Please feel free to tell me to shut up and go away.....

A few years ago I was a passenger in a Cessna 310 where the student was being taught engine failures. One of the things that was being done was to "fail" an engine without the student knowing which one it was, in order that they should correct the aircraft accordingly. So at glasgow despite hearing a bang from the wrong engine, would the aircraft not begin to yaw etc on the side which had in fact failed? Or did the bad engine fail gradually here so there was no sudden effect? Or did the pilot have no option but feather the "good" prop beacause the bang appeared to come from that side indicating a definite problem there. Could somebody please explain to me a bit of what happens here.

It is in not my intension to offend or upset anyone after what was undoubtedly a tragic accident. I just want to learn/understand.
