Grade Disputes and Rewrites
Blackboard is finicky. At times, it may register a 0 instead of 10s or I make a small error or calculation in the grade book. In these cases, please politely alert me via e-mail as soon as possible so that I may fix your grade. You are responsible for checking that your grades are accurate in a timely manner.
In the cases of grade disputes, 24 hours after receiving a grade, if you genuinely feel you deserve a higher grade, please submit to me via e-mail the details of the discrepancy and your argument for why you believe you have earned a higher grade. This paperwork does not guarantee alterations to your grade.
If you agree with the grade, but would like the chance to earn a higher grade, 24 hours after receiving the grade and after closely reading my feedback, please submit to me your intent to redo the assignment with your plan for revision, referencing the feedback you have received.
