Grade Appeals
The professional responsibility for assigning grades is vested in the instructor of the course and
requires the careful application of professional judgment. A student wishing to appeal a grade
must first meet with the instructor who assigned the grade to try to resolve the dispute. The
process for grade appeals is set forth in the undergraduate and graduate catalogs, which are
available at http://education.asu.edu/content/forms-and-policies.
Course/Instructor Evaluation
The course/instructor evaluation for this course will be conducted online 7-10 days before the
last official day of classes of each semester or summer session. Watch for an e-mail with “ASU
Course/Instructor Evaluation” in the subject heading. The e-mail will be sent to your official
ASU e-mail address, so make sure this mail forwards to an account you check regularly. You
can check this online by going to My ASU, choose Self Support and then E-mail Update (UPO).
Response(s) to the course/instructor are anonymous and will not be returned to your instructor
until after grades have been submitted.
Completion of the evaluation is not required for you to pass this class and will not affect your
grade, but your cooperation and participation in this process is important and appreciated. The
evaluations are used to (1) help faculty improve their instruction, (2) help administrators evaluate
instructional quality.
