The worst excuse I’ve ever heard from a student for not showing up to class was actually from a colleague of mine at a different institution in New York. And the student hadn’t shown up for something like two weeks, and then the professor got a phone call from the student asking how they could make up the assignments, and also informing that they wouldn’t be back in class for another few weeks until they were let out of jail.
还有学生,是说自己电脑坏了,怕教授不信,还发了一张碎屏照片护体……
The weirdest excuse I got was that during the assignment at 3 in the morning, the computer broke. But what was weirder was then the student sent me a picture of a computer with shattered screen.
也有因为不可抗力迟交作业的,有学生说自己的家里遇到了龙卷风,房子倒了……
The best excuse for not turning in homework on time: my house was destroyed by a hurricane. True story. I looked it up — her house had been destroyed by a hurricane.
迟交作业最好的理由:我的房子被龙卷风毁了。这是真的事情。我查了,她的房子确实被龙卷风毁了。
下面这位就比较离谱了,说是梦没做完,必须睡觉把梦做完…… I also have had that they were too busy because they were sleeping. And they were sleeping and they were having a dream about a mermaid, and they wanted to go back to sleep to see how the dream ended. I thought that was a pretty strange thing.
