i'm not making any excuses when i don't do my homework. this is the common conversation between me and my previous professors Prof: where's your assignment Me: i'm sorry but none sir Prof: Why Me: i forgot to do it Can you call it an excuse? i guess not.... When i'm guilty i usually not making any excuses for myself i'll just say sorry, look at the floor with a sheepish look on my face.

Haha. That is a good one xien2xien. I guess in university level it doesn't matter if you do your assignment or not. It is grade that matters :p

yap, it's useless to reason out because weather your reason is valid or not still it may cause something bad with your grades, so why tell excuses.

Hi. shaace. Welcome to myLot! Yes, you are right, these are the most common excuses for not turning homework in on time. I have never used these excuses, not unless they were true. I have however, had to tell my son's teacher a couple of times, that I accidentally forgot to put his homework into his homework folder on that Friday. See the teacher sends him a homework packet that is full of sheets on every Monday. I will take these sheets out of his folder and I will place them into a yellow folder that I keep at home for him. This is called his "homework folder", at home. When my son has all the way up until Friday to complete his homework, he will have already done his homework before Friday and that is how his homework gets left out from being into his red homework folder from school.

I never had to give any excuses, but I'd imagine that there are going to be some good ones these days. Of course, given that mostly everything is done on a computer and typed up and printed off, you have really not too many excuses as you used do. If your hard drive crashed, you really should have had that backed up somewhere else. If the printer is busted, there are online e-mail accounts where you can sent the assignment to yourself and print it off at a printer at school. It is amusing that people tend to use an excuse that have been used time and time again and that no one in their right mind would believe. Of course, one would wonder what would happen if the dog actually did eat one's homework. I think that I would come up with a different story, even if the dog eating the homework one was true, because that is so outlandish that no one in their right mind is going to believe it at all.

That is good one megamatt, Yes, Nowadays assignment and homework is done through computer. Some new excuses are: "running out of printer cartridge and/or paper", "hard-disk crash" is a very good one indeed :)

I work part time so I don't have time to make my homework. That will be a good reason for not doing your homework.

I would say, "sorry I didn't do my homework because there is no real reason I should be doing it. I can learn without doing homework, and I can learn without you professor so let me do my own thing while you scold your other students and we can both be happy. You dig?"

I think the common reason is that I don't feel well. So I hardly finish my homework... Perhaps this is a reasonable excuse?:) I love China

My primary reason why I haven't done my assignment would be because I don't know how to answer it. It's too seldom for me to reason out that I forgot about it.
