[QUOTE="Rod Snell, post: 2786387, member: 796"] If that's the real issue, then there is no basis for changing the grade. "I was having a bad day because ______________" is one of the hazards of the testing process, not an error the prof can correct. Any error in grading that a student might find is investigated and corrected immediately: I recall one change that actually resulting in a student passing the course by 1/2 point. On the few grade challenges that were pushed to a faculty review board, I never attended to defend a grade, just sent the syllabus and grade sheets. None were ever changed. As an aside, I stopped letting the students drop grades because half the class blew off the first quiz, and toward the end of the class, blew another and forgot about the first. The ones who did their best on all of them didn't need to drop one, and the ones who counted on dropping one to save their grade usually blew two. :oops3: [/QUOTE]
