Was this fair of my professor to do?

<p>^ I was responding to someone who asked me a question, which I’m allowed to do :rolleyes:.</p>

<p>ETA: Btw, I think it’s completely unfair. I understand where the prof is coming from but it’s unreasonable. I simply had never thought of this before because I’ve never seen it happen.</p>

<p>I should point out that I do realize it was my fault for “instigating” this situation. When I emailed my professor, I repeatedly acknowledged this and accepted responsibility for it. No matter how much I personally believe that students shouldn’t be prevented from using the restroom, I can see where she is coming from. I mainly just vehemently disagree with the course of action she took and the manner in which she did it - she was extremely unwilling to listen to anything I had to say. I told her I’m not attempting to salvage my grade, which hopefully will make her a bit more willing to listen this time. She hasn’t responded yet, which worries me a bit…but hopefully she will by tomorrow morning.</p>

<p>And religion: I’m not aware of any explicit honor code. Certainly not of the type Davidson, Haverford, etc. have.</p>

<p>just let it go… don’t try to make a supreme court case out of a stupid restroom incident. And next time, pee and poop BEFORE you sit down, OK??? :)</p>

<p>I think it’s unfair she didn’t warn you. I thought it was pretty common to hold it if you had to pee during a test until after you finished but you’d be surprised how many students go to the bathroom during a test. All of the professors that I’ve seen have been okay with it, unless they explicitly were told before that this wasn’t allowed.</p>

<p>I’m afraid there won’t be a real conclusion to this story in the near future, or at all. I emailed her on Monday; she never responded. I went to office hours yesterday, but only to talk about an upcoming paper. Neither of us broached the topic of the exam, except for her mentioning she hadn’t finished grading. She seemed a little uncomfortable when we first started talking, but that’s about it. </p>

<p>Thanks for all of your responses. They (most of them) made me feel a little better about the situation.</p>
