I think in most cases you get whatever grade you earned. If we're talking university/college I'd be shocked if your professors were bumping it as they have strict academic integrity and professional guidelines to follow. If we're talking high school I'd still doubt it but it's at least feasible on a subconscious level that someone would do that.

I just kinda stumbled here while clicking around. I'm not blind but I am college have know a few professors and TAs. Most of the time they don't even look at the names on the papers or a TA is grading it and they don't super know the students. If you got an A you got an A. Don't psych yourself out. Keep working hard and you earn what you deserve. Happy Holidays :)

Most Tas and professors are way too overworked and usually just want to get through the grading portion as fast as possible, so rarely consider the circumstances of individual students when calculating final grades. Plus, the final grades are typically calculated automatically, so it would be pretty obvious if someone actually looked. (Source: have taught university classes before)

Who gives a shit either way?! What are you going to do with your degree, that’s the question you should really ask. You need to focus on forward thinking, not fall into a quagmire of self-doubt. That shit is useless
