2. Rescheduling for Emergencies.
When emergencies arise during the exam period, such as personal illness, severe family illness, death in the family, etc., a student should contact the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs immediately in order to make arrangements for rescheduling, if appropriate. Because of the anonymous grading system, the student should not contact the instructor.
3. Emergencies Arising During an Exam.
If an emergency arises during an exam, a student should notify the Dean's Office immediately. Arrangements will be made for rescheduling, if appropriate. To preserve the anonymity of the grading process, the student should not contact the instructor.
Part 6 GRADES Anonymous Grading Numbers All exams, whether take-home or timed in a classroom, will be graded anonymously. Students may access their “Blind Grading ID” number online through Athena at http://athena.uga.edu. Students are assigned a new anonymous exam number at the beginning of each semester and that Grading ID should be used for every course during that term to identify the student. Blind Grading ID’s will be different for each student and will be confidential. No professor will have any knowledge of a particular student’s Grading ID number.
Law School Grading Policy To ensure a measure of uniformity in grading policies, the faculty has instituted the following regulations:
1. First-Year Grades The average grade in each first-year course must fall within the range of 2.9-3.1 based on the Law School's grading system (A+ = 4.3; A = 4.0; A- = 3.7; B+ = 3.3, etc.). The grades of non-J.D. students will be disregarded for purposes of this policy. Variation from this rule is permissible only in extraordinary circumstances, which must be outlined by the instructor in a letter to the Dean. Suggested guidelines, which are not mandatory, are: • Maximum 33% "A" grades (including A+ and A-) • Maximum 33% grades of C+ or lower • Maximum of two A+ grades
