I'm genuinely shocked and need some outside perspective. I spent weeks on this paper. I followed the outline, I used peer-reviewed sources, I thought my argument was solid. I was expecting at least a B+. But my professor's comments say my 'analysis was superficial' and my 'conclusion didn't connect to the broader significance.' I feel like I wrote a completely different paper than the one she read.
Has anyone else experienced this massive gap between your own perception of your work and the professor's? I'm going to office hours next week, but I'm dreading it. How do you even respond to feedback that makes you feel like you failed at basic critical thinking?
