When I was in College I usually told my professor the first day of class I had epilepsy and might have a seizure in their class. Then I explained to them what would happen and what I would do during the seizure if I was to have a seizure in their class so they would know what to expect and not panic and call an ambulance. None of my professors understood epilepsy or seizures so by telling them the first day of class I was basically teaching them about the condition.

Fortunately Or unfortunately I tell everyone teachers, coworkers, exercise instructors just so they know and I also fill them in on the first aid. Also give them an idea of what it will look like. I over share.

Your professor may or may not know or understand about your epilepsy.. Maybe she has a family member or friend who may have it ,or not. The most important thing is that she is noticing an abnormal ( but normal for us ) activity with you. She is aking you those questions to make sure your understanding about the video or what ever the subject may be.. I don't know if you have auras ,but if you yourself aren't aware or know when your seizuring , you professor is aware of it . She just may not be sure what it is. At the same time, she is letting you know that something is going on with you too.

Maybe you should alert her that you do have Epilepsy and that what she is seeing is some type of seizure. It can help her understand what's going on with you. Don't think of this negative, but positive. Your getting her attention , even though your not trying. You could be making her worried a little.

Compare your situation to mine . When I was in high school , it was the last class period. I was in Study Hall sitting towards the front of the room trying to catch up on some homework. Keep in mind I myself don't have any auras ,what so ever. So I'm never know when I'm having a seizure. Anyway back to my story. I'm at my desk staying quiet ( so I thought ) and catching on my homework. The next thing the reacher speaks to me, telling me to be quiet. I have no clue what I said or did. So I go back to what I was doing. Shortly later she gets my attention again, and tells me to stop what ever I'm doing and that this is my last warning. Still I'm clueless what I did. I go back to my paperwork. Then shortly later, the teacher signals me to her desk and hands me a Pink Slip for Detention and sends me to the principal's office.

For many yrs. This incident was stuck in my head and I still think about it now and then. Later down the road , only one thing made sense. I was having seizures in the class nor did the teacher know about my epilepsy. She thought I was goofing off. That was my first time in detention. I was a goody- goody and tried staying away from trouble. But trouble found me from my seizuring.

Hope this helped

I went to a lot of Colleges. They understood my Learning Disability was Math. I was able to get an AA in Liberal Arts from Hartford College for Women. I went to Western CT State College, but they would not let me graduate. They felt there were too many qualified candidates, I would not get a job. I could not do Special Education because I needed Statistics. Eventually I got a degree in General Studies from UConn in Stamford. They let me graduate without Math also.
When I was at Western CT State, I tried to see all Teachers would be familiar with Epilepsy. I was diagnosed at 7. the teacher thought I was not paying attention to her deliberately. My parents knew I would not do that, so my parents had me tested at Yale.

These times, teachers and professors are more prepared to spot seizures. If it's anywhere in your records, they will be a watch for it. I went through high school avoiding anyone but my close friends to know about it. But it also got me kicked out of college. But that was my fault for being so stubborn as to not take my med regularly, following a grand mal one night. That was in the 70's, and they have wisened up a lot since then. The institution can be liable if something were to happen. Since then, I went through life taking jobs that I can learn as I go, instead of doing the profession I could have learned through college. I kick myself every once in a while for being so pig headed back then. But, live and learn. Never be afraid to let others know about your Epilepsy, because in the stress of trying to hide it, it can also put you in a situation you won't want to be in. Be proud to show you don't let seizures stop you.
