Chuck,
there is no "standard". The student/teacher relationship is based on much more than attendance and repertory.

Poor attendance is a sign of someone not doing their job. If this teacher cannot get their act together, the university needs to notified and make functional arrangements.

As far as inspiration, encouragement and direction goes, my experience shows that this is ALWAYS a two way street. There are some people that just cannot find a common denominator. This does not make one or the other good or bad, it is just a fact of life. A true professional will make arrangements for a plan B, which may also fail, as there are some that have to be spoon fed..................

If your desire to learn is truly on fire, you will find a way to solve that problem. The first step is getting in contact with the university to make arrangements for credit.
