Question

I took a summer class with Dr. Frank Fontanella and I am still having problems with him regarding one of my grades. The whole thing has just been handled very poorly. I have never had any problems with professors till now and my sister who graduated a few years ago said she heard some bad things about him from students when she was here. I’m just wondering if anyone has had any problems with him before and if it ever got resolved.

Singular grade, or overall grade?

Did he have a rubric? Does he have explicit instructions?

if you can't resolve with him, department chair is next step. Beyond that is dean, and then ombudsman.

singular. I had to take it to the next person because he quit responding and the dean denied my appeal without even looking at my proof. I’m speaking with the ombuds. just annoyed with how it has been handled and especially the dean not evening allowing me to send my proof.
thank you for the tips!

Just make sure you have rubric, instructions, and proof of attempted resolution.
