Reviewing Exams
So as we all know, grades have finally been released. Everything looks good except for the fact that I have somehow plummeted in one of my classes and I don't see how it's possible. I had a 77% on the first midterm, a 90% on the second midterm, around 90% on my tutorials, and a high 80's on a PBL project. Somehow I got a 4 in the class (C-).

The grade report page says any inquiries should be directed to the Student Records Office at Gilmour Hall Room 108. Is there anything else I can do to get a chance to make sure this isn't a mistake? I honestly don't see myself doing so poorly on the exam to get a 4 with my marks going in being as high as they were.

Ask your professor, i know for some of my classes the professor will arrange a time and place to meet them and they will let you review your exam/discuss your mark.

But, this process varies from course-to-course, and faculty-to-faculty. For example, Math 1Z04 and 1ZZ5, you needed to write a letter, wait for approval, etc etc.

Yeah, I would also suggest contacting your professor first (or the IA if you have one). They are usually the ones who set up exam reviewing times.
