Grades will be returned to students on paper (if assignment was submitted on paper) or via email (if assignment was submitted electronically).
Papers will be returned either in lecture or in recitation. If papers are returned in recitation, after two attempts, the papers are returned to the instructor and can be picked up from the instructor before or after lecture or during office hours.
When you receive your graded work, you should check it over carefully. You should check first for addition or deduction mistakes (i.e. math errors) with your grade. However, you should also check for mistakes in the grading of a particular question or piece of the project. If you believe there was an error in grading, you should first contact the person that graded your work (within one week of the return of your graded submission):
Type of submission | Grading received | Best first contact attempt |
Exam or Quiz | On paper | Course instructor, in person, during office hours |
Other assignment | On paper | TA that graded the assignment, in person, during office hours |
Programming Project or any other electronically-submitted assignment | Electronically | TA that graded assignment, via email or during office hours |
If you are unable to come to office hours, or if the TA does not have office hours, you should contact the appropriate person via email to discuss the issue and make an appointment if necessary.
Grading guidelines for programming projects are available on the course website. Exam grading is typically discussed when exams are returned.
