A: Excuse me, Professor. I have to talk to you about why my homework didn't get done.<br>

B: What happened that you didn't get it done?<br>

A:I had to watch a football game instead.<br>

B: Well, you had more than one day; couldn't you have fit it in on another day?<br>

A: Yes, I think so.<br>

B: Either way, I only allow one missed assignment per semester. When will you be turning the make-up in?<br>

A:I'll make it up next week.<br>

B:Fine, but it cannot happen again if you want an “A” in the class.<br>

A:OK, I can do that.<br>

B:Remember that you are in college now, not high school. <br>
