Regrading Policy

Students have three days after grades are posted to submit a written request for regrading. The written request must show that a student have read solutions and compared his/her answers to the solutions. A request should specify exactly why more points are to be awarded. This request should be sent to a TA responsible for the homework. The responsible TA (instead of the original graders) will be in charge of regrading, and therefore the decision will be final. Depending on the regrading, the final grade may be higher, lower, or unchanged. If necessary, the TA will reevaluate the entire homework. The decision timeframe is ONE week.
