Dear Elizabeth Panos:
We have received the results of your petition request #12457 to review an instructor’s decision on grading related to your Discussion Posts, Mid-Term Exam and Final Exam in DEVS 230 (W24).
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 petition letter was sent to the Acting Head of the department of Global Development Studies so that they could understand the reasons for your request before they facilitated this review. As part of formal review process, two reviewers (selected by the Head) were provided with your Discussion Posts, Mid-Term Exam and Final exam as well as the instructions/rubrics for each of these components.
We regret to inform you that this review did not result in a grade change for your Discussion Posts or Mid-Term Exam. While this review did result in a change to your Final Exam grade, your overall percentage still falls within the B+ range, so your final course grade will remain unchanged.
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 this reconsidered grade may not be appealed.
Sincerely,
(for) Jenn Stephenson
