ABSTRACT
“Skipping Class” is a common memory of everyone’s school life. Teaching a class is the same as selling a consumer
product. The perception of attending an unwelcome mandatory class is like forcing a consumer to buy an unsatisfying, non-returnable
product. Thus, this generates the “Skipping Class” behavior. This research is using the “Learning Value” website to study the
student’s behavior of skipping class. This platform provides five primary functions: the “Skip Class”, “Fail Down”, “ABC Score”,
“Guestbook”, and “Sharing”. Students are able to decide whether or not to “Skip Class” via the website. The skipping class behavior
risk evaluation is according to some analyses (e.g., the frequencies of class attendance and class examination, and classmates’
assistance such as class notes). Fail Down is to analyze whether the student might pass the course or not at the end of this
semester/quarter. ABC Score is to calculate the students’ GPA in which the students may realize that skipping class is more likely to
get a lower grade. Guestbook connects website users together by allowing users to share their personal experiences. Sharing
introduces the different stories and practical examples of how students around the world go to school in many difficult ways,
interesting writing punishment tools, and skipping class techniques. The Learning Value website is
http://140.131.84.199/calculator/index_e.htm. For maximum quality, display resolution should be set at 1,024 × 768. As for technical
support, the website uses IIS (Internet Information Services) as the web server and ASP.NET 3.5 as the web application framework.
The database server is performed by SQL Server 2008 to organize and manage data. The webpage graphic designer used Adobe
Photoshop CS6 as design tools.
