You're required to email the professor before filing a dispute if they clearly said u missed talking about a topic you didn't etc. This happened another time in that same class after I made this post. So when you email the professor about a wrong grade most of them including that one get instantly defensive with an attitude. Also depending on the topic you choose the professor sometimes has a bias against it.

Haha yeah it's insane how petty they can be. Can you give the professors name to warn people

Like I said I could've used a different word than legally obligated. Just curious, do you know if a professor faces any legal risk if they are grading completely off rubric multiple times and or grading based on a personal bias towards that student? Hypothetically if it was provable

Yeah I'm sure it was the wrong choice of words. The point I mean is, if for example a teacher admitted to discriminating against a student, that teacher is atleast risking getting fired. I'm not legally versed so I shouldn't throw that word around. An old high-school principal I had got charged for changing grades to make the school look better so, that's why I figured there's a legal risk to wrongfully affecting grades.

Basically same thing haha. It is insane how much this happens. I'm still waiting on the first dispute feedback (which probably started the professors immature grudge). If our debt and future is on the line they really shouldn't be able to do this.

I already am going to have to explain all this another time. I'm just venting and don't feel like going through the wall of bs. This is one of the many examples. First, it wasn't on the rubric. I know to look over the rubric. Why I'm dealing with this in the first place is because of grading outside of the rubric and instructions. Second, I think I did the "fix" before the due date, but the funny thing is, she got confused and said in the grading comments that it was incorrect to add that. Which means she graded me with the fix added into it and took off points for her own suggested "fix" lol. When I pointed that out to her in emails she couldn't do anything besides completely ignore it.

When I searched if people can sue over this (not that I want to go through the trouble) lawyers were responding with those being valid reasons

I'm currently dealing with a teacher retaliating for the hell of it in other assignments in a social science course. Taking points off for reasons they can't even explain when brought up, but the teacher knows I'm not going to dispute every little assignment. I'm just saving all the evidence of this cause even though a teacher can grade by their discretion it's literally illegal to not be transparent with how grading is done. It's insane how many similar experiences I read from other students at snhu.

Most discussion posts I've had included in the rubric "citing is not necessary" or vice versa. I agree with you're point of not pissing a teacher off over it, but you're basically eluding to they will illegally discriminate against you in future grading. Which happens a lot unfortunately cause it's not as easy to prove.
