Instructions for completing appeal form and annotating original submission

If the problem is that points were added up incorrectly, just note on the appeal form where the addition error lies. You do not need to annotate your original submission

Otherwise, your appeal form must clearly explain WHY you believe your solution was correct and was mismarked. Before filing your appeal you should fully read the solution key for that problem along with the associated marking notes and then check the box on the appeal form stating that you have read the key.

Your main appeal argument should be written on the appeal form. More than one form may be used. You may also type up your appeal argument and append it to the form.
If you are arguing that we misread your statements, then carefully and clearly annotate your submission to show us where we misunderstood your argument.
Be aware that the comments on your individual marking sheets often only identified the general area in which your mistake was located. The marking notes in the solution key go into those issues in great detail.
If your error was similar one of those, you need to explicitly address WHY your mistake was NOT the one we described in the marking notes. Appeals that do not contain such arguments will not be considered
- For example, in P2, many students did not provide a FULL explanation of correctness of the recurrence.
- In P 3, some students though the problem could be solved by using 2-split 2 times (it can't)
- In P 3, 4, 5 many students did not explain the meaning of their recurrence.
- In P 6, many students were not careful with the range of minimization.

All of these issues are explained in detail in the marking notes In general, appeals that make an error listed in the marking notes will not be considered. If you are appealing one of those questions you need to explicitly explain why what you wrote was NOT a marking note error.
