<p>I signed up for this class thinking I'd have an easy, relaxed schedule, but I find myself not relaxed as I should be. I do all my readings, take good lecture notes, but I'm doing poorly on the essays. It seems my GSI is a rather harsh grader that doesn't like my style of writing. I get marked off for grammatical mistakes that I don't make, and I find my content at least good enough that I'm not supposed to be getting 50% for every essay. </p>
<p>Any tips?</p>
<p>Switch section?</p>
<p>Go to OH and ask the GSI why you get low scores. If you have a problem talk with the professor.</p>
<p>I can’t really switch section due to availability. I was coming to this class thinking it would be an easy A, but it seems not to be the case. Is there something I’m missing when I came into this class?</p>
<p>Wow 50%? That’s harsh…</p>
<p>grammar counts for points in a physics class?</p>
<p>is this real life?</p>
<p>That’s weird. You write well. Definitely set up an appointment with the GSI or professor.</p>
<p>What type of grammatical mistakes are being marked off?</p>
