Grading Scale

The course is graded on a straight scale. Therefore, collaborating with other students is advantageous in all aspect. The exception to this straight scale policy us if the overall class average at the end of the course is below 75%. In this case, I may apply a curve to raise the average. This is extremely unlikely. I will not apply a curve that lowers overall grades.

Regrade Policy

Requests for regrades must be submitted directly on Gradescope. In your request, you are required to provide an explanation to why you are requesting a regrade. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in a rejected or missed regrade request. I also reserve the right to regrade the entire assignment, assessment, or exam. This may result in a higher grade, but it may also result in a lower grade.
