More inconsistency

I gave the student's paper 58%.

The prof gave it 68%.

Andrea gave it 69%.

Jen gave it 70.5%.

Ellen gave it 60%.

I'm the 'tough' marker.

No, really, I think the paper probably deserved 65% or less. It was a tough one definitely.

In a class of mine the TA's are grading the papers but the prof is reading them all and has the final word on the grade. How's that for ensuring consistency? Another prof I had once would read all the papers through once, then read them again and mark them so that he knew what the expectations should be. Wow. That's dedication. I'm not that dedicated.
