级纠纷
成绩衡量学生的表现,并作为确定毕业资格和荣誉的手段。 As
such, 西维尔大学 recognizes that a fair and rigorous assessment of student coursework is vital to the mission of
the school and wishes to ensure that disagreements arising over assigned grades are handled promptly, fairly, and
professionally.
This policy outlines the procedure that a student must follow in the event that he/she wishes to dispute the grade
received in a course at 西维尔大学.
This process must be initiated by the student before the midpoint of the next non-summer semester, which
immediately follows the course in question.
大多数成绩问题可以而且应该在学生和老师之间私下解决。 This is the starting
point with all grade disputes. In case the matter is not satisfactorily resolved by these means, the following appeals
procedure shall apply:
1. The student shall submit a written appeal to the division dean with a copy to the instructor identifying the
course, semester, grade received, and the reason for the appeal.
2. The student shall assemble all relevant class materials (syllabi, returned assignments, tests, papers, etc.)
distributed or returned by the instructor to the student. These materials need to be compiled within two
weeks of the date of the written appeal. If the student cannot assemble all such documents, the grade dispute
is concluded with no grade change.
3. Concurrently, the instructor will assemble all relevant class materials that he or she retained for this student
(final exams, midterms, etc.) within two weeks of the date of the written appeal. A copy of these documents
along with the syllabus, grade book, and the instructor's written response to the student appeal is to be
forwarded by the instructor to the division dean. If the instructor cannot produce all relevant documents
pertinent to the student's work in the course, the grade dispute will be taken up by the instructor's division
dean in consultation with the associate dean.
4. The chair will appoint an ad hoc committee of two faculty members within the division who teach the course
(or a similar one) in question. This committee will then evaluate the student's course materials based on the
following criteria:
● Have all assignments and examinations been administered in accordance with the guidelines set forth in
the class syllabus?
所有学生的作业评分是否公平、一致、准确?
At the conclusion of the committee's evaluation of the course material, it will submit a written recommendation
and explanation to the division dean. 建议必须是下列之一:
1. 坚持老师给的分数,或者
2. Require that the instructor re-grade one or more assignments, followed by a recalculation of the student's
grade, or
3. Require that the instructor formulate a repeat of one or more class assignments or assessments, followed by
a recalculation of the student's grade, or
4. 建议指定的等级变更
Based on the ad hoc committee's findings, it shall be the division dean's decision, in consultation with the
associate dean of 西维尔大学, as to whether the grade shall be changed. 这将是最后的决定。 No further
appeal is possible.
