Is having a bad teacher REALLY an excuse?

Sometimes the grade does still depend on the teacher.

I had a class last semester that I got a 3.0 in. We didn’t agree on the definition of “culture” so she gave me a 2.0 on a paper worth 1/4 of my grade. The whole class hated her and there were only 3 4.0s in the class and 2 3.5s. The rest were 3.0 and lower. Other sections of the same class had barely anyone get below a 3.5. It was such bull.

It’s one thing to have a bad instructor in an objective class, it’s entirely different to have it in a class where the grade is based on entirely subjective essays.
