If you want to know your final exam score as well as assigned letter grade, you can email me using your CUNY email address. After receiving your score, you can review how grading is done and dispute about the assigned letter grade if you wish. I will do my best to discuss with you in an impartial manner. I am planning on finishing all the above procedures by Dec. 24th.
