You get marked for how you respond to other people's work

It wasn't listening, they done it in the hall. It's basically written coursework which you have to speak because the course changes next year so we don't do speaking and listening or something like that.

Was it coursework or was it an exam? You called it coursework yet you describe what sounds like an exam...

It was coursework which had to be said to her but when you weren't saying yours you didn't have to listen. It was meant to be written but were speaking it for some reason.

She should have told you of the consequences before the examination began. She also shouldn't have left you alone in the room without supervision.
She took it in her own accord to leave the room, however, no one should talk in an examination but she would know herself that if she left the room someone would start talking everyone does. Also, I don't think it was fair that the whole class got deducted points, something like that could decide whever you get a D or a C and could have consequences on you in the future.

So overall, even though it was wrong to speak during the exam, she shouldn't have left the room.

However, with coursework, why weren't you allowed to speak? I know it's still wrong to speak when someone is reading but she shouldn't threaten you with points deducation.
