It's an "A". The point is that her 10 page handwritten work was going to be disregarded because the teacher forgot to enter her grade in his gradebook.
I'm not finished with this guy. Every two or three weeks there is a huge project like this one. He will typically grade one or two papers himself (always very harshly). The rest of the papers are graded by a TA (senior). The TA graded papers all get 100% regardless of the quality of work. Some students don't go through all the work and just submit cursory answers and still get 100% from the TA. The few "unlucky" kids who have the teacher grade their papers get hit hard. My daughter was one of the unfortunate ones a few weeks ago. I looked at her paper and I was inpressed with the quality and clarity of her work. She made a few errors to be sure, but the overall quality and completeness of the work was impressive. It was clear she understood the material. She got a "D" on that assignment.
I have no problem with tough standards, but I think they must be uniform. The teacher and I are going to have a philosophical discussion on proper educational standards.
