Case 4: Car Failure
Class Absence Excuse Discussion, ECE400, Spring 2012
A student misses class because, according to his claims, his car would not start that day. He lives half an hour drive from campus where there is no bus service. He is really sorry but there was really nothing he could do about it.

- Do not count it unless he brings a service/maintenance slip from the mechanic. This excuse is just too common and easy to come up with otherwise.
- Artyom Melanich, Response
- Shouldn't be acceptable unless there is a proof of the mechanical report. I would hardly accept it because it is a student's responsibility to come to class and provide transportation, there is a bus option. Car should be checked in advance.
