Appeals
Students who feel that an item on the midterm or final exam has been graded incorrectly may appeal that grade by providing a written appeal to the Instructor within one week of the return of the exam.
Students appealing any grade should bear in mind that if, upon re-examination and reconsideration, it is determined that the student's solution offered as an appeal merited fewer points than the original response, then the Instructor may adjust the student's grade accordingly: in order words, your grade may be negatively impacted by a poor appeal.
