If you believe that there was an error in the marking of your assignment or quiz, please follow the steps listed below within two weeks of the marks being released:

  • Review the model solutions and post mortem to ensure that the error is in the marking, not your understanding.
  • Send an e-mail to the IAs with a request, including the rationale for the remark and the question or questions that need attention.
  • Be prepared for your mark to either increase or decrease, and for questions other than those specified to be remarked.
