College Frustrations

So my Wyoming History teacher is such a dope! He administered a take home constitution exam and stated that we couldn't work togeter. Well what the heck did he think was going to happen that people wouldn't cheat?!?! Come on people cheat in class what makes you think that they won't cheat when not monitored! Well upon grading his test he realized that in his pile alone there were 3 sets of identical tests. So instead of just punishing those involved he make EVERYONE take a retake test and makes the 2nd and 3rd exam combined! Ugh I'm so frustrated! I spent 8 hours on that test and I feel like my time is totally wasted since I get zero credit for it. I know others feel this way as well so I wrote him an email:

I'm sure you are now getting a flood of emails over the constitution exam mishap. I have no intentions to be rude and honestly have no problem doing the multiple choice open book test and I feel like it may be a good compromise for the problem. However, as a take home test it is impossible to believe people won't cheat. Also because it was a test administered to all of the class on a very narrow subject it is possible that many answers would come out similar. Now word for word or paraphrased tests are unacceptable I agree. Yet, I do feel that by making all of the students retake a test that most spent days working on (it took me two full nights to complete it) is unfair. I now feel like I wasted all that time on the test and having to retake it is somewhat of a burden when I am getting no credit for something that made me stress out so much! I feel that only the students that have identical or obviously paraphrased off of each other tests should be the ones that retake it or if not receive a zero. That is academic dishonesty and the truely fair thing to do would be to first off never do it as a take home in the future but for those that did email it to each other (as I heard individuals in class stating they had done) should receive zeros. But those who really did work hard on their own should not be punished with the stress of a new test.

Sorry if this comes across rude, I just wanted my opinion on the matter to be known. Like I said, if you feel my individual test matches anyone elses I would have no problem taking the open book mulitple choice test since I feel that I should know that material by now. However, I would rather no have yet another worry of a test (which I admit yours are hard even as a Laramie citizen my whole life).

Thanks for your time, Sincerely, Keileigh Stibitz

First of all I was very polite in the way I put it and I thought that maybe something else could be done. I got my opinion out there and I guess that is all the matters but I sent that on Wednesday, it is now two days later and still no response! UGH I hate him!
