As I always say, don't gamble if you can't afford to lose.
Many of my students were shocked to discover that I not only took attendance, but I had no "decent week"s to skip - I had them working every class period. Part of their grade was made up of in-class quizzes and assignments which you could not make up if you skipped. And yes, I checked to see when students joined the class so I could determine whether or not that zero for the first quiz would count against them - obviously, if you had not registered for the class I wouldn't include that first week's grades. You just shouldn't ASSUME . . .
