So true about moving away from paper logs and messy spreadsheets! Trying to calculate attendance by hand always leads to mistakes, especially near exam season when you're trying to figure out your exact margins. Having a dedicated digital tool removes all that guesswork. I actually built a [75 percent attendance calculator](https://attendcalc.com/) to help students check their target percentages instantly without dealing with manual formulas. Automating the math saves so much headache. Great write-up!
