This is my first time here so forgive me if I’m in the completely wrong place. I’m a post bacc at a new university who has a degree in biology and a degree in psychology. I’m just finishing up some classes so I can apply to PA programs who require classes I don’t have yet (like organic 2). I took my first test today in my first class at this university fully prepared to do well. I noticed there was no clock or anything so I assumed he would make some time announcement. The questions weren’t hard but it’s organic so I was checking and rechecking, skipping a few or not so sure of them and marking them to be reworked. I was determined to make an A and feeling confident when my professor said we had one minute left with no other time warning! I was mortified. I had no way of knowing the time and just started marking furiously in on the bubble sheets the one I had missed. The test had few questions (bulkier questions with fewer overall) so I’m sure it ruined my score! I was so upset and caught off guard. Two other students asked him the same thing on their way out (for a ten minute warning).
I’m wondering if I should email him and just explain what happened. The problem is that it’s not like I would or could ask for anything like extra credit so it doesn’t really matter if I email him. I more or less just don’t want him to think I don’t understand the class or am not trying. I take my studies extremely seriously. I’ve never had this happen before and I literally cried realizing that I worked so hard and made sure I did everything well just to get a C probably because of this. Should I drop the class depending on my grade? I’m just so upset and confused.
