I'm taking Orgo in the summer and my professor assumed people cheated....

-We had a quiz (30 points, 2 different versions).
-On one of the questions I put down the answer to the question on the other quiz, thinking I had the right answer. I have an explanation why I put this.
-He said anyone who put the answer to the other quiz version automatically gets a 0 on the quiz (question was worth 5 points, and i was suppose to get a 25/30).

Every point in this class counts, but he does drop the lowest quiz grade.

1. I had no one sitting around me, so no way I can look at someone else paper.
2. I have an explanation why my answer was my answer, even though it was wrong.

Do I email him about this? Go to his office hours and talk in person? Or take the L and try to get the points back on our next and last quiz?

Did you really need to create a damn thread on Niketalk about this? Use your damn common sense and go talk to your prof during office hours...

I was thinking the same thing. 
Can you explain that OP...I'm pretty sure your professor is going to ask too. Why didn't you just ace the quiz if you could have??
