I have recently got back my criminal law essay coursework. The mark on it is 45%, and the all the marking criteria ticks indicate a solid 2.1 (60-69%). The comments on feedback were good as well. I have been trying to get hold of the person who marked my essay since the 25th March, but without success. I have called the professor, he didn't answer, and I have sent him many emails as a reminder. I have tried getting hold of my law school but they said the mark is the final mark. This is very frustrating as it is obvious there was a mistake with the mark, it should be 65% and not 45%!
Should I just give up and leave it at that? I have a feeling my school doesn't care, and are avoiding a scandal by admitting that the markers do a very poor job and don't double check their work. I was told ym essay was double marked. If it was, how come they didn't spot the flagrant error in the mark??
