Please note that every effort was made to ensure that your assessment(s) has/have been graded in a conscientious and objective fashion. The regrade procedure is intended to correct serious errors in grading, which may occur occasionally.

All graded materials should be examined immediately upon return, and cross-checked with the answer keys posted on Canvas.

POGIL Activity:. If you have a question about your score, please reach out directly to your graduate TA and Dr. Brydges.
FRQ Portions of your Learning Checks: For transparency and equity, the full grading rubric for each exam question is made visible on Gradescope. If there appears to be an error, please submit a regrade request via Gradescope, providing a courteous, complete yet concise explanation for your request.

Deadline:

Requests for re-grading must be received within one calendar week of the return of the graded item; grade adjustments will not be made after this time.

What Merits a Regrade:

Your answer is really the same as the one on the answer key, but the grader/TA did not realize it. Your explanation should make it clear why you believe your answer is the same.
Your answer is different from the one provided on the answer key, but your answer is also correct. Your explanation should make it clear that you have read the answer key, and why you think that your answer is equally sound/correct.

What Does NOT Merit a Regrade Submission:

The following are not valid reasons to submit a re-grade request via Gradescope:

"I don't understand this question or how I lost points on it." Rather than submitting a regrade request, please visit the instructor and/or your graduate TA during office hours to discuss your exam.
"Most of what I wrote is correct, so I think I deserve more partial credit."  Any student requesting additional credit must justify an update to the rubric (see above), since partial credit is awarded equally for all students who write a particular answer.
"I wrote so much, and the grader didn't notice that the correct answer is buried somewhere within this long paragraph." Importantly, the burden of proof rests on each student to demonstrate their understanding of a concept.  Full credit cannot be earned if a correct answer is accompanied by incorrect or extraneous information. Again, see above.
"I'm just 1 point away from the next letter grade, so I thought it was worth scrounging around to find an extra point somewhere."  Again, see the commentary above.

The Review Process

Please note that all re-grade requests go through a fair and comprehensive review/audit process, and will be returned in a timely fashion.
The grader who processes your request will provide a brief (and courteous!) response, indicating whether your score has been raised, lowered*, or not revised, along with a brief explanation.

*Remember that if you submit an item such as Learning Check for a regrade, your entire assessment will be re-graded and re-tallied, not just the problem in request. Please consider the strength and merits of your request.
