Students did it willingly and even happily as the man patiently waited for each to go through the authentication process.

People who saw the video said the man did the right thing because mischievous students are known for imputing the names of their friends who are absent in the class register.

But others insist that some students might still find a way around the lecturer’s innovative idea.
