Colleagues,

If my students are to be believed, then a very large portion of them have roommates who turn off alarms which do not belong to themselves.  Thus facilitating the target student over-sleeping and missing class.
It has to be the #1 excuse for 'over sleeping' that I get.
[Whatever happened to grouchily waking the roommate up with much noise and complaining?]

If true, then does  Student/ Resident Life need to sponsor education sessions on personal property issues?
If not true, then why do students feel this is a great (repeatable & reusable) excuse?

Anyone else?
