Five Excuses Your Prof Won’t Accept

5. “Blackboard/Moodle/Insert Website Here doesn’t work for me off campus.”

Wait. What? How is this even an excuse? You could email me the paper explaining you can’t submit through the electronic system. Unless all email service has also stopped working at your house? Or, since you are sitting here now, on campus, where Blackboard/Moodle/Whatever does work, perhaps you could submit it, uhhh, now? Oh, right, nope, because it’s a giant fucking lie.
