Just had a fone call off my lecturer telling me that i have to go to a meeting at 1.15 its not volentry and i will be there! i know what its about. i didnt do my coursework for his module but i told him i had thinking that i could do it over the weekend. i couldnt cos it is so difficult and i dont understand the subject at all, but i couldnt go to him for help cos he thort id dont it.
two questions
1) what do u think i should say? should i just tell him outright that i was lying to him but i was finding the coursework really difficult (i no thats no excuse)
2) do you think i could get kicked off my course for this?
im at uni by the way if it makes any difference.
please reply
and i know its my fault i just need answers to the above questions

Your lecturer should be fine if you explain that you dont understand it and will probably try to help you by maybe giving you some extra resources. After all its not the lecturer who's missing out on the marks its you. Te lecturer is only there to assist you for your work and exams.
but depending on your course/uni/year/lecturer you could find yourself either getting a 0 for that piece of work, which will drag all your marks down, or if you actually do it, you might have a very low mark, because it is late.
if you can't do your work, or you think it'll be late, it's always a good idea to talk to the person who set it before the deadline. then they can either give you an extension, or help you through it. if you see them after the deadline, you've already missed it, and there's nothing they can do.
(note that this may only work on men or overly nice/shy women)
thanx for ur help people
