Problems estimating/knowing who is "right"

Post Reply New Topic

I currently have to do my Bachelor project, which involves writing some reports which will be graded referring to certain grading schemes. I find it very hard to estimate the quality of my work, and to guess how my tutor will grade it. Sometimes I feel like I'm doing well, sometimes I think I have done far too little work and panic. I was always confused by grading systems and marks, because a lot of the time they are so vague and it really depends on the personal opinion of whoever is doing it. Add confusing expressions and vague advice in the project handbook we're supposed to reference and I really don't know what is expected of me. Additionally, I have a tutor with a short temper and a very cynical personality who makes me feel like an idiot whenever I have to ask something twice. And even then I won't get a helpful answer. It's all just "it depends".

I just can't estimate what would be expected and making sense in a special situation.

Also, another thing: I always found it impossible to find out who is wrong or right in an argument. Like, when I'm arguing with someone - am I right? Or am I the wrong one? Am I too sensitive, is the other person too strict? I honestly can't tell. I'm always uncertain. I can't complain to anyone because I'm never sure whether they're actually wrong.

Is this "normal" for AS?

Sounds like you need a new tutor. As far as being right or wrong look to the facts. Facts never change if they do they were never a fact to begin with.

There are 63.18 million people living in the UK at the moment. As soon as that changes, does that mean that there were never 63.18m people living here?
