 You need to go talk to that teacher and asked her for an explanation. Bring along a friend who can be a witness .
Listen to her and see if there is any justifications why she is doing that to you .
If you do not agree with her, you will need to go and report to the head of the department for remedial actions.
If you still do not get any results, go talk to a news reporter and tell them about this incident.

See if your college has an ombudsman who is responsible to assist in cases like this. My university did, and it worked well.

 Unproffessional behaviour. She is not paid to like you, she is paid to teach you and mark your work and give you a grade.
Take it higher. Talk to either your form tutor, mentor or whoever is supposed to take care of your problems. If you can't find someone, then write a letter to the Head of the course, tell them what is happening and ask what you should do next to get your course marked and pass your exams.
This woman is paid to teach. She is on a contract of 3years, if her students complain or do not pass her contract will not be renewed. You have every right to complain if she is not doing her job. Letters work best, but also a private conversation with someone in charge will clear up things and make sure that this woman's behaviour changes.
Do not be afraid. Your an adult, your doing your job (studying) and have ever right to complain if your teacher is jepodising your future in such an immature way.

 Talk to another teacher or councellor and tell them what is going on. If one teacher wont accept your work you should be entitled to having another teacher grade your work.

 I agree with the others. Basically her behaviour is unprofessional. I had an art teacher at sixth form college years ago who hated me for no apparent reason and I had to go to the Head of Year to complain about her trying to kick me out her class. She told other teacher's I was a trouble-maker but the Head Teacher said that many colleagues had concerns about her conduct (discussions in the staff room no doubt). I don't think the Head at your school would be happy to hear about her behaviour - Ofsted report's make or break an educational establishments reputation these days and students who are failed without due grounds are bad for the business of attracting parents and bright pupils to schools and colleges in the future. You must act right away - be calm and ask a teacher you can trust to accompany you to a meeting with the Head Teacher if you feel undermined or worried about speaking up. I have no doubt you will not be the first student to have felt this woman's wrath and staff will probably know she is a 'problem. Sadly there are some teachers out there who teach because they love to impart knowledge to others, while there are some teachers out there who teach because they couldn't get another job in another profession. Out of the latter group, there will be some who are resentful of bright students who they anticipate to do well in their future, in contrast to their own bitter lives. My brother was told he couldn't do O'level chemistry (now GCSE) years ago as he wasn't good enough - he is now a professor of chemistry. I was told to do an appenticeship in hairdressing by my careers teacher at 13 since I wasn't really 'academic' material. I went on to get a PhD and go to Oxford Uni. I just think you have to go back to college with your head held high and challenge this woman in a calm, unemotional way. She won't want this saga on her personnel record so I am sure she will agree to mark your work, and you could ask the Head teacher to arrange for the assignment to be marked blind by a colleague to ensure you get a fair mark.

 Take it to a different member of staff in her department, or a senior member of staff. Explain that you have completed your work, and show it to them - then your teacher can't claim you missed the deadline. Don't get emotional or accusing. Tell them exactly what happened, without exaggeration, and I'm sure they will take steps to resolve it. If she doesnt mark it, a different teacher will. Good luck :)

I had a few crappy teachers too, and my father is one, so I know how crap they can be. Clearly your teacher is being childish about everything. So pull the rug under from her and go directly to the head teacher. And don't be afraid to record your conversation secretly either. Someone at my school did that and suddenly people started to treat him very well.

 Well if this is the case you need to go to someone senior and tell them what has happened! There must be an equivalent of a head teacher (like you had at school) in your college - make an appointment to see him asap. If you have tried to hand your work in before the deadline then you have not done anything wrong and it is your teacher that is at fault. She is being unfair towards you and as her job is to teach, she is breaching the rules of being a teacher so she should get into trouble for this.
Make sure you see someone senior about this asap - feeling sorry for yourself is not going to help so talk to a senior teacher, ideally the college principal or whatever they call them and explain what has happened. Tell your parents - get them to ring the college as well. You have until Friday to sort this out so you have time, so make sure you get on with it and deal with this asap.
I hope this helps and good luck!
