The graders have a sheet that they have to fill out as they are grading the papers. All of the requirements have to be met before they can put a final grade on your paper.
If the paper is attached to you psychology essay, review it to see where the points were deducted. Make sure each thing they mark down is as they said. I had one essay that had 10 points deducted for an annotated bibliography. The final essay only required a works cited page. I contacted my instructor and got the 10 points back.
If there isn't a way to bring your 73% up, maybe you can make it up with your other assignments. I used to get all A's until I got further along in college. It's great that you have done so well up to this point, but you might have to be a littler easier on yourself. The important thing is that you do your best.
If you have anymore questions or need another pep talk, you can find it here.
Best of Luck!
