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…

really will not be into the book and have an open mind about it. Also, the story has deep meaning behind the reading such as having a calm approach to such irregular events that you wouldn’t expect. I think this is a great learning lesson for college professors…
