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.”

The College Student Excuse of the Day for October 18th

7/25/2021

 
Picture
“One of my students was late to the class video meeting because he was eating cake in the shower and it fell and plugged the drain so his shower started flooding and his mom came upstairs because there was water flooding the kitchen. I am not sure how cake would plug a drain to the point one couldn’t just clear it out, but his mom was yelling at him about cake in the background so I believed him...and laughed for about ten minutes!”

“In the middle of a class one of my students’ toddlers ran into the room naked and my student just slammed the computer shut and didn’t come back. Later they emailed me and said ‘I’m sorry for missing the remainder of class, I was too embarrassed to log back in after everyone saw my son’s private parts.’ I cackled and assured them it was okay.”

It’s not just students who have “issues” with online classes. Indeed, sometimes it is the instructor who makes the mistake about where to be online on their calendar for the day:

  • “I was 30 minutes late to a Zoom lab meeting because I was sitting in the wrong zoom session. I was really pissed that not one student showed up. I was really sheepish when I went to the right zoom. They were all there waiting for me.”
