Pols 1100

WHY!!!! I just don't get how I can research and read stuff for my Pols 1100 take home test, write 4 pages and still get a 73%. It was a freaking good essay too! Both of my essays got -12 because they need more specifics, details, and explanation. I get docked points for not having enough detail. Seriously dude. If I answered the question and have a fairly good response then why don't you give me more than half credit? I really think the only way to get a better score would be for me to write the essay and then just fill it in with a bunch of bs and see if i get a better score. I think I'm going to do the rewrites and try it. Only because it wont hurt and if it helps my grade FANTASTIC! Anyone out there a Political science major, or even if you know a lot about politics. I need your help!
