Sorry to derail this thread! I don't believe that he is going to change her grade on that assignment. The grades are already in for the quarter. I am more worried that he is going to grade future assignments more harshly if they aren't massively better than the last essay b/c he now thinks that she should be able to write much, much better than she did if that essay only took her 1.5 hours the night before it was due.
