I used to skip philosophy quite a bit during the second half of a semester. Usually during the first 6 or 7 weeks all the topics necessary for the assignment were covered, then after that you would only need to know about one more topic to be able to do the take-home exam so if I couldn't be bothered to go, I wouldn't. It's kind of stupid, looking back, considering I took philosophy for pleasure and I didn't actually have anything 'better' to do. Although a lot of my philosophy lectures were at night, which was annoying. I never skipped classes where I couldn't get notes from anyone, like ancient history (which I also really enjoyed so wouldn't have skipped anyway).
I also skipped one class this semester when I knew what we were talking about would be boring and pointless. I would normally NEVER skip classes at this level because it's actually important for me to go and learn stuff about how to treat and assess clients considering I actually have said clients to treat and assess, but we were talking AGAIN about this stupid questionnaire that we're testing and have discussed in multiple classes before. The lecturer made the mistake of telling us the week before that that was what he had on the agenda for the next week - I think the class was fairly sparse that week.
