Grading
Im in my first semester of health science and have been given 2 grades that dont make any sense to me. Both written assigments. Firstly the feedback is non existant, is there anything I can do about that? I would love to understand where I have actually gone wrong with to start with. And secondly, I help a classmate out a fair bit that struggles with formal writing, so I of course read their assessments aswell. Both times they have been marked higher than me for reasons I cannot understand. They do not have good scentence structure and often have too many ideas going on and dont go into much depth. (all of which is needed as per marking schedule) I struggle to understand how they are consistantly marked higher than me? Its so disheartening putting in so many hours, making sure ive followed the marking schedule to a T and then getting marked less than someone who struggles with formal writing (not trying to be nasty about it, everybody finds different things easier/harder) I had top marks all through college. I understand things get harder etc and maybe i am going wrong somewhere but with no feedback how am i supposed to know?
Is there anything I can do? Is challenging a grade going to help me gain clarity?
thanks
