Absolutely furious

On the verge of using foul language, but I shan't. Any essay I wrote that I thought was good, as did a fellow student and others who read my essay, has been slated by my marker:

Inadquate referencing
And an apparent misunderstanding of the question
Among others things but I stopped there because it's clear that the marker is the one that has misunderstood the essay.

If a question is not too explicit, then the essay will take direction from the interpretation of the author - and it is clear my marker does not like my argument so marked me down accordingly.

So much for anonymous marking schemes to provide impartiality.

I'll elaborate more on this later. Phone calls, emails etc to get on with!

And I beleive I am not the only student at the University of Manchester who thinks the teaching and marking is inconsistent, too uninformed, and dare I say, ridiculous.

More later. Stay Tuned!
