But it kind of makes it worse since it's saying to be paranoid cause they could still be out to get you lol unless it's an error and it's meant to say "PARANOIA -- just because you're paranoid ... doesn't mean they are out to get you" I get what you're saying though. | |

Although they have the two essays, they can't really prove the professor deducted marks off the essay to make it more fair to other students, or if there was another revised/new essay submission of mine at the time that their negligence caused them to misplace and would show that the professor isn't remembering the circumstances correctly. I would argue that these things can only be fully proven at the time of the fact.... | |
| Dec 20, 2016 at 12:16 | comment | added | ATomz | Yeah, you're right. It's just a hard question that I haven't got a straight answer for and even the school registrar's office and my old academic advisor say it's "unlikely" and "up to the prof" and not really any definitive answers to give me peace of mind. It's these kinds of things that are hard for me to move on from with the small chance that it could happen in the back of my mind. I'm not a fan of gray areas and I'm kind of angry that the university doesn't have measures in place to prevent dilemmas like this. I almost registered in another course proactively in case I lose the degree. | |

The reason I've focused on this aspect, the how to move on, is that I noticed you asked several versions of the same question. That suggested to me that you might be somewhat stuck. If I am mistaken, so much the better! | |

Not really anything I can do. It's unlikely to be a thing but just wanted to see what advice I could get. Thanks for the insight. | |
