Grades depend on the professor you get.

For example, one professor this year just ripped apart my paper with opinions on how I should have reworded things.</p>

<p>I wrote in the same writing style with another professor, received an A, and he also suggested I do undergraduate research with him.</p>

<p>So people have different expectations.

</p>

<p>I agree completely. I’ve had this exact same experience. I have two incredibly hard grading teachers. One of them likes my writing style and only gives me advice on strengthening my arguments; the other hates it and instead of critiquing my argument, critiques only my word choice and phrasing. </p>

<p>It is frustrating when they require you to do something incredibly difficult/nearly impossible (that is, change your entire writing style, word choice and all) in order for you to get that coveted A, but sometimes you just come across professors like that.</p>

<p>I’m not naive enough to believe that I can get through college–especially my college–without taking a few blows from professors like that. You just need to accept that sometimes you’ll get a professor that’s like this. Learning and getting the degree. Those are the important things.</p>
