My prof has been postponing grading my papers for WEEKS. She finally graded one this morning, and the paragraph she sent talking about my paper felt...suspicious. I got 88/100, and I am already a little upset because getting 12 points docked for sentence transitions not being as "smooth" as she'd like feels crazy...Especially cause I've taken 36 units worth of courses and never gotten anything below an A for an essay or paper (I am meticulous) and she's ONLY strict about essays, not other assignments that are shorter (but I guess that could make sense). But anyway, I'll copy and paste the paragraph. Tell me what you think. I got 80%-100% on 7 AI checkers.
"Your essay is very strong and clearly demonstrates a high level of critical thinking, especially in how you present both sides of the debate before taking a clear and well-supported position. You effectively introduce the issue, use key concepts like reality and value assumptions, and incorporate a wide range of credible sources such as Pew Research, BMC Public Health, and policy examples like Australia’s ban, which strengthens your argument significantly . Your opposition section is especially effective because you fairly present the benefits of social media, including connection and support, before carefully refuting them with specific evidence about cyberbullying, grooming, and mental health risks. Additionally, your use of real-world examples and statistics makes your argument more persuasive and grounded. To improve further, you could slightly refine sentence structure and transitions for smoother flow, and make your tone a bit more formal in certain areas to match an academic research paper. Overall, this is a well-researched, balanced, and persuasive essay that meets the assignment requirements and has strong potential for an A-level grade."
Also, when I put my essay through something like Gemini or ChatGPT, I get nearly the same "this has potential for an A grade with just a few more tweaks!"
Should I contact the school about this?
