grades

the bad end of the bell curve

Is there any hope that UofT will allow grade replacement in the near future? Ever? I got a C- for a subject which I thought I would actually get a B! I have no idea how I ended up that way! and the prof refused to upload the answer key on portal! :/ I am like WTF!

I heard that the new student council people were going to ask for a grade replacement policy, and SO I voted for them! But I have no idea if they have any plans of doing it!

Does anyone know anything about it?? Anything at all? 🙁

Thank You!

Clearly-Dearly-Frustrated Student,

Grade replacement at UofT… yeah. No. Sounds like wishful thinking, dude!

But that is a pretty steep difference between grades. It’s quite possible and very likely that y0u were just the unfortunate victim of some bell-curving (quotas! quotas! quotas!) or maybe you just didn’t do as well on the exam as you thought you did? For now, request to see the exam to make sure you did things correctly and know exactly what your grade was.

And omg voting… it’s awful, but never in my four years did I vote. I really just walked by those people hounding you at the doors of Sid Smith with some excuse of “Sorry, I have class!”/”Sorry, I’m in a rush!”/“Sorry, I don’t go here!”

But yeah, there’s no one to really contact with this “grade replacement” thing since it’s not, well, real. If you really want to talk to someone though, have a chat with your college registrar and see what you can do from there.

Cheers!
