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.
Some examples of inappropriate regrade requests
- “I have explained the necessary condition to check the minimizer and return that. What more is expected ?”
- “I feel I have explained the necessary reasons for it to be incorrect.”
- “Is the error not calculated by just summing up when the y is wrong from our chosen f_t? is it because I did not scale with the interval size?”
- “Would it be possible to recieve credit for getting 0.6 as one of the values?”
- “Hi, I am unsure about what is missing in this explanation that made me lose 3 points, considering that my explanation and pseudocode are seemingly correct / justified.”
- “Dear grader, I think the grade category I fell in this question is harsh too.”
- “Hi, I realize my solution wasn’t complete, but I believe I should receive some partial credit for showing the correct reasoning structure.”
- “Hi, I understand that my answer wasn’t as detailed as the official one, but I was trying to explain a similar idea.”
- “Why is the given explanation not correct?”
