He's clearly too good to have to actually study His homework marks don't support this hypothesis, but I'm constantly amazed by the levels of denial some students are capable of, so it's possible he does think this.
He's already paid for his degree after all He's paying for the opportunity to try to get a degree, which is subtly different - although I'm not entirely convinced he quite understands this detail either.
The thing is, I'm generally a fairly sympathetic person, and if an otherwise hardworking student hands something in a day late once, then I'm fairly likely to bend the rules and just let it go. But if the student keeps doing it, and can't even be bothered to put a modicum of effort into sounding convincing, or keeping a straight face, then he's getting zero for that assignment.
