If you are dissatisfied with your grade:

not correspond to the quality of work that you submitted, you have two

Change Application Form, OR:
- Write a page (or paragraph, whatever it takes) explaining WHY
you think your work is better than the grade assigned to it. Please
refer to the blue assignment sheet (for papers), and make sure you
did the assignment.
- Then resubmit the work in question with your explanation,
and I will regrade it and get back to you.
