HATE

Hate hate hate hate hate objective grading. It's like they search and find something wrong, that wasn't listed as something required, just so they can take off points. I did everything in the assignment, answered all of the questions and I got a 4/5 because my topic is too broad.

Well that wasn't part of the assignment, the assignment was to basically answer a bunch of questions about the topic seeing where they lead to help identify problems such as that.

I responded to his grading pointing out that the thing he took points off for wasn't in the assignment description.

Yes it's one point, but these 'little' things add up and I really want to make it clear very early that this isn't ok. Taking points off just to take them off pisses me off to no end. We'll see what he has to say.
