What are “leniencies”?
Everyone has bad days—or weeks—so your instructors have decided to allow you to request certain kinds of leeway to help you catch up if you get behind:
☑️ Quizzes
You can request a reset for up to 2 quizzes for the entire term, at which point you can take them again.
⚠️ It’s tempting to reset early in the term, but you might want to wait until the last month because 1) a problem could arise that you can’t anticipate and 2) you’ll have most of the grades by then so can retake the worst quizzes.
📝 Tasks
You can always request that a late task be graded. You lose a point for every week it’s late, but after 3 weeks there’s no further penalty.
(You can also re-do a task for a better grade. Rather than add this request to the Class Sheet, just DM your TA in Slack to confirm.)
🗳️ Surveys
You can resubmit a late survey without penalty.
🗄️ Requesting a leniency
Your instructors can only grant leniencies if you add them to the Requests tab of our Class Sheet; you’ll find the link pinned to the top of our #reference channel. If you request a quiz reset, be sure to check back to confirm that your instructor has reset it, and then request a re-grade once you’ve completed it again.
