She explained that she had an asthmatic cat at home and she was worried that she had forgotten to turn on the air conditioner. I was an adjunct at the time, and she created a major hoopla when she received a zero on it.” Want to read the “best” excuses that students have actually used on their college professors, from the professors themselves?
