Xian Li's blog #6
In general, the grading system does provide an easy way to get an idea of how well a student works in his/her study. However, unfair grading often happens which degrades the confidence of the grading itself. Some teachers have personal bias on a student and keep the bias when they are giving grade to the student. Actually, I remember that when I was in elementary school and really not good at painting. My painting teacher thought it was because I did not work hard in her course and always gave me very low scores on my home assignments. One day, I asked my classmate who was very good at painting to help me draw a profile as the new home assignment, (I know it is cheating now:) ), and I turned it to the teacher. Finally, I get a very low score again. She pointed out lots of problems in the profile and said "I do think you have paid no effort on the painting course". From that time, I totally lost the interest in this course and felt very depressed. Grading is a really subjective thing and I think all the teachers should respect their authority and profession especially when giving grades to the students.

I have some kind of this experience too. Teacher always will give a higer grade to the student who they like. Different teacher have their different favorite type of student. Even though we all know this is unfair and non-resonable, but nothing we can change. Everytime when my class was taught by this kind of teacher,I will always try to pretend that teacher's favorite type student. However, if it didn't work, then the only thing i can do is comfort myself in my mind -- 'Teacher is a human, it just a paid job. Don't have too much expectation on them".
( note: This world basicly is unfair, what we can do is just try to find a parallel point.)
