Wow, reading this makes me really appreciate that I've never had a grading issue that couldn't be resolved by talking directly to the professor. The only serious issue I did have was an English instructor who refused to believe that I wrote a paper myself. It was the first assignment of the semester and I spent a lot of time on it. I invited her to run the paper through anti-plagiarism software, which she deeemed "unnecessary." The situation was ultimately resolved when (upon my request) I submitted a second writing sample penned while she watched. We had no other issues and I aced the course. I will say that it sucks to feel you've been unfairly treated by the teacher, especially when you're both adults!
