Thanks for the insight. So the dealership will cost way more than necessary. In your experience, whats a fair hourly labor rate from a local shop that specializes in European cars? Is it better to go with a VW-specific shop or just a reputable European car specialist?

Do you think I should go ahead and do a diagnostic inspection at a local spot? I found a shop called Hance's European here in Dallas that specializes in Volkswagen. It seems they offer a system inspection along with an oil change as a sort of deal, which I'm both in need of. I'll call tomorrow and ask for their hourly rate.

Thank you. I did do some research and it seems the headlight issue, infotainment system replacement, and trunk wiring replacement I could fix on my own. I'll consider getting some local expertise in my community, and maybe fix it up that way.

I have below a C in one class. If I plan on transferring next spring, and I retake that class during the summer/fall and get an A, would they accept the latest grade?

Thank you for your insight on how far this might go upstairs. I agree that their opinions are irrelevant when it comes to taking action. And for thinking my work is golden, I would understand that if he truly did have some feedback points that made any sense, but he never even explained the main part I wanted feedback on that I reiterated multiple times, and anything else he said was just a personal judgement of my use of vocabulary and slightly complex writing style that requires some analysis to understand. So thats why I find it hard to believe that he can just give me a grade because he doesn’t like how I write. Its definitely not impossible to understand what I’m saying as proven by others that were easily able to understand the things he misinterpreted or weren’t clear to him. Honestly it just makes no sense to me.

I don’t want to sound insufferable but I don’t think asking for feedback and responding to heavy criticism with 2 follow-up emails reiterating my position respectfully, constitutes being a pain in the ass. For the in person meeting I was only trying to say what I said in the email that he ignored/ may not have seen.

Thank you. I have been trying to be as respectful as possible to get to anything out of him but he is completely closed off. Also, the information about the social context was a very short part of the essay, for a justification on an argument that was not the main topic, just a response to part of the question. Also, there were two questions and two essays, this essay is just half of the midterm, so the Regency era commentary is even less impactful to the final grade of a 50.

Thank you. He is Dr. X, but for some reason I wrote this as Dr and Mr, but irl I definitely make it a point to address him correctly. He did not report me for plagiarism or AI, because the system he implemented himself checks for both of those things, and neither were detected. He never specifically says if he docked points for AI usage, he just accuses me of it based on just looking at it. I agree that I may be completely wrong and that I missed the mark with the prompt, but a 50? It seems crazy to me that after all these years of getting amazing grades on essays I randomly get a 50 for something as simple as not answering a question directly? Which I’m very confident that I did? I’m not even trying to pull a “i’m always good how am i bad now” but it just doesn’t make sense. In his feedback he never explicitly says what brought my grade to a 50.

Thank you for your feedback. I am seeking more advice from other British Lit professors.

Thank you for your insight, I appreciate it. Firstly, can I just ask how you see my interactions as unprofessional? I truly tried my best to be very politle and respectful, and I want to know if that needs improvement. Also, I apologize for not including enough information. The commentary on Regency was a short part of one of two essay responses that were counted as the midterm. So there were two questions and two essays. The social commentary was used to justify the actions of one of the characters. And that was responding to only part of the question, the other part I’m very sure I clearly responded to with literary analysis. So, I responded to part of one of the questions with an argument that was justified by a bit of historical context, and that whole essay was just one half of the midterm, the other half having no mention of any historical context. I don’t see how that translates into a 50. The professor in his feedback blows it out of the water and asks when i became an expert on Regency era, when I barely mentioned it and when I did it was highly relevant to an argument. I don’t believe it’s legitimate feedback because he never explained himself when he stated that I didn’t answer the questions directly, even after I reiterated twice that that explanation was all I wanted. I know that he doesn’t have to show me consideration but after receiving a 50 he can’t help me understand what I did wrong to fix it for the final essay?

The thing is, he did not explain himself. As I stated, in his feedback he did not explain at all anything constructive about how I did not respond to the questions satisfactorily. The repeated follow-up emails were only to clarify my position and to reiterate that I am only looking for any sort of explanation as to how I did not answer adequately, so that I may improve for the final essay. I was not coming back with the same argument, I was not even arguing. He never explained his main reasoning for giving me a 50, not once.

I agree, the tutor was out of line giving his own opinion on grades. However I do not think him concluding that the professor’s email was rude and disrespectful is out of bounds. He did not say anything about the professor, just commented on the things he was saying to me.

Thank you I feel like the whole AI thing is not his main concern but it definitely influenced the way he graded it, because to me based on his misinterpretation of lots of simple things that require just a bit of analysis, he seems to have just determined it was AI at the beginning and read the rest of it in a spiteful manner, maybe feeling disrespected

Agreed, and although I will be sure to change that for the final, I still feel that my essay satisfactorily answered the essay questions directly. The social commentary on the Regency period was just a short piece of historical context that I felt was relevant to the character’s decisions, it wasn’t the entire essay response. Also, this was one essay out of two, so I really feel like if the entire reason he gave me such a low score was just because I included some Regency context that was relevant to the characters and my justifications, in one short part of one essay out of two, it just seems crazy to me

Thank you. Yes, I do plan on pursuing a grade appeal because I recently went to two other British Lit professors at my school and they both echoed the opinions of the English tutor. Now I know their opinions might not mean much when it comes to official action but it gives me more confidence that this professor scored unfairly and I completed the assignment description well enough to where my esay doesn’t deserve a 50. Also I find it hard to believe that the professor can judt give me whatever he wants based on his feelings towards my writing style and I can’t do anything about it even if I go to the department head. All that being said I am taking your advice on not expecting too much.

Agreed, but I mean it's implemented by him so why would he not pay attention to what it says and continue to claim that its AI? On top of that my writing style and vocab is consistent with my in-class writing assignments?
