Petition Letter
Petition Letter: Hi, I hope you are doing well.
I have reason to believe that my group's midterm, and past work, are being marked and graded in a way that isn't in line with the rubric, the learning outcomes, or even the instructions given by the professor them-self.
I believe that there are some other factors coming into play, with regards to my group's grading.
To be more specific, the instructions given by the professor, and outlined on ONQ as well as the syllabus, never detail seemingly key components of the midterm, that are apparently vital to the proper completion of the grade.
In the case of the midterm, nowhere does it mention creating or using a syllabus, and upon request, the professor did not elaborate.
It is also worth mentioning that I feel uncomfortable being present, and turning my video on, in the video classes, since I am one of few Asian-Canadians In the class.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
