As noises start up in the adjacent room, I leave the exam I’m proctoring and walk over:

This is a post from vaguelyamusing:

Me (quietly): Hi, I’m sorry, there’s an exam going on next door…
Lecturer: Exam? I don’t know anything about an exam. This class is just ending.
Me (quietly): Right, I mean, I’m proctoring an exam right now…
Lecturer: Sure, this class is just ending right now, you can have the room in a moment.
Me (quietly): No, I mean, there’s an exam going on right now, and I was wondering…
Lecturer: Oh. I don’t know where it is, sorry.
Me (quietly): I mean, the exam’s next door right now, and we can hear everyone talking in this room.
Lecturer: Yes, I’ve just finished class, so I’m done talking.
Me (quietly): Right, but we can hear all the noise from the students talking. Would it be okay if I asked them to be quiet?
Lecturer: So you’re saying they’re being too loud?
Me (quietly): Yes.
Lecturer: And you want them to be quiet?
Me (quietly): Yes.
Lecturer (to class, at top of his lungs): QUIET, PLEASE!!!
