You may request to have your work regraded, but when you do so, you are submitting it for a complete regrade. Your score can go down as a result. For example, you might get back a point on an assignment that shouldn't have been taken off but you might lose other points that should have been taken off. Or you might get points back on one exam question only to find that you should have lost points on some other exam question.
Homework, labs and exams are graded differently and so regrade requests are handled differently for each:
Students are encouraged to first discuss homework grading with their individual TA. If you aren't sure why you lost a point or if you disagree with the TA's evaluation, you should start by talking to your TA to see if you can resolve it directly. If not, you can request a regrade.
For homework regrade requests, fill out the course Regrade Request Form. You can ask for a regrade on an assignment up to 2 weeks after you get the grade back for the assignment.
Lab attendance is managed by Jonathan Sanders so contact him if you have any questions (jsanders at cs.washington.edu).
Exams are graded collectively by the course staff, so individual TAs have less power to deal with exam grading issues. A TA can correct obvious errors like an addition error or an obviously correct answer that has been marked as incorrect. For more detailed grading issues, you should request a regrade.
For final exam regrades, bring your final exam along with a short note describing what part of the exam you think was graded incorrectly to the CSE main office front desk (to the attention of CSE Course Coordinator, Pim Lustig). Please note that your entire exam will be regraded, so it is possible your exam score may go down due to a regrade request. Midterm regrade requests must be submitted by Friday, August 11th. Final exam regrade requests must be submitted by the 2nd week of the autumn quarter (Friday, Oct. 6, 5:00pm).
If you want a regrade of "encode" or "on the final, then you must use the corresponding program to test your solution before turning it in for a regrade.
You can use the testing program to find out how close your solution is to being correct. If you find that your solution was either correct or close to being correct, then turn in your correct solution to our catalyst dropbox and then in your note, describe how close you were to having the right answer. You still have to turn in your original exam to the CSE front desk to have the regrade take place. Please note: This is not an opportunity to turn in a second answer. It is intended to allow you to show how close your original answer was to being right.
