My school was the same. The teachers told us straight up, they didn't care if we showed up or not, we were paying to be there, the teachers got paid the same whether we showed up or not and in the end, if we chose not to show up for a lecture, there's a good chance we wouldn't know the material well enough to pass the tests on it anyway, so our grades just always reflected our own efforts. I remember missing one stats lecture, for a good reason, and being nearly completely screwed over for a bit after that. I ended up having to teach myself the stuff I missed just to stay caught up.
