quod me nutrit me destruit

I lied.

I was so peeved about it, I couldn't sleep last night.

I thought more about it, spent 1hour poring over the comments and realised that while I certainly DO NOT deserve a fantastic mark (Another HD+ is out of the question), I certainly do not deserve a P.

I'll admit to many of the points she made (sloppy referencing, bad formatting due to printers) but she didn't realise what I was trying to do, or understand that we had based our entire assignments on a TEMPLATE. (which the lecturer wanted)

I also undestand that I OBVIOUSLY didn't make my case clear if an outside marker could not understand my paper. HOWEVER. She was pretty punitive to the point of being ridiculous in some areas like

"In order to understand the branding of Tourism Queensland, one must first acquaint oneself with the idea of destination branding" <--- WHY?

well, because Tourism Queensland is a destination! I reckon that's pretty self-explanatory and to explain it would be an insult to the reader AND take up more precious word count.

ALSO

she did not see my presentation. While the rest of my class did one aspect of the book, and made recommendations based on it, I did that aspect to BUILD a second aspect of the book from scratch, and it was this 2nd aspect that she labeled (and that's an entire third of my paper) "IRRELEVANT"

Holy cow. I'm getting more and more and more peeved.

I'm asking for a re-mark. I'll take my chances since I can't possibly score any lower than a P can I.

p/s did I mention that the HD+ subject and the P subject are both taught by the SAME LECTURER????????
