In my Intro to Computers class we had guest speakers. One speaker/professor was in charge of statistics. Many of the first year CS students left the class. He stopped the 10th one asking where he thought he was going? The student said he had better things to do. This enraged the professor who went on a loud rant about how this really is important and we were awful for not paying attention. He then stormed out. A week later the usual class professor emailed all of saying we had to study the topic on our own since half the class had walked out. I emailed her and the rest of the class that if any of his topic were on the test I would make sure they both were fired at least reprimanded. By the offended professors own words, half the class was still there and interested in the topic. Basically, he walked out on us. His topic was not on the final.

Sounds like the professor was crappy. I'd have said "very well then, have a nice day." Then, at the end of the class, I'd pass around a piece of paper and tell everyone left to write their name on it. We'll call it the "I'm not a douchebag exam." Everyone present would get a 100, everyone else would get a 0. And then I'd still have that content on the "real" exam.

  The next class session someone suggested that we should have signed a paper proving we were there after he left. Hindsight.

Really sad story. The professor, of course, should not have walked out, what should have happened instead he should have continued teaching (even if only one student remained in class) and then have as much as possible of these topics on the test. And when people that walked out failed the course they'd have to consider if they want to retake it, this time properly, of choose something else instead.
