did the prof use the corrected exam, or the one that was all messed up?

and yeah you did a good thing, standing up for undergrads is important. i'm not surprised the prof got all pissy, you showed him he wrote a bad exam

I agree - questions that are impossible or completely incoherent show that maybe he should review his materials prior to sending them out.

Did the professor who helped you alter the exam to make it possible realize the purpose of your asking him for info?

If so, then I'd say you're not at fault for anything.

The professor who helped me knew exactly what was going on.

But it was still my fault. Although I did have help with making the corrections, it was my choice and responsibilty to those corrections. The fact that I gave an exam with corrections (not of the professor of the class) was my responsibilty not the other professors.

Maybe I missed the point. The point is he was out of town, out of state, actually out of country all week. He wrote the exam before he left and gave me instruction to administer the test on Wednesday.

So it was my choice on what exam to give, because he wasn't here to make a decision. I chose to give the exam with my corrections.

And to say he got pissy is an understatment.

I hate those situations. With no right answer and only bad choices. But like I said it, I think being in those situations truely shows someones character. And you have to experience them ever know and then even though they REALLY SUCK!
