If I made an addition error on your exam, bring it to me, and I will correct it immediately. If you would like to request a regrade, please put the reason for your request in writing, and return it to me with your exam. I will not entertain oral requests for regrades. Please be aware that I photocopy a substantial percentage of the exams to discourage students from changing their answers and then requesting a regrade.
