This scenario is an example of a violation of a social script according to Erving Goffman's dramaturgical analysis. In this context, the social script would be the expected behavior or actions in a given situation, which in this case involves students completing and turning in assignments. The student's failure to do so deviates from the expected behavior, thus violating the social script.
