Dear Andrew Keegan:

We have received the results of your petition request #13133 to review an instructor’s decision on grading related to the Final Exam in ECON 280 (W25).

As per Arts and Science Academic Calendar, Academic Petitions and Appeals Regulation 3.3.1.6, 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 Final Exam was sent to the Head of the Department of Economics so they could facilitate this review. During the formal review process, two reviewers (selected by the Department Head) were provided with your Final Exam along with the instructions for this component.

We regret to inform you that this review did not result in a change to your grade in ECON 280 (W25). If you are concerned with the impact that this course has on your GPA, we would suggest that you consider repeating it in a future term. When repeating the exact same course code, both attempts will appear on your transcript however, only the higher grade will be included within the calculation of your cumulative GPA.

Additionally, please know that according to Academic Petition and Appeal regulation 3.3.1.6. at https://www.queensu.ca/academic-calendar/arts-science/appeal-regulations/#text the results of this review may not be appealed.

Sincerely,

(for) Dorit Naaman

Associate Dean (Academic)
Faculty of Arts and Science
