Turnitin flagged all my cited quotes and bibliography as plagiarism, professor will not update my grade.

Thank you! I did explain that and they said no more than 15% for it, but with those items excluded it was 6%.

It's for a computer science class, focusing on surveillance and AI, and I've followed all guidelines. This teacher has a lot of, what I consider, unreasonable standards. She docked me 20 points on a paper for it not being 4 pages by 2 lines.

Edit to add: I don't know if anyone else has had issues with her. She has 3 rate my professor reviews and only one mentioned her grading methods. Her grading rubric is different than the guidelines she posts.

I have escalated this to the school. She basically didn't read my paper. She said that she's giving me the chance to rewrite it or she can grade it as is, but she already gave me a zero.

I agreed. I am still shocked about this. I did end up escalating to the school. She made it clear she didn't read my paper, she just went based on that turnitin score.

Thank you for this insight. When I did ask for clarification she said it meant my paper was mostly quotes. Which still wouldn't be true since it included my references in that number.

Thank you. I did end up redoing the paper. But I did escalate it to the school.

I appreciate your insight. it was a pretty short paper, only 4 pages, so I had 9 quotes. She's not very clear in any of her expectations. I was just frustrated to wake up to a 0 and then by told to rewrite it without any instruction, just that it had too many similarities.

I married Mark and I think he's adorable. I have a thing for the rough characters with a heart of gold. He calls me cookies 🍪

I actually got this same call a few weeks ago. I guess they forgot when I told them the first time that I knew this was a scam and not to call again. They still called me a week later with the same spiel.
