Grade Posting: All scores for all activities and final grades are posted on Post’Em, accessible via Oncourse. Grade books will be updated weekly. Grading Errors:If you believe that there is a grading error on your exam, you have one calendar week from the time the exam score was posted to ask for clarification or regrading. Failure to pick up exams forfeits your right to regrading. See below for specific instructions about how to request that grades be corrected. Grade Freezes: Posted scores will be frozen on Saturday, March 3, 2012 at 12:00 Noon and again on Saturday, April 14, 2012 at 12:00 Noon. There will no longer be any possible adjustment to the posted scores after these dates. Thus, all claims of grading errors or "missing" scores from the beginning of the semester through Exam Two, February 27, must be resolved by March 3. Likewise, all claims of grading errors or “missing” scores from Reading Questions due February 29 through Exam Four, April 9 must be resolved by April 14. It is imperative that students are fully informed of their standing in the class, and this policy is to ensure that students pay attention to their recorded scores. Grading:We need to make a distinction between “grading” and “recording grades”. Some of the grading for the course is done electronically, such as all multiple choice exams which are graded by machine. For the pieces of work that require manual grading, your Coach is assigned a Grader who grades Pre-Lab Quizzes and End-of-Lab Quizzes for your section using a universal key. All graders share the grading of the written lab exams. Your coach will personally grade all parts of the Team Project. Graders read and score Warm Ups submissions. Recording and Posting Scores:The Grader is also responsible for keeping a record of all your scores and for submitting scores for posting. All questions about grading and recording of scores or points must be directed to the Grader assigned to your coach. You will find information about who your grader is and how to contact him or her on the online course under “Class Information,” as well on this site under Teaching Team Email and Office Hours. Specific office hours have been set aside for the purpose of meeting with your grader. You will find graders’ office hours in this same spot on the sites. Grade Corrections:Print the Post ‘Em screen that includes the points you dispute. Photocopy the evidence you have that supports your dispute. Take both items to WY105 and ask that they be put in your Grader’s box within one week of the day the exam or an assignment grade was posted. E-mail requests will not be honored. Remember:
