Online Course Grade Appeal - Criminology
Of course the home page of talk SFU is flooded with questions about this same thing but I wanted to know if anyone has any experience with appealing a grade from an online course for crim, meaning only the TA is responsible for instruction and grading.
- The TA gave me a C- on the term paper (16 pages of pure genius), only commenting on the first two pages and then telling me she didn't give me any feedback because I didn't 'address the assignment' ( my 4,000 words begs to differ) and I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't bother reading my paper at all. As per her personal special policy, I had to wait 72 hours before sending in a 1 page explanation to her about reconsidering my assignment mark.
- She graded my take home final exam and gave me a C- on it as well, but no feedback was provided. According to her logic: because it's a final exam.
If anyone has any stories or advice they could lend me I would appreciate it. I'll be applying for a WE for some courses I took in 2013 for a separate issue but at this point it just looks like I'm full of excuses when I'm really not, I know I deserve a better mark.

Thanks TalkUBC, that actually does make me feel better. Hopefully the ombudsperson gets back to me on Monday with an appointment time.
For the record, Astra is a woman!
Thanks anyone else who contributed!
Why would you call someone out on that.
Regardless of if Tara is their TA or not. That's rude, buddy
