I found this paper was harshly marked for a second year paper. There was no feedback to understand why I received the grade I did. Also I believed the 10% late penalty would be applied to the grade you received, not out of the 30. This could impact ones grade by almost 5%.
The topic of my paper was questioned even though it was clearly outlined as an option in the assignment guidelines. Also confused about the rubric as areas were not clearly marked as being required in the paper (i.e. methodology of studies). I was docked many marks for this reason. Thanks, Jill!
inadequate feedback, failure to respond to questions relating to paper, won't discuss paper till after drop date, being a fifth year student and having written multiple papers before this i've never seen a situation like this being completely ignored
Marks were taken off a bit arbitrarily. They were deducted for citations, yet I used the outline for APA provided by the school's library website. Moreover, my topic was criticized for being too medical, yet I used a given topic pertaining to the health of a group.
There was no rubric in the assignments section and I lost marks for silly things like not having a title page??!!! Even though it wasn't asked for. What a joke!!!!
I worked very hard on this paper. I even handed it in later knowing the late mark penalty just to have more time to add more relevant content.
I feel that my mark wasn't justified properly as I thought I did quite well on it. Also the marking system is a little off.

I shouldn't have to submit a paragraph to explain why I believe my paper was graded unfairly. I am spending thousands of dollars each year to attend this university. If I feel my paper was marked unfairly, you should be willing to meet with me no questions asked. The marks deducted from my paper were absurd and I'm extremely unhappy about it.
