Grade Appeal

This week’s episode is about how to successfully appeal a grade. Sometimes students work really hard on an assignment, but they do not get the grade they are expecting. This is usually because of a misunderstanding between the marker and the student. In these cases, it is often helpful to meet with your TA or professor to discuss the grading. These discussions are more challenging during Covid-19 because of social distancing; however, it is possible with strategies to successfully negotiate a better grade. This week we are changing things up. The host of this week's podcast is Jingyi(Jane) Miao, the creative and marketing assistant at Pfau Academic Writing, and a fourth-year international student at the University of Toronto. Jingyi will be interviewing Lisa Pfau, the founder, and CEO of Pfau Academic Writing. As you may know, Lisa has over 20 years of experience helping students with essay writing, application support, and career development.
