Complaint

Each student has the right to express their concerns about how they were graded
and for activities that occur in the classroom they feel are inappropriate. The
College policy asks the student to first file the complaint with the faculty member
involved to try to reconcile the situation. If the student is still unsatisfied, the next
step is to take up the issue with the department head of the faculty member
involved. I strongly encourage students in my classes to let me know if you have any
complaints or concerns about your grade in a paper or the course. In addition, if you
have an issue with matters in the classroom, it is important to contact me to discuss
the matter.

The first step is to send me an email (click on "Action Step 1"), which is a
written notification of your complaint. I will respond to you by email, and if
you want, arrange a meeting to discuss and hopefully resolve the matter. If it
is not resolved, you can go to Action Step 2.

If you cannot resolve the issue with me, then the next step is to arrange a
meeting with the department head. You will receive a fair hearing from this
person. Contact is person by sending an email (Click on "Action Step 2")
explaining the issue, advising the person you already discussed it with me, and
that you would like to meet with him/her.
