tough grader!

[Christ_empowered]

I've pretty much switched my major to History (not offically, but...yeah..don't wanna do psychology, for a number of reasons...). I'm in the required Government class. Its a 200-level class.

So, every class at Liberty has required discussion boards. Some way them more heavily than others. You post a reply to a prompt, then respond to 2 other peoples' threads. Usually, I do quite well.

This instructor weighs DB HEAVILY. 100 points for the initial post, 50 for the responses. I made...65...on my thread. I was and am taken aback.

OH, oh, oh, what a blow to my ego. Apparently, it was well-written and she "enjoyed reading it," but I didn't reflect on the course as a whole. I had 250 words to analyze and discuss an article that was either liberal or conservative in outlook. I did conservative, on that Indiana law.

I'm...recovering, lol. I guess next time I'll ignore the 250 word count suggestion. I mean, she'll probably take off-seems like the type, anyway--but probably not 30 points (!!!).

Ugh. And yet...I'm glad. Part of earning a degree is learning to "jump through hoops" and also honing your skills and abilities.

Anybody else dealt with/dealing with tough graders?

I had a professor that was a tough grader in my philosophy class. The professor was actually the religious studies professor and was filling in for the philosophy instructor while the school found a new one. The class was tough because the instructor refused to cover naturalist philosophy but still administered tests on the subject. So needless to say the class performed poorly on the naturalist perspectives, but were graded the same whether or not any of the material was breached in class. Man I'm glad I'm done with college.
