I've always gotten full credit on research papers and on essays throughout high school and college years. Now that I'm a university student, it feels a bit weird to have 1 point taken off. I mean, just gimme that point! Dammit.
Though I did have some teachers in high school before who took off 1 point "just for the sake of taking off points even though this essay is remarkable" Because they said "I don't believe in giving anyone full credit".
Yeah right. Destroy our grades by deducting points off of a completely fine paper just so that you could teach us wisdom and let us know "no one is perfect ".
This is abuse of the student's grades.
My professor didn't even leave me any critical comments so that I know where to improve next time. All she wrote was " Amazing paper! "
Well, if it WAS this perfect and amazing, could've given me either a constructive criticism or those full 200 points.
Removing 1 point off just because you believe no one is perfect when the paper absolutely meets all the requirements stated on the rubric and it excels, is simply ridiculous. Do they have any idea how much that single point means to students and their grades??
Or maybe my essays were never all this great and these teachers/professors gave me fake grades just to boost my ego/self-esteem.
Maybe I never really excel at research or writing in the first place.
This is all a lie. They probably write the generic "Amazing Paper!" to all other students or never really took time to grade them.
Or perhaps I don't deserve as much as I was rewarded.
That's basically what life is hinting to me. All my family and friends who claim that I'm an amazing writer probably said so to boost my ego.
Perhaps I only got a participation grade and my essays are one of the average student ones.
Anyhow. That's just my short rambling.
I feel quite disappointed. I absolutely need to work on my writing skills.

You should ask these professors what they are playing at.
