information regarding redos and retakes for all of my classes

updated - Oct. 17, 2017
Students,

Now that the end of the quarter is upon us, I want to share some information regarding redos and retakes for all of my classes and all of my sections.

As with my colleagues in the English Dept., I will (of course) honor the redo/retake policy as articulated by our Dept., which is included in all of my syllabi as well as available here.

Once you have reviewed the policy you will notice I expect you to notify me of your intent to redo or retake within two days of your score posting in Aspen. Just to be clear, I do not expect you to notify me within two days of the due date of the summative assessment but, rather, within two days of seeing your grade in the portal. Once you have notified me, you will have ten days to redo or retake and this timeframe includes any out-of-class redo/retake steps, including but not limited to meeting with me during a mutual free period.

Furthermore, I ask that you notify me of your intentions to redo/retake in writing via email. We will discuss the particulars of these emails in class, but I do expect you to include an appropriate subject line, your name, your class, and your section. Stay tuned for more details!
