I had a lecture this morning that started at half ten. I was meant to stay in there till 12pm but I felt really really unwell and thought I was going to be sick (I was drinking last night :rolleyes: ) and it was just really hot in there and gah, I had to get out.
Well anyways, it took me about 20 minutes to have to guts to stand up and walk out but I never noticed that before I did this that a few other people had walked out as the doors are at the back of the lecture theatre which was where I was sitting.
Well anyways, as soon as I bloody stood up and went to walk out the lecturer said in front of 300 students "why is everyone leaving?" and then this fuckin geek of a student said "why are you leaving such an important lecture"
Grrr, I didn't feel well. Would you rather I was throwing up in the lecture?!
Well anyways then I had problems opening the doors and gah. HOW EMBARASSING. I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me.
Over 300 students all turned around and looked at me. I thought I was going to be sick there and then.
Should I email the lecturer and apologise or should I just leave it? He seemed rather annoyed and he is my seminar tutor as well so its not like I can hide from him in future.
I'm just rather annoyed as he has never made a scene about people leaving the lecture yet they have been doing it since week one :mad:

Just a short email to apologise for leaving your lecture early today as I was feeling unwell. I felt it was better to leave quietly but wasn't aware that it would cause the reaction that it did! Sorry for interrupting your lecture.

I don't know whether to send one or not though. I don't wanna look like a geek but then again, I don't want him thinking that I was just being rude.
No, it doesnt. its just that if i were you, id say more. he's obviously bothered you+he has no right to make you feel like that, especially wen some students run out noisily!
Straw. Camels back.
He probably never got any action last night and was fed up with women running out on him.
Send the Email. It's sounds fine and he'll appreciate the effort.
I personally think that if she included any of that it'd come off as she was making excuses. That usually doesn't go down too well and is uneccesary.
I think what you wrote sounded fine. I don't think it's much fun for lecturers to have kids walk out on them, and he was just feeling mildly frustrated because of it. Don't take it to heart, sometimes there are like 30 kids in lectures in my uni when there should be over 100.
Just send a short email to him saying that you were very sorry for leaving the lecture and disturbing his teaching, but that you felt very ill and you needed to leave.
He'll appreciate the effort, because it is normally very rude to walk out of someone's lesson.
it sounds fine.
