Another teacher, I'm guessing you don't know who?
My teacher wouldn't tell us... But I know who wrote it (not posting his name here though)
So basically, he's in the top of your Cohort, when his essay is no better than any of the others?
Crossmarking anyone?
There is cross-marking, but it is only an average, so he will still have a higher score that everyone else. Most of the other teachers marked much more harshly, giving most of their class Cs to Bs. In most classes there was only 1 or 2 As (and no A+s). I don't where this teacher pulled this essay from and gave it an A+, especially when my teacher said to us that he would give it a B at most...

(and I'm not judging his essay his essay btw, I'm just going on what my teacher told us in class today, and seeing as though he taught a 50 last year, he knows his stuff)
