Bascially in a nutshell we did a group project and we all had to do our part. At the end, we had to grade each other, and we were not supposed to see what the others gave us. I turned in my grade sheet, and looked down to see that she gave me a poor rating, and put down that she did not want to work with me again. I felt that I did a lot for the group, I bought the food which cost about 20 bucks, and did my part, maybe not the way she wanted it. I want to know it you think it's a good idea to talk to the professor even though we were not supposed to look at the sheet. I did gave everyone a perfect score by the way.

I think this is ridiculous to have the others grade you and you not supposed to know about it. You are at college to learn, how is this suppose to foster learning. If you were each giving each other constructive feedback within the group it would be okay, this would be teaching you to work as a group, accepting criticism and giving you a chance to self-evaluate your own work.
I would definitely discuss this with the professor and see how he explains what this contributes to your education. Is he taking other's opinions into account when grading you on the project or is he making the decision which it is his job to do.
You are paying tuition to attend school and he is being paid to do his job. If this turns out that you get a poor grade on this project I would take it to the department head. Don't be a "nice guy" who always finishes last. Stand up for your rights, not in an angry but a straightforword, confident way, and I bet you will come out with a good grade.

Ethics is a bear, ain't it? To do one thing that will reveal that you peeked and you were not supposed to? Or to speak with the girl who gave you a bad report when you thought you were doing your part? Or ask the others in the group what's up with them and that you enjoyed working with them?
Is this a college class? High School. Junior High? You use the term professor, so probably you are mature enough to know if you are mature enough to approach the professor. Or even want to.
What you might do is go to him and tell him the truth about working with this girl, but you got a strange vibe from her and wanted to let him know that you got something from the group effort.
Telling on yourself is probably best reserved for something serious..or more serious than this thing. What do you really think?

I wouldn't say anything either. Your teacher had a reason for doing what he did. I am sure he has done it before as well. I would wait for him to unveil why he had the students grade each other. You will probably be surprised as to what his motives were.............and I doubt it will affect your grade.
On the other hand you probably shouldn't have given the other students all perfect grades. It shows that you might not be able to be perfectly honest in situations like this. I am guessing that you gave those grades because that is what YOU wanted to get or THOUGHT you were going to get or you were doing what you though the others would WANT you to do. The teacher is probably going to grade you on how he thought you handled the grading, NOT the grade the others gave you.
It's a sociology class, you need to think WHY.

I don't think you should do that. You should wait until you get the scores back from the class and then ask the professor why your score was so low..( but maybe that would be inapropriate). Anyway, if you other members of your group gave you a good grade then the professor would most likely ignore her comments. I wouldn't worry too much.

that may no longer what you should pay attention, yet I say to "upward push above this". much less tactfully, suck it up. The team-mate is entitled to her opinion - there is obviously a reason. that's her subject or yours which you're blind to. in spite of everything, you extremely did no longer play the sport in accordance to the policies the two i.e. peeking on the score. regrettably as quickly as you get into the activity tension, you will run into idiots like this oftentimes. in case you run on your boss each time somebody does something that doesn't mesh with your ideals, you will lose recognize and credibility. human beings will choose you contained in the artwork tension on how nicely you take care of your self and the oftentimes going on of your artwork. some fool who undesirable-mouths you without grounds to achieve this isn't undermine the oftentimes going on of worker you're. i think that it is the comparable oftentimes going on to persist with in greater training as nicely. Dignity is a effectual distinctive function. i might wait and notice what the score is and in line with threat communicate over with the Professor why you're being graded by a peer who hasn't been knowledgeable and does not have the right credentials/skills to be judging your artwork. you likely does not be out of line to ask the Professor (in a non-confrontational way) why it wasn't graded by him/her. basically a practise. do no longer point out peeking, nonetheless! additionally, do no longer remorseful approximately being supportive of your team-acquaintances - you will get added in existence being the beneficial tension in a team environment. i'm hoping it seems ok for you!

My approach with the professor would be that I wanted to learn from this experience and that you saw the remarks just by glancing down. I would then explain what you did for the task and ask how you could have gotten a better peer response.

YES!!!
Sometimes in a group project there are really "traitors" around... even in the bigger world there such a thing as like that.....but my opinion is... you have to discuss that with your professor especially if your grade is at stake here...... you need to discuss with him the possibilities of maneuvering your grades..... sometimes people rate you because they "don not like you".. it is a clash on personality and they do not value or rate your contribution instead they will rate you with your personality..... and that is BAD...... in the real world you will still meet many people like that... good luck!!!!

If I were you I would pull the professor aside and definitly tell him/her the situation. Ask your self what you have to lose by doing so. If you feel unjust about it, the feeling will probably not go away until you express it in a positive way. Just be quite about it when doing so. The best of luck to you.

No. The feedback should be taken so that you can improve the things that you need to work on. If you go talk to the professor it will only make you look like you can't accept constructive criticism.
