Regrades:
Quizzes and exams will be returned during the following week’s recitation
meeting. Any regrade request must be made to the TA at this time. No
exam or quiz that has left the recitation room in possession of the student
will be considered for regrading. Students are not to enter research labs in
search of TAs, since potentially dangerous chemicals and equipment are
present in these labs.
