Petition Letter
Hello,
I was in CISC 251 for the fall semester of 2018 and am surprised with the grading that I received for the course.
My final grade in this course was a C which I feel did not reflect my actual knowledge of the material. Going into this exam I had a 75 in the course from a report submitted. After this report I sent an email to professor Skillicorn asking him some questions about the logistics of the exam. He responded to my email with a very rude and angry tone. In this email that I sent to him I included my student number, and I believe that he marked my exam more harshly than other students due to my email. After receiving my mark I asked to speak with professor Skillocorn to go over my exam. During the meeting I learned that he gave me a zero on a final question on the exam that I answered worth 18/60 marks or 30 of my exam. I have never seen this severity in marking a question before and it makes me believe that professor Skillicorn marked my exam very harshly because of my questions, which made him believe that I did not attend class. Due to this reason, I would like someone else to review my exam mark to make sure it was marked fairly.
Attached in the documentation step is the response email from professor Skillicorn.
Thank you very much
