While final class grades are not negotiable, I’m always happy to discuss any concerns or clarify how they were determined. If a clerical error has been made, such as entering the wrong points in the Gradebook, please let me know right away so it can be corrected. It's important to remember that asking for an unearned grade goes against the principles of academic integrity.
A grade of Incomplete may only be granted at the very end of the term when 90% of the course work has been satisfactorily completed by the student, but an unforeseen event or illness prevents the student from completing the coursework. “Incomplete” grade situations are extremely rare, and are entirely at the discretion of the instructor, within the parameters set above.
There is a 20-point extra credit opportunity available, which constitutes 5% of the overall class points. When I was a student, I would always take advantage of extra credit to provide a grade buffer.
