Right, that's the approach I tried after my first midterm (because I also received an unfounded grade on that test). So I thought that approach would work for the second midterm, but considering I scored worse on this test it obviously didn't.

And for the record, having a TA grade a professor's ESSAY TESTS based on his lectures is laughable at best. If it were a multiple choice or even short answer test, I could see it, but an essay test?

So a TA is grading your essay's, which are arguments based on your professor's lectures? How the fuck does that work without bias overwhelming any kind of honest quantatative evaluation?
Exactly. The professor lectures and writes the prompts for the essay midterms. He presents 3 essays and we have to write on one. So basically, the TA is judging the merit of the professor's prompts and our answers to the prompts. It's really ridiculous.
