Need more information about a mark
Last term I received a mark that made no sense to me. It was lower than it should have been and now I dont know what to do. I wanted to meet with the prof but she's not teaching this term and when i sent her an email (not the mac email), it said that it wasn't a valid email address.
SO, where do I go to ask about this mark??

TA's for the class, advisors, tracking down the email to see if it was spelled correctly. Other members of Faculty who may have known the prof etc.

Sounds like she fulfilled her life goal of screwing you over and then took off for the hills.

Just contact the Dean of your faculty.

I still never understand why it's a teacher's fault if a student does badly in a class. Oh well.

I got a C in a first year class going into the exam with an A, contacted the Prof and found out they lost my exam. Came out with an A-.

You don't need to e-mail them crying, just ask for your grades to make sure there's no mistakes.

Eep! Lost an exam?! That's really serious.

When I was marking exams they made it really clear to us that we had to guard them with our lives!

As much as I'd love to be shoved in a bag and brought home with a stranger, once I finish writing it it's not up to me.
