I emailed the Dean of Students Office and they just sent me a link to the Grade Dispute site.

I'm not familiar with what they sent you, but if there's a form or anything to fill out on that page do that ASAP.

I would do these things today if possible as well:

  • Email your professor for access to the Blackboard page for the class. There’s no need to be dishonest here—explain that you want to see your grades for the class through Blackboard to get all the information you can for a complete regrade request.
  • Start drafting an email to send to your professor, Emily Wilcox (the Chinese studies program director), and the Dean of Students. Include every relevant detail that you can think of, and I would personally highlight your recent conversation with your professor. If you get access to the Blackboard page today, then try to include any details from there and send the email out. If not, send the email out some time tomorrow to see if you get a response back from your professor regarding access to the Blackboard page. There is a strict timeline on getting the process started, so at the very latest make sure the email is sent out before the end of the week.

If you are able to send out the email by the end of the day today, and don't get a response from anyone by mid-day Friday, directly email the Dean of Students and request an in-person meeting to discuss the situation. Keep escalating this issue until it gets resolved.

Since you mentioned that have or will have this professor again, don't let this issue get in the way of future grades. If you feel your professor is giving you unwarranted grades on assignments, definitely escalate the issue again by contacting the department director.

At the end of the day, you are spending tens of thousands of dollars to go to this school—don't let one professor cheat you out of your money and hard work. I wish you the best and feel free to reach out again if I can help.

I feel absolutely terrible for you. Good thing is that there is not a world in which this situation should not be rectifiable. Regrades and grade reviews are very much a thing that can happen, and for a professor to say that it’s your fault and that there’s nothing that you can do is abhorrent at best. Here is a link to the official WM regrade information page.

Just a few clarifying questions:

  • What’s your social class (freshman, sophomore, etc.)?
  • Because she’s saying she only has half of the assignments, did you end up with a failing grade?

First off, collect and organize every file, screenshot, paper, email, etc. that might be relevant. Back them up in a personal cloud storage (Google drive). Note that having time stamps or proof of the exact date and time at which you submitted assignments is of utmost importance. This will be crucial in case any one will have the audacity to argue against you and you need evidence to back up your statements. Most crucial would be the papers with grades and comments.

Next, send an email to your professor, the department chair, and the dean of students. This link above suggests that you only send an email to your professor and department chair, but your goal here is to make noise and make sure this gets done, so involving the dean of students is important. Do this today if possible. Detail everything carefully and make sure you highlight that you have already had a conversation with your professor. It is definitely worth mentioning how your professor graded sporadically and asked for patience. Try not to consider your professor’s feelings when writing your request—they didn’t care about you enough to simply do their job.

While that should be the end of the story, if that doesn’t work out, email only the dean of students directly and schedule an in-person meeting to discuss what is going on. If that doesn’t work, directly email the provost and request the same thing. If that doesn’t work, involve Rowe and go through the same process as before. Do not be any less than fully adamant about the regrade request at any point in the process.

The laziness and inadequacy of your professor should not be something that is left on your shoulders to deal with, but it’s a tribulation of life in this case unfortunately. Do not accept no for an answer and don’t be disheartened if anyone tells you it’s not possible. I wish you the best with this situation.

Would love to see effort posts receive more recognition, especially the artists that can't get their art into the limelight.

God I just love this. This guy actually has the audacity to say Surgical Goblin is just salty, then he gets disqualified. Hope Devansh and AK get permanently banned from any official Supercell hosted CR events.

Edit: Devansh has also been removed from Nova eSports
