Petition Letter

Petition Letter: This week, I received a D+ (59) as my mark for the PSYC 333 midterm exam, which was graded by the 333 Teaching Assistant (Katrina Bouchard). I went to her office today to go over my exam, and saw that marks were taken away, when my responses were comparable to the answer key. It was frustrating to receive a 59, when 0.5 points would have changed my letter grade, and I feel that marks were taken off unjustly. I would really appreciate if my short answers could be reevaluated, as I feel I was penalized and had marks taken off where they should not have been.
