Excuses: A Process Analysis Of School Students

Improved Essays
Process Analysis Students in school wonder if it 's possible to get all A 's in their classes or maybe just one class. I’m going to start off with experience from school. With some of the experience that I had in school I think it is possible to get an A but the student has to be on the ball and not slack off at the end. Students just have to try hard and not get distracted when they are doing their work or studying. If they could do that then there will be no problem on passing the class with a good grade. The student just can’t just slack off in class or that will get to them later on in during the course. For some students, they use excuses to get out of class and others have poor time management to do their assignments or studies. Like forgetfulness, parking struggles, and illness, are the most common excuses that professors hear from the students who are late, miss deadlines, or are absent from the class. (Kichigina) Basically, the author is trying to say that the professors heard all types access so they don 't go easy on anyone. The most used excused is the illness one whether they are telling the truth or not. So the teachers make it fair because they give students 3-6 absent days with no excuse nut yet again some students make some odd excuse to get out of some sort of penalty. (Kichigina) So it’s better to just go to class and not miss anything important for that subject so the …show more content…
Time management plays a big role when you’re a student in college because they’re on their own and the teacher won’t be telling when an assignment is due to. They expect the student to have the assignment all done and ready to get whether it’s in class or turned in on the web. It’s important to manage your time so that the student could complete everything that needs to be completed. If students have proper time management skills I think it would lead them to success

    In the essay “The Dog Ate My Disk, an Other Tales of Woe” Professor Carolyn Foster Segal explains that even after lengthy syllabus warnings and a humorous cartoon of a cat explaining to its teacher that a dog ate its homework, students still came up with multiple excuses for being tardy, absent or turning in assigned work late. She categorized the excuses into these five categories, the family, the best friend, the evils in dorm life, the evils in technology, and the totally bizarre. For family, Segal points out that “The death of the grandfather/grandmother is, of course, the grandmother of all excuses” (565). Students will use that excuse all the time because the teacher will probably show pity for them in their sorrow. Demonstrating…

    Students in high schools had teachers instructing and advising them on what, how, and when to do their schoolwork; however, in university students have the freedom and each one is responsible for him/her self. Although majority of students enjoy this lack of restrictions at first, but several feel overwhelmed, confused, and find difficulties in making decisions, taking responsibilities, and finishing all the work they were assigned with. Lastly, few students fail some classes due to a combination of their inability to adapt to the fast-paced life of undergraduates, their nonexistent time management skills, and procrastination as well as all of the problems mentioned…

    For example, if your initial plan was to attend class, but you find out that you have to work within thattime frame. Missing class would mean missing notes, and missing work would mean missing payment. An effective "Plan B" would either include, telling your employer before hand that you have class, so that your schedule may be adjusted, or telling your instructor that you have to work, so that they may send you the notes through another source. In another attempt to avoid failure, you could ask classmate to text or email you the notes, or perhaps just record the entire class and send it to you as a multimedia message, the possibilities are…

    Andrew Delbanco in his article “3 Reasons College Still Matters,” he points out the importance of getting a college degree by saying that citizens must think of the benefits that they are going to get after they graduate from college. He gives three benefits when students get a college degree, and these benefits are: economically, politically, and intellectually educated. It sounds good to have such benefits, but nowadays, with all the development in technology that we have and all the things that make our life so easy, we depend every day more on technology. Now people are enrolling at colleges and they are trying to get good grades, but the technology is creating a wall between leaning and scoring grades. The big problem now is not how can…

    As a student I have seen all the excuses other students make to get away with things. Students could use it in their favor to avoid failing the class, as well as to make the class easier for them. Not only is this going to affect the professors, but the student as well. If students are constantly complaining or making up excuses, it will then make teachers refrain which will lead to limiting learning. If this were to occur, then that means that students will not be learning everything they have to know which will lead to not being able to master the course fully which can affect them in their future…

My skills that mostly improved are time management, note taking, and participation. Time management was a skill that I used to be horrible with, but got better with time.…

    Culpepper states that it would be the teacher’s failure to accept chronic absences because of the student’s hard life (Culpepper 331). Moreover, altering opportunities for students, could, in turn, make them think the teacher will always be lenient towards them. This could cause the student to deliberately slack off, and to take advantage of the instructor’s generosity. No matter the situation, every student should have the exact same opportunity. For the system to be fair, this is the only way to go about the situation.…
