DirectingOne

This semester I was super excited to take a directing class. I've always felt that I had a good grasp of blocking. I spent time in middle and high school blocking my own scenes and blocking for region and state and I've always felt that I have good instincts. So I was really looking forward to actually taking a directing class and learning more about making pictures and varrying pathways and creating interesting blocking. 

But this class did not turn out to be that.

Instead, I had a professor who was insanely busy and gone for half of the semester. I had a professor who put our class on the back butner. We had one--count it! one--directing assignment that was somehow dragged out through the whole semester. We were assigned to a group (3 members total) and each of us directed one 2-4 minute scene. And somehow, getting through all of those took the whole semester. And now my final is directing a 10 minute play. And I will be graded on how I directed this play. 

Now tell me, 
How am i supposed to feel prepared for this final?
How is he supposed to grade me fairly based on the one directing experience I've technically had in his class?
