After carefully
reviewing all of the data pertinent to this case, it is my opinion
that the grade for PHIL 1030 should stand.
Instructors are permitted to employ a grading scale of their
own volition, as long as it is reasonable and fair. It is explained
on the syllabus that the four-point scale is used (A=4, B=3, C=2,
D=1, F=0.) This is the same scale that is used by the college
designating a students GPA. Dr. Meredith expressed that the
Student Display in PAWS Grades were set to give both a four-point
numeric score and a letter grade equivalence (A, B, C, D, or F) for
each assignment. Per the screenshot of your grades provided by you,
I found his assertion to be accurate. Therefore if the number was
not clear, the letter grade for each assignment should have been.
Dr. Meredith has provided both the grading rubric for
argumentative essays as well as his feedback for this assignment.
The grading rubric lists two primary categories and two secondary
categories. One of the primary categories is Comprehension. Under
this category it is quite lucidly articulated that the
essaymust refer
to the assigned reading. According to the rubric, a failure to
interact with the assigned reading will result in an F for that

Meredith
contends that grades for each of the two preliminary exams were
posted to PAWS and accessible to students approximately one week
after each assessment was given. For exam security purposes, the
graded exam papers themselves are kept on file in his office, but
students were welcome to stop by during his office hours, or by
appointment, to view and discuss their graded exams with him. There
is agreement between you and Dr. Meredith that you stopped by in
November expressing concerns with your overall grade, and made an
inquiry of a means of improving it, but it is his profession that
you at no point asked to see the marked exam
