How to see Exam
I recently failed one of my courses, but I had a high mark all year and I just want to look at the exam to see how I did so poorly.

Who do I contact to see my copy of the exam? Does the prof or the department carry the master copy and/or my copy of the exam? Also, I am currently in civil engineering.

Thanks

email the prof of your failed course and wait for his/her reply. they'll tell you about the procedure on how to view your final exam, if it is allowed. sometimes they don't allow it, and sometimes you have to pay a processing fee to see it. depends on the faculty/department i guess

I would call to set up an appointment instead. Emailing is so unreliable these days.

Go to the faculty office and fill a form.

Actually that might not work in this case, since exams probably aren't marked by the faculty.

It's also possible there was an error when inputting your marks. Even if you're not allowed to see the exam, you can ask the prof to double-check that everything is okay.

I failed Civ Eng 2C04. I got 70's all year but the exam caused me to fail the course.

That is what I am hoping, but there is a fee to get the exam remarked so if the exam just went poorly then I will not get it remarked, but otherwise it would definitely be worth it
