Grade Appeals:
If you have questions about a grade you received on an assignment, talk with your lab instructor first. If you are unable to resolve your questions, contact the lecture instructor for the course.

Final grades are determined by the scale at the right. The grades are not curved.  An appeal to raise your grade because it is a few points away from the next grade is not a reason for changing a grade. Final grades are changed only in cases where a mathematical error has been made in the calculation. 

Communication majors must earn a grade of C- or higher to receive credit for this class.

Students who are completing this course to satisfy a General Education requirment also must earn a grade of C- or higher to receive credit for this class.
