CSE 142: Computer Programming I, Spring 2022

Regrade Policy

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 and exams are graded differently and so regrade requests are handled differently for each:

• Homework

  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, you should fill out this Regrade Request form for our head TA, Ray He, to review. Regrade requests must be submitted within 2 weeks of receiving of receiving your score for an assignment.

• Exams

  Exams are graded collectively by the course staff, so individual TAs have less power to deal with exam grading issues. For exam regrades, give your exam to Stuart along with a short note describing what part of the exam you think was graded incorrectly. Midterm regrade requests must be submitted by Wednesdsay, May 25th.

  You are required to test your exam solutions for certain programming problems before turning them in for a regrade. If you want a regrade of problem 8 on the midterm or problem 9 or 10 on the final, then you must use the corresponding program to test your

  • Test8.java (for testing answers to midterm question #8)
  • FinalTest9.java (for testing answers to final exam question #9)
  • FinalTest10.java (for testing answers to final exam question #10)

  You can use the testing programs to find out how close your solution is to being correct. If you find that your final exam solution was either correct or close to being correct, then turn in your correct solution to this canvas upload page and then in your note to Stuart, describe how close you were to having the right answer. You still have to turn in your original exam to have the regrade take place. Stuart has moved to the new Gates Center (CSE2), room 305 (you can slip your exam under his door).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. You are not to change the answer you wrote on your exam paper.
