The School of Social Work’s reassessment policy adheres to the Faculty of Arts policy (#5.8.3), which specifies the following:
In accordance with the Charter of Student Rights, and subject to the conditions stated therein, students have the right to consult any written submission for which they have received a mark and the right to discuss this submission with the examiner.
The Faculty of Arts recognizes two types of reassessments or rereads:
- Reassessment of coursework (term papers, mid-terms, assignments, quizzes, etc.);
- Reread for a final exam.
In both cases, rather than re-correct the work and then grade it as they would have done themselves, independent reviewers assess the appropriateness of the original grade based, forÌýexample, on the application of the grading key to the student’s work. If a grade is deemed unfair, it is changed, whether the new grade is higher or lower than the original – i.e. the reviewer’s grade takes precedence over the original grade.
ReassessmentÌýof coursework is administered and conducted solely by the School of Social Work.
To request a reassessment of coursework, students should contact the Director, Nicole Ives, in writing to make this request; append a copy of the graded coursework and the instructor's grading grid.
Professor Ives will forward the graded coursework and the instructor's grading grid to a member of the faculty with a request for a reassessment of the submitted work.
