    Did anybody else get dinged for not putting the names of the producers of frontline on the citation?

    Still no grades yet for my section. For people who did get your grade back were you happy with your assignment grade? No one is really reporting how thoroughly they graded it. Did they just look at references...or did they critique care plan at all?
    It would be nice to know for future classes.

    Not one stinkin comment about the actual paper content.....all that work. My TA misunderstood my citation so I had to email her to prove I was correct. Otherwise, no real critique.

    I got dinged 8.5/10 for format. Apparently some spacing issues mid paper. My copy appeared fine. 10/15 for client needs. I was a bit confused on this part, so not overly upset that I didn't cover all bases on this end. My TA graded hard, but fair. She definitely isn't 1 that would skim over stuff. I know another TA would have given me a 100% on my paper, but she thought it was 92.77% worthy. Nonetheless, I got an A in the class, so I'm happy.

    Actually, I put the names of the producers in my citation, but the TA said the correct citation should have been like this (I forget the writer/producer names, so I'm making some up):

    Smith, A.B. (writer) and Jones, A.B. (writer)...

    I had put (writer/producer) in the parentheses because they were both. At any rate, my TA didn't mark off for the citation...I saw so may different versions of that citation. I even looked at the APA handbook and couldn't figure out anything definitive, so I did the best I could.

    I received NOT ONE comment on my paper. I did get comments in general however. I get the feeling she did just fly through it to get the grading done. Fine with me! Some TAs are so tough...I've had 'em. Others are more humane, lol!

    I ended up with a 99.44 on my paper (isn't the .44 hilarious?) I got dinged for not putting a "retrieved from" on one of my references....even though it's a journal article so I didn't think I needed to. Oh well, I'm so thoroughly done. I do kind of wish I had a little more feedback on the body of the paper (no comments at all from the TA), but I guess I shouldn't expect a pat on the back...LOL. I kept an A overall, so I'll take it and run.

    Only thing I got dinged for was - the TA didn't like my goals - asked are they measurable? Measurable enough for me .. LOL. Ended up with at 97.54 on the paper - not going to complain. Got a 100% on DB - and must have done my reference correctly.

    Has everyone gotten their grades for this course? I've only gotten my paper graded so far. I was curious how they graded the quiz and if they curved it like the last couple. So happy for this class to be over but I would like to just have my grades so I can mentally move on from this one...
