Learning Plan Disappointment
Yesterday after discussing the Jonah Creighton Case Study, Professor Powley handed back the Learning Plan part I to us. Most everyone in the class got a bad grade. This makes no sense. The paper is about ourselve and we have someone grading our writing about ourself and telling us that its not good enough. Tracy Messer tried to tell the class that the bad grades were because of a lack of creativity. That doesn't even make sense for this paper. The items and topics that were to be discussed in the paper don't require creativity, they are factual topics and opinions about ourselves. Another thing is that both the professor and Tracey were trying to say that its ok because this part is not worth that many points. This is clearly not the issue to me. This paper, like the professor and Tracey stated over and over, was to be a ROUGH DRAFT for the final paper due at the end of the semester. They clearly did not grade this paper as a rough draft. Most everyone got that I have talked with are extremely mad about their grade. Getting a 5's and 6's out of 8 on a paper about ourselves is going to make anyone mad. Overall I am extremely disappointed with the grading of this paper and I hope, for the sack of next semester, that more information about this paper is given to the students so that they can actually write a paper that may be satisfactory to these graders.
