I am just curious as to what others would think if this happened to them.
In lecture, we were beginning a series of 25 point quizzes and everyone was sitting there waiting for the quiz to be handed out . . . then the instructor says, "bring all of your backbacks or whatever up to the front of the room and put them against the wall." So we did. Then she says, "everything, purses too." One student was so offended she said, "I have a tissue in my pocket--do you want to look at that too!?".
Personally, I found it offensive. I did not get this far by cheating and don't appreciate being treated like a child. Apparently, most of the class agrees with me--but what can you do? It is obvious she does not think the nursing students are trustworthy.
One time, when trying to stress a point, the instructor said to the class, "now repeat after me" and made the whole class repeat what she said. I was so offended by this that I can't even remember what it was that she was trying to stress. It has gotten to the point where some students are so disgusted, they get up and leave class while the instructor is still lecturing.
Needless to say, my instructor(s) never cease to amaze me.:bowingpur
