Student: “I noticed I was missing a classwork assignment, and I was wondering if I could make it up to change my grade.”
Me: “That classwork assignment was due during class about two months ago. You should have finished it and turned it in the day it was assigned.”
Student: “Yeah, but that was probably during one of those days that I was gone.”
Me: “Then you should have had this conversation with me as soon as you got back and saw that you had missed it.”
Student: “Well, I didn’t tell you this, but I was having trouble accessing my online grades earlier this quarter so I wouldn’t have been able to see what I was missing.”
Me: “I also print out your progress report and give it to you after every exam so you didn’t need to access your online grades.”
Student: “Oh. Ha ha. Well, you got me there.” [walks away] (10/17/17)
