Dear Yixin:
We have received the results of your petition request #14256 to review the instructor’s grading decision for your Final Exam in MATH 337 (W26).
Following completion of the formal review process, the review did not result in an increase to your final course grade. Your grade in MATH 337 (W26) will therefore remain unchanged.
As per Arts and Science Academic Calendar, Academic Petitions and Appeals Regulation 1.7.1.10, To Facilitate a Formal Review of Instructors’ Decisions on Grading of Term Work and/or Final Examinations, a student may petition for a formal review of a grade assigned in a course subject to the marking scheme set out by the course instructor.
Your petition letter was provided to the Department Head to support their understanding of the basis of your request. As part of the formal review process, two subject matter experts (selected by the Department Head) reviewed your Final Exam, along with the relevant grading instructions for this component.
Please know that in accordance with Academic Petition and Appeal regulation 1.7.1.10, at https://www.queensu.ca/academic-calendar/arts-science/appeal-regulations/#text, the reconsidered grade, which may be higher than or remain unchanged from the original grade, may not be appealed.
Sincerely,
