Every chance.
I had a lecturer who gave me a C for a lab report (maybe a C-) and
didn't say why.

So I repeated the misdemeanor and got another C.

Turned out he objected to the pages being numbered in Hebrew.

                 Aleph, Beth, Gimel, Daleth, ...    <-- fwiw -
Gamatrea uses  the Hebrew alphabet as both  numbers and letters

After I left they fired him for having falsified his credentials and
miscellaneous weird behaviour.
Irrelevant, but he had a profile closer to that of a beer keg than
anyone else I've ever seen :-).

When I subsequently (some people never learn) numbered pages in a
report in Hebrew for a Professor who was Chairman of the NZIE, an
acknowledged man of stature, and was  all round generally liked and
respected in and out of university, he commented (as close as the
intervening 39 or so years allow)
..
"What's this, Hebrew".
'Yes sir'
"Ah. I thought so".

The late great Prof Bogel.
