The reason for the 15 minutes you have heard might be that in the past 15 minutes were allowed for both students and professors due to the imprecission of public time sources and the time to reach the lecture place. The term is still well known in some countries as an "academic quarter" "Akademische Viertelstunde". Sometimes it is still honored, but more in less official meetings.
Todays there is no reason for this in regular classes and professors are expected to be on time. See other answers for recommendation what to do when they are late.
I'd suggest the following: wait 5 or 10 minutes, or whatever length of time seems to you to exceed an ordinary minor delay. Then call the department office and tell them that the professor has not arrived, and ask what they suggest you should do. Otherwise, if they say you should leave, you have a pretty good defense if the professor should object.
And if they say you should stay, you know that the department will not be on your side if you leave. There is no such rule. The professor is paid, in part, based on a certain number of classroom hours. If they arrive late they are violating the terms of their employment, so it's hard to imagine them taking a punitive roll call after people had already given up.
If this actually happened to you, ask the professor in question what they consider the right amount of time to wait. Sign up to join this community. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top. And if I were a student, I would be sure to be the last one to leave, however long the rest of them waited. According to Snopes though, some schools do specify the elusive waiting period. However, the differentiation between T.
So how to deal with this dilemma? But unless you can find a specific rule in your student handbook, this myth is most likely false at your institution of higher learning. Simple as that. Then people just play games on their phones or draw in notepads.
These are my reasons why:. Doing the research, you CAN leave but with a set of requirements: 1: Private Schools have more periods but shorter classes. If your class is typically 1 hour and 30 minutes that is long enough to leave.
If so, you can leave but expect something. If this is college, then you go girl. Public Schools: These were actually pretty hard comparing to how easy my research on private schools. If a teacher does not show up after 15 minutes, notify the school and leave I guess. I guess you can leave if you notify the school and you are in a position where you can drive a car or you have a getaway driver, sure. In my country Central Asia , if a student is late for even 1 minute, they are marked as a now show.
However, if a teacher is late for 15 mintues or more, they are not punished or ordered to leave the class!!! They just simply mark the whole class if there is no presence of students as now show!!!
But that is dishonest, actually!!! Why are teachers not treated for their irresponsibility for their job?!!! We need legacy to set the fair!!! When i was at the door the teacher came in. I sill left. Honestly, why should students have to deal with their teacher being late? I believe this rule should be a thing, but if a teacher shows up, they need to deal with being absent. You guys are all lost and have something wrong with you. If your teacher us late you suck it up and read a book or catch up on other studies… your going to be shocked when you enter the real world.
I feel sorry for most Americans……. I think that we should be able to leave because if a teacher is late the students are not learning anything by standing in a hallway. We should be able to leave because we could be going to another class that we are struggling in but at my high school we are told no matter how late our teacher is we have to wait in the hallway. I think college itself is total BS and you should quit it doesnt matter if its 15 minutes or 1 minute just leAve thank s.
At my high school the minute-rule was understood by everyone. Including teachers. I had one teacher forget to unlock the door on the classroom he was in. After knocking several times, we left. He never looked up. I agree with others here, that a penalty for tardiness should go both ways. And a manager who deliberately walks in very late everyday, with a smug look, may soon find themselves without a workforce.
We had outdoors school one Friday and it was freezing cold outside. We waited for 20 minutes before we started to go home we called the principal twice and after an eventual 45 minutes someone finally came. I was dead sick that weekend. I had a professor who was constantly late for class. He would show up late nearly everyday and many times he would be more than 15 minutes late. Many of my classmates would leave class if he was more than 15 minutes late.
When the professor did come strolling in, about half of the students had already left after the 15 minutes, so he was unable to teach a lesson that half of the class was not there to hear.
Although it was annoying that I was paying for a class that was not being taught I think that the students who left had the right to do so. A students time is just as valuable as a professors. A college is supposed to cater to the students; the students are the customers and they need to have a service that is worth paying for.
It should be the same for colleges. I had to fight and make my case to several people all the way to the president of the school and let him know that my time was wasted and that I wanted a refund for that class. Finally I got a refund and the professor was fired. It might be a rule in some colleges, but some might not. It is important to inform professors in advance that you will not submit your assignment as per the deadline rather than submitting it with no notice.
Some students are held up by unavoidable circumstances that hinder them from completing their assignments on time. When the student is ill or his parents or guardians are, balancing time between taking care of parents, doing household chores, and doing their assignments is hard.
These students write to their instructors informing them that they may miss the assignment deadline. This email should explain the reasons as to why they were unable to meet the set deadline, their assignment progress, and the time that they need to complete the assignment. Students who request deadlines to have more time for conducting research and eventually submitting quality work are mostly known by professors and get their requests granted.
Professors hate it when students hand in their work late. It is, therefore, good if students write emails to their professors apologizing for late assignment submissions. An apology email should be written in a sincere most manner. This can help avoid harsh penalties and earn leniency from your professor. An apology email should have believable reasons as to why your assignment is late. It should also have the apology directed to the instructor and a promise that you made a mistake and it will never be repeated.
Most people are familiar with emails. Below is how one should write a late assignment email to your professor.
