<p>Sorry, accidentally hit the post button, </p>
<p>this is why:
My team consists of three members including myself, we are all Asian.
At the beginning of the semester, we had initially planned to create an eCommerce website.
This was because most of what we learned in college was on css, html and python. We felt confidant that we could create a really nice capstone project.</p>
<p>Our professor flat out rejected this idea and told us it wouldn’t be advanced enough for Capstone.
He insisted that we do app development, creating a game or service.
We told him we had zero experiencing coding in c# or java, and really does not reflect on the skills we learned over the past four years. He does not agree and we end up changing our idea into an app game project.
We were set back a few weeks with our idea changes and were informed that we were one of the worst teams in the class, due to the setbacks.</p>
<p>Fast forward to the Capstone Fair, we were able to complete a vertical slice of our app, it was not fully complete but it was playable and on an Android phone. We had worked hard in learning to code in c# and were proud of what we had accomplished. I felt that despite our setbacks, we should have had a solid B for the class. At the fair I also realize there were several teams that had gone ahead with websites, and there were several teams that also did game app development and had not accomplished what we had. </p>
<p>When I asked one of the groups on the grade they received, they actually received a higher grade despite not even having a working prototype at the Fair. </p>
<p>This made me think about why was our team treated unfairly? We weren’t allowed to create a website despite other teams doing so, and we didn’t receive a similar grade to a team that was worse-off.
The grading of this year long project fell into several broad categories. There were no details on why we received such a low grade other than our professor’s opinion of what we deserved.</p>
<p>My question now is can I appeal this grade? I have already emailed this professor requesting a detailed explanation however I have had no response for the past 3 days. </p>
<p>Thank you for any feedback. </p>
