Viewing Your Graded Final Exam

To view your graded final exam, please see Lynne Dell (in 32-D664) well within normal business hours. (If she is not there when you visit, please try again another time/day.) You may look through your exam there. Do not write anything in it or otherwise alter it.*

You must NOT take your exam away from Ms. Dell's desk.

If you believe that there is a problem with the grading of your exam, send a note to Prof. Tsitsiklis or Sho Chaudhuri, CLEARLY describing the grading issue. Do not forget to include the relevant problem and part identifiers (e.g., "2(b)"). As ever, your new grade may "turn out to be higher, lower, or the same as before."

* Remember: "Any attempt to modify an exam booklet is considered a serious breach of academic honesty. We photocopy a substantial fraction of the exams before they are [available for viewing] and the probability of catching a change [should you request a regrade] is high."
