Is there a right to see final exam answers?

<p>In either high schools or colleges, is there any such thing as a right to see your results on an exam? Can a student challenge the teacher/professor to see graded results and not just be told “95%” or some other score?</p>

<p>yes, for me it is.</p>

<p>I don’t know about rights - but what frustrates me is when we’re forced to return answers back to the teacher. It discourages cheating, I understand, but it’s still anti-antithetical to the learning experience (hence why I dislike formal education)</p>

<p>YEah, I am always so angry that I don’t get to keep my tests. I always have to give them back to the teacher and never see them again. My math teacher last year apparently “destroyed” them, so I couldn’t see them this year… :(</p>

<p>Most schools, I don’t think anyone “has a right.” It’s really based on the teacher. The only grade I know fromm y exxams scores (besides letter grades saying A/B) is world history aand the only reason I know is because I got 100 on it. But, my teachers don’t let us see our actual exams most of the time because they don’t want to make new tests constantly.</p>

<p>My school posts midterm/finals/quarter grades on the website. It’s convenient. By seeing it, I found a clearly wrong (bad) grade and got it fixed.</p>

<p>I don’t understand what teachers get paid to do. It seems like writing tests is in the job description for ‘teacher’. At my school, some teachers have these 20 year old tests that they guard with their lives so they never have to write one themselves. It is so ridiculous. I would really like to see my tests, study them, and actually learn things instead of just getting a number. I AM NOT A NUMBER!!! :wink: :slight_smile: :D</p>

<p>This is what happens with bureaucracies</p>

<p>one of my teacher has pretty much the same tests every year and returns them… so all the underclassmen pretty much beg the upperclassmen for the previous years tests…</p>

<p>in our school u can come in like 4 days after finals and see where u lost points on every final… the teachers are right there to answer ur questions, but then u give the tests back</p>

<p>hey- at least its something</p>

<p>I didn’t even find out the grade on a couple of my finals last year.
(I didn’t really try to get the professors to tell me though)</p>
