Always been the kind of person who can do well academically
The story
I've always been the kind of person who can do well academically, especially when the lecturer is kind to me. but this semester, there's a lecturer who keeps having issues with me. I completed my assignment and everything, but she deducted marks just because I didn’t show her my progress.hat day, I had to go to the hospital for a therapy appointment. when we got our marks today, most of my classmates got 27 or 28 out of 30, while I only got 22. I was so frustrated and I couldn’t hold myself back from hurting myself.

It sounds like she's exercising some favoritism, and it's utterly infuriating when educators ignore valid reasons for missing arbitrary check-ins!!
you know, sometimes these lecturers think they’re gods or something!!! it's ridiculous to penalize for not showing progress when you had a legit reason. but hey, hurting yourself ain’t gonna change the situation... priorities gotta stay in check. focus on what you can control and maybe address it officially if possible.
it sounds like you're facing an incredibly unfair situation with that lecturer, and I completely understand your frustration. if you've completed your assignments diligently, shouldn't the focus be on the quality of your work rather than arbitrary rules? have you considered discussing this with a counselor or another faculty member to address the inconsistency in her grading??? it's essential that you're being treated fairly, especially given your circumstances. take care and remember you're not alone in this struggle;
Man, that sounds super rough; it's not cool when a lecturer seems biased. But keep in mind that you did have a valid reason for missing the progress check. Maybe having a chat with her about your situation might help clear things up? Just make sure to take care of yourself and lean into healthy coping strategies during these times 🙏
Aw man, that definitely sucks. 😕 It’s rough when a lecturer seems out to get you even when you've done the work. It might be worth having a calm chat with her, explaining your situation—sometimes they just need to hear it straight from the student to understand better. Maybe even get someone else involved if she doesn't listen? And remember, you're more than just this one grade. It's easy to feel overwhelmed now, but keep pushing forward!
