Regrades

Regrades refer to the process of reviewing and adjusting the grades of students in an educational setting. This process is typically initiated when there is a perceived error or discrepancy in the initial grading, or when additional information becomes available that affects the assessment of a student's performance. Regrades can occur at various levels, from individual assignments to final course grades, and can be requested by students, instructors, or administrators.

The regrading process usually involves a thorough review of the student's work by the instructor or a designated grader. This review may include re-evaluating the correctness of the answers, reassessing the quality of the work, and considering any additional factors that may have influenced the initial grading. Once the regrading is complete, the student's grade is updated accordingly.

Regrades are an important aspect of academic integrity and fairness. They ensure that students are not penalized for errors or discrepancies that may have occurred during the initial grading process. However, regrades should be conducted in a timely and transparent manner to maintain the credibility of the grading system. It is also important to establish clear guidelines and procedures for regrades to prevent misuse or abuse of the process.
