There are only about four to five students who appeal their grade every semester, but after talking to their professor and me, there is only about one student who actually goes through with the whole process.

Most students appeal their grades because they feel like they have been unfairly treated. For example, a student might appeal their grades because they had excessive absences and got what he or she thought was an unfair grade.

They have new ideas and new ways of doing things, but it will be good for the students.

Appeals are not a waste of time; the student just needs to have a really good argument. About 50 percent actually change their grade.

Newer teachers also have a broader perspective on literature.

They are highly technologically oriented and expect that new technology will be available.
