Depends on your class level. If it's an AP English class, yeah, that sucker is a C, or maybe even a D (and in some cases, that's a U/F, I'm afraid). Sorry, but that's how it goes in those classes. I know, I'm in one, and my teacher enjoys giving me them. 'Course, that's for poetry writing and analysis, and I personally hate poetry with a burning passion (I find it pointless and stupid), so that causes some problems.
However, if it's not an AP course, that really shouldn't be a C paper. If it was your final draft, then yeah, it could merit a C. It's got some errors, and doesn't have much coherency. However, if it's a first or revised draft, then no, that's not fair at all. That should be at least a B, minimum, for a first draft. However, if it was a final... yeah, I'd have to agree. Especially in junior year.
Sorry if that wasn't the answer you wanted to hear.
But that's just how our lovely educational system works.
