Before I sent it in, I sent it to someone who has a Masters in English and they teach it themselves before I got graded. It came back as a D-. I made all the corrections my friend who has a Masters whom teaches English Compostion at the college level.

Once again, her feedback was "Cite every line". She knocked off TWENTY POINTS for failure to do that. MAking it a D-. If I get one more D from her I'll fail the entire course.

I talked to Sophia, and they completely defended her actions.

wow that's harsh

This is not my opinion, she was factually wrong. If this wasn't scored pass fail, I would never have let that go unchecked. In Comp II, I had a great experience. My grader throughout was hard but encouraging. He pushed me to write better. I would gladly take his feedback for any future writing projects. He was extremely helpful.

I do think they should give you the same grader throughout for consistency. Comp II was only one grader for me, which was much more helpful.

I actually did get the same grader twice one time. she was actually pretty reasonable with her criticisms. the other 2 weren't as...fair. one of the graders literally switched up my essay with another lady's and  i had to get that fixed. 
 i also agree with you on that they should give you the same grader! that just makes sense
