Answer: I had a similar problem during my first Master's Degree. I have straight A's for it, except for one C, in an "elective." There was a professor who didn't give us information on how we were doing until the day before the official allowable withdrawl date, then encouraged us to re-write our test and gave out better grades for it rather than withdraw. However, he had a thing against people from my particular major, and after stringing us along gave me (oh joy) the highest grade from my department.... a C. The other students got D's and F's. However, people giving similar responses from other departments got A's and B's. After this, my department changed it's recommended electives for my type of degree to a similar course taught elsewhere. My department head, after reviewing my situation, accepted the course for the elective credit needed toward my degree (the policy for a Master's level was an A or B only) so that I could just move on and not worry about it. I still feel awfully annoyed, though.\n\nIf you have copies of your work, and your professor's comments on them, take it to your department head or college dean, and ask them to look into the situation.
