I had a similar happening when I was working on my master's degree. Most of the students just did not seem to take a class seriously. An assignment was due and on the due date I was the only student who was prepared and handed in the assignment.
I few weeks later I had a tragedy happen in my family. The car my son was driving hit a post, blew a tire and rolled. A young girl was killed in the freakish accident. The final class was just two or three days later. I was still shaking with grief and shock. Each person handed in their final project. when the teacher got to mine she quietly said, "I don't need to check your work. I know it is well done. You have already proven that to me."
She kindly paid me back for respecting the class and teacher enough to have my lessons done.
