Regrade policies

After exam grades are released on Gradescope, you will have four work days to submit any regrade requests. The regrade request must be submitted using the facilities in Gradescope, and must be accompanied by a detailed explanation of what the grading error is. Any request that does not meet these requirements will be ignored, including requests that simply express an opinion that the grade is too low, or requests that do not explain what the grading error is. You are encouraged to come to office hours to discuss your exam grades with the course staff. We may evaluate the regrade requests after the regrade deadline has passed, and will not consider any regrade requests submitted after the deadline. Please note that we reserve the right to regrade any part of the entire exam, which may result in a lower grade.

When is it appropriate to request a regrade?

• You wrote the correct answer to a problem on the exam, but the grader marked it as incorrect.

When is it NOT appropriate to request a regrade?

• You have questions about the solutions.
• You feel that you deserve more partial credit for an incorrect answer.
• You swear you knew the correct answer but wrote the wrong thing at the last second.
• If you strain your eyes hard enough, that “T” looks awfully like an “F”.
• If you read in-between the lines, it really looks like you were on the right track to getting the right answer.
• You normally get 100% on exams and you just had an off day.

(I will update this list as I come across more inappropriate regrade requests, perhaps with concrete examples from this semester.)
