professor talking on her cell phone while the class is taking a test

[Random Variable]

For about ten minutes while we were taking an exam today, the professor stood outside the open classroom door and talked on her cell phone. I really didn't care because I was basically done with the exam by that time, but I'm sure other people were quite pissed.

I had a TA confiscate a cell phone during one of my exams.. He then proceeded to answer it and talk on it.. IN FRONT OF THE ****** CLASS TAKING THE EXAM..

He was like "This is so and so's phone. He lost it because he didn't turn it off during the exam.."

Finally, after answering three or so calls (and talking in his gay-ass voice), some girl in the front row was like, "Are you ever gonna shut the hell up? We're trying to take an exam!"

Hey, at least she went out to the hall.

I had a teacher leave during a final exam for my under grad Computational Theory class - twice. Imagine the sound level from dead quiet to that of a cafeteria. Unfortunately I didn't speak Chinese (90% of the class was Chinese) or I would have had all the answers.

edit: he left to answer a call.

Couldn't you up and ask the prof to shut up?

He wouldn't have gotten very far after answering the phone the first time if it were my phone. I'd walk up to him, take it back and tell him you're turning it off and keeping it in your possesion.

It's one thing for him to take it from you, it's another to use it like that. In fact, he is, at that point, breaking the same rule himself. If he bitched about it (which it sounds like he would), I'd tell him we can take the matter the next level up and talk to that person about how I violated the rule once, yet he did three times.

He should have just powered the thing down after he took it. He didn't because he wanted to make you look stupid, which it sounds like he did.
