Help I accidentally dropped my homework down the elevator shaft

<p>What should I do? Tell my professor?</p>

<p>suck it up and re-do it</p>

<p>Redo it. If it was particularly time consuming and you don’t have time to redo it for whatever reason, just tell your prof that you don’t have it and ask if you can turn it in late. If they ask what happened, THEN tell them. I’ve found that offering an excuse right off the bat makes you look like you’re just making crap up, especially when it’s something as unusual as your situation. Most profs have pre-determined policies that dictate whether they’re going to let you turn it in late or refuse to accept it late, and your excuse (or lack thereof) usually won’t sway them the other direction.</p>

<p>lol…i’m always scared to drop things down there…</p>
