In my case, it was because I was embarrassed. I mean, we know you know the grades. You looked at the work. I guess it was actually looking the prof/TA in the eye when you got a 30% knowing that the only people to blame for your failure is yourself.
Hell, there was a time I took a quiz that I know I bombed. Instead of turning it in hoping for partial credit, I just walked out with it, balled it up, and threw it in the trash. What sense does getting a flat 0% make when you know you can get at least something by turning in some work?
