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