Petition Letter
Petition Letter: Dear Associate Dean Dr. Stephenson,
I am appealing for a review of Professor Aarssen¿¿s decision on grading of final examination for BIOL350 (Winter, 2020). I emailed Professor Aarssen requesting an informal review of the exam. However, he was unwilling to provide feedback or allow me to review the exam. I received the final exam grade of D after maintaining an A+ in the rest of the course. Having completed all five of the practice exams provided for the course, as well as reviewing the material many times over, I do not believe the grade accurately reflects my knowledge of the subject. I would like for my exam to be reviewed by another party. I will attach my correspondence with Professor Aarseen requesting my exam review.
Sincerely,
Katy Waters
