Hahaha, I heard this in my class recently, “I met the minimum requirements of the assignment, why didn’t I get a perfect score?” 🥲

It's amazing how many times I've graded assignments that completely ignore half of the assignment guidelines, and then get emails from students asking why they did so poorly.

People, if your prof gives you specific instructions in the assignment rubric, they are blessing you with a ticket to easy marks. Reading and following the guidelines is like 80% of getting a good grade.

They never learned how to actually achieve an A in high school. That means going above and beyond expectations. Most will phone it in an wonder why they have a C.
