Remarking Policy

General notes

You may not submit a remarking request later than one month from the date on which the assignment, quiz, or test was returned. We will NOT accept remarking requests after this deadline. It is your responsibility to pick up your marked work as soon as possible. If you were not in class or in tutorial when it was handed back, pick it up from your instructor's office or from the office of the CSSU immediately.

Do not ask a TA or the professor to remark something in class (with the exception of case 1 below). The only way to get something remarked is to follow the procedure described below.

Procedure for remarking requests

1. If there is a simple addition mistake in your assignment or test, just show the work to your instructor (not your TA).
2. For all other remarking requests, print this remarking form, fill it in completely, and attach it to your assignment or test. (Remarking requests will not be considered if the remarking form is missing or incomplete.)

   You must be specific and clearly demonstrate that the marking scheme was not followed correctly for your assignment. Note that vague statements like "it deserves more marks" or "what I did is correct" will result in no change because the marker will have applied the same marking criteria to each paper; it would not be fair to the other students to ignore these criteria in your particular case. Also, statements like "I worked really hard" or "I really need those marks" are not good reasons: remember that marks are awarded based on merit, not on need or effort.

3. Give the form and assignment or test directly to the marker (your TA). Remember to submit your work together with the form.

   If you are comparing your work to that of another student, hand in BOTH assignments or tests (your request will be ignored otherwise).

4. If you are still not satisfied after getting back your remarked assignment (or after having a meeting with the marker), complete a new request for remarking form with the details of your complaint and hand this in to your instructor.

Important notes

Your mark will decrease if the marker sees something that was incorrectly awarded too high a mark. Do NOT complain or submit a second remarking request if this happens!

Remarked assignments will be available for pickup from your instructor's office or from the CSSU.
