Grading essays...

super frustrated with some essay grades I have received this term. Its frustrating that we have a 2 page limit to discuss a broad topic and will lose marks by going over by a few sentences, only to receive grading feedback that says expand, explain more etc. when there is no way to cover all the rubric requirements without cutting some stuff!!! I had friends and family look over my work and I got good feedback but of course I cannot explain in more depth with a 2 page, double spaced limit...

Then I get the same marker who says the exact same thing which is only "expand, explain" like I WISH I could...

There is also a note she put that I needed to clarify the research sample by adding age and gender and then in the next paragraph I do cover those things exactly!!! like why am I losing marks if the info is there? is she not reading it?

I low key want to reach out to my prof and ask. I get that they have a lot of papers and tests to mark but how is this person qualified to grade our papers and now notice that the issue they mention is solved????

everything else she commented was good so because of those two issues I get 76?? Its so frustrating.

sorry, rant over.
