The College Student Excuse of the Day for November 12th

“I will say I once had a student apologize for being late to class. He waited until after he turned in his midterm to tell me he'd been in a car accident and was trying to find a doctor's appointment for after my class. I begged him to please email me after he'd been to urgent care. He did *not* look okay.”

The College Student Excuse of the Day for November 11th

7/26/2021

 
Picture
“Last summer, an active duty student enrolled in my course while deployed ‘over there.’ His work was hit and miss in terms of punctuality; He let me know up front he probably should not have enrolled while deployed. He messaged me one week that he hadn’t been able to do his work because he had to be ‘outside the wire’ (military terminology for attacking the enemy) with no communication. He finished the course with an extension: very respectful and hard-working when he could. His internet connection was in a tent/mess hall the whole time, so not exactly an ideal environment.”

“Okay, this one left me speechless, but I had a student email to tell me that she missed classes because she has a yeast infection and can't wear any underwear. TMI for sure!”

The College Student Excuse of the Day for November 8th

7/26/2021

“This is not a funny story, but was a wake up call for me. It was my first day teaching writing courses at a technical school near DC. 15 minutes before the class was scheduled to end, about half of the class suddenly packed up, stood up, and quietly left the room as I continued teaching. I stopped teaching and asked the remaining students what just happened. They told me that the students had to leave to catch the next bus, and if they didn’t get that bus, they would have to wait another hour and would be late to work or other responsibilities. From then on, I ended the lecture portion of class early in anticipation of the early departures. I later learned that some students took three buses every day just to make it to class.”
