My teacher thought I was cheating on the test?

<p>So my Theology class took a computer test today in the library. My teacher saw that I had some notes out, and it was only when he mentioned them that I realized I FORGOT to put them away in time for the test. I tried explaining to him what happened, but he kept shaking his head and saying no and that there is nothing to explain. This happened within the first 2 minutes of the test. I tried explaining to him again after he was done disciplining me, but he still refused to look me in the eye and told me to sit outside. He told me I would get an F (I don't know if that means 0% or 50%)... Luckily, he said he wouldn't report it to the Principal. I cannot retake the test and must take the F..</p>

<p>I am currently a senior and will be graduating next month. Right now I have an 89%. If I get a 50%, my grade will go to an 86%, while if I get a 0%, my grade will go to an 80%. I DON'T WANT A C!!!</p>

<p>I'm afraid that for the final exam, my teacher will have some bias and give me a bad grade on that. What should I do??? Should I just try harder next time or should I try talking to him? He's a VERY strict, stubborn teacher and I don't think he will ever budge.</p>

<p>I got into UCLA by the way. I DON'T want my admission revoked!! My grades are:</p>

<p>ASB - A
Band - A
AP Government - B
AP English - B
AP Spanish - A
Honors Theology (the class I'm talking about in the thread) - B
AP Calculus - C
AP Psychology - B</p>

<p>I doubt UCLA will rescind your admission over the B. Just be happy it’s not going on your record. Yeah, it sucks, but what can you possibly do about it now? He’s made his mind up, and there’s nothing you can do to change it.</p>

<p>Just pray, that will fix it ;)</p>

<p>No, nothing will happen to you. I know some guy who was temporarily kicked out of his school for possession of drugs before admissions for UCs even came out and he still got into UCB</p>

<p>alright so I’ll just try harder on the final? That and an upcoming project are all that’s left for the class…</p>
