The excuses used by the students are lame and not substantial. The instructors should not accept late submission of work in class. The writer tries to show that the students do not have a limitation towards their sources of excuses in trying to justify their late submission of assignments or absence from class. However, the scholar will still show the tutor how “…The course is greater important to me than ever,” as a sign of commitment. The author factors out that other students use supposed accidents to explain their absence from class. The excuses range from technology, friends, and family. The students will use the story about the death of a household member to manipulate the sympathy of the teacher into accepting late submissions. According to Segal, “The death of a grandfather/grandmother is the grandmother of all excuses”. The writer describes the variety of excuses used by students in making an attempt to justify the late submissions of their assignments.
