<p>We had to write a paper in French about a perfect student. I am currently in French II Honors, and I wanted to do well on the paper to boost my average in the class. I had a girl in French IV edit the paper before I went to Office Hours to have my teacher edit it. I got my corrections and turned in the final paper, with all the mistakes corrected.
Well, I just got my paper back and I had received a B+. On the paper were corrections that had not been suggested when I saw my teacher. Is it fair that she took off for what she did not correct in Office Hours? Am I just being paranoid? How should I approach this?</p>
<p>It depends. After your teacher saw the paper did you add to it, or just make corrections?</p>
<p>Honestly the responsibility is yours, not the teacher's, to ensure that the assignments you turn in are correct. Professors aren't going to scrutinize your papers bit by bit beforehand to make sure you get everything right, so be prepared for that once you graduate high school. Although my experience with college classes has been mainly within the sciences and mathematics rather than linguistics, I can still tell yo that they are in no way obligated to give your paper a full edit and guarantee of a perfect score before you turn it in. That's your responsibility.</p>
<p>I will admit that if she told you the paper was 100% correct when it wasn't would be quite rude, although that's hardly grounds to contest the grade, if that's what you're asking.</p>
