Sophia.org English Composition II -- Grader Experiences

[MadisonSylura]

So. I spent over a week working on my next essay. Before I sent it in, I sent it to someone who has a Masters in English and they teach it themselves before I got graded. It came back as a D-. I made all the corrections my friend who has a Masters whom teaches English Compostion at the college level.

Once again, her feedback was "Cite every line". She knocked off TWENTY POINTS for failure to do that. MAking it a D-. If I get one more D from her I'll fail the entire course.

I talked to Sophia, and they completely defended her actions.

wow that's harsh

I had one bad grader in Comp I. She was just flat out wrong on her comment and trashed my score for something that wasn't even in my paper. This is not my opinion, she was factually wrong. If this wasn't scored pass fail, I would never have let that go unchecked. In Comp II, I had a great experience. My grader throughout was hard but encouraging. He pushed me to write better. I would gladly take his feedback for any future writing projects. He was extremely helpful.

I do think they should give you the same grader throughout for consistency. Comp II was only one grader for me, which was much more helpful.

I actually did get the same grader twice one time. she was actually pretty reasonable with her criticisms. the other 2 weren't as...fair. one of the graders literally switched up my essay with another lady's and  i had to get that fixed. 
 i also agree with you on that they should give you the same grader! that just makes sense
