Grades are always communicated to the student as a percentage – i.e. on a scale of 0 to 100.
Once a grade is communicated electronically students have a 2-week window of time in which they may approach the instructor during office hours and question the grade received. Grade adjustments will not be considered after this window has closed. Of course, during the last week of the semester, study days, and finals week, the 2-week window may shorten. Grade adjustments will not be considered 48 hours after the last day of final exams.

Extra Credit and Curved Grading:
Extra credit opportunities will not be offered as a way to compensate for poor academic performance earlier in the semester.
Individual exams and quizzes are not curved. A single curve to the overall numeric grades for the class may be applied at the end of the semester, after all quizzes and exams are completed, in order to conform the class to the GPA distribution expected by the school. There is no guarantee that such a curve will be applied.
