<p>So, going back to the OP and his/her post, I checked my own university’s undergraduate catalogue, and it lists believing your instructor assigned a grade arbitrarily as a valid reason to do a grade appeal. </p>
<p>At least at my university (you’ll have to check your university’s catalogue), you have to speak to your instructor about your grade no more than 10 days after your final grade is posted through the school. After that you can make a detailed appeal to the chair (or the dean if your instructor is the chair) where you provide all documentation and evidence for your claim along with a thorough description of it. They have until the drop date of the following semester to get back to you (at my uni), but they’re still required to give you a written, dated response. </p>
<p>So if you want to pursue this, check your undergraduate catalogue and see what it says. If it were at my university, I think it’d have a decent enough case. You would just have to make sure you were as thorough, honest, and non-accusatory as possible. </p>
<p>Just thought I’d share since I recently read about grade appeals. I wish you luck with whatever you decide!</p>
