This is going to be kind of long but I want to give a backstory. TLDR at the end if you don't want to read it all haha I'm in the first term of an ABSN program that is hybrid so we have the didactic courses online and come in person for labs and clinicals. Everything was going well until the last in-person weekend we had 2 weeks ago. I had to take an unexpected trip right before and unfortunately my return flight was cancelled and the next one was late getting back in, which meant I was a few hours late turning in an assignment. (It was due at noon I submitted it at 5:30pm) The assignment was a "ticket to test" which are these worksheets we do to prepare for dosage calculations quizzes and her policy is that if you don't turn in the ticket to test on time you can't take the dosage quiz.
I brought it up with her at the in-person weekend a couple days later because she gave me a 0 for the ticket to test and we hadn't yet taken the quiz. And basically she said that's the stated policy and she can't make an exception for me when she hasn't for any other students. If I had an issue I should've emailed beforehand but after the fact was not going to work. Which I guess I understand although supposedly the ticket to test assignment is to make sure you're prepared for the quiz so if you're prepared I think you should be able to take it. She then said feel free to take the quiz anyway "for practice" but I would be receiving a 0 on that as well, which is where I got a little snippy. I kinda snapped back "I don't need to. I know how to do it." Which is true I am really good at math. I had made 100's on all other dosage calc quizzes/tests, but I am on the spectrum and my mom says I can come off harsher than I intend to sometimes.
Anyway I was upset but I accepted what she was saying and went and cried in the bathroom. I am also an academic perfectionist and was really striving for a 4.0 GPA in this program. Since then this teacher has been as nightmare to me. The very next day she sent out an email and had put my name on a list of a few other students to watch while we were doing our skills checks because we were suspected of cheating. Now I've never cheated. I am a good student and work hard and genuinely want to learn the material. I wasn't supposed to know but the student instructor had my back and warned me.
I did really well in my skills check and the other instructor had nothing but good feedback for me so I wasn't really worried. But with the instructor who I had the issue with I've started to get lower grades than I think I deserve. Another dosage quiz several days later I received a 64!!! Which is crazy bc like I said I'm good at math and know the material and until this point had gotten high A's on everything. She sent a canvas announcement saying several people weren't following rounding rules (she wants mg and kg rounded to the 100ths place and I rounded some to the 10ths) which again I thought was not the best policy if you don't state that in the question but what can I do? I sent an email asking what I missed so I could better prepare for the final dosage competency and she completely ignored it. And then the other day we took our course final, which I felt very confident on there were 2 or 3 questions MAX that I wasn't 100% sure of the answer. Today I received my grade and it was an 87, which means I would have had to miss 9 questions and I really don't see how that's possible. I know the material inside and out and was completely positive on the answer for the majority of the exam.
TLDR I challenged an instructor on her grading policy of giving a 0 on an important quiz due to a different assignment being turned in a few hours late and now I think she's spreading suspicion about me potentially cheating and intentionally lowering my grades in her class.
Now I'm not sure what to do. This is a small close-knit program so if I ask for any kind of review of the grades I'm sure that it will follow me for the rest of it and the other instructors may treat me differently as well. I also have her in a couple more classes and I think she will be the preceptor for pediatric clinicals. I don't want her to be able to affect my grades or future career prospects. And like I said I also genuinely want to learn the material as best as possible so if I'm way off base and think I'm right about answers when they are incorrect I'd like to know that as well. I'm not so conceited to think I can't be wrong but I just don't feel like that what's happening.
Can someone give me advice about how to handle this?
