I have also had experience with a similar class in college. Funny you said you will probably get a C at best. No matter what I did on my papers and assignments every single one got a C. I even got an A in every single other class that semester and I never got below a B in high school. I appealed it to the dean and the response I got was that if the instructor feels that my writing is at a C level then that's the grade I will get. Good luck in that gay class. You should just have a bunch of the guys from the forum sit in on lecture one day for backup.
