I have carefully read through your feedback regarding [Specific area they deducted points, e.g., the formatting of the citations]. After reviewing the syllabus and the original grading rubric provided on [Date], it appears that [Cite the specific contradiction: e.g., the rubric stated MLA format was acceptable, but points were deducted for not using APA]. Because of this discrepancy, I am respectfully requesting that my paper be re-evaluated in alignment with the original rubric parameters. I value your class and the feedback you have provided me this semester, and I want to ensure my academic record accurately reflects my understanding of the material. I am available during your office hours on [Day] to discuss this in person if you prefer. Thank you for your time and consideration. Best regards, [Your Name] [Student ID]
💡 Pro Tip
Leave emotion out of this entirely. Never say 'I worked hard so I deserve an A.' Only appeal grades based on objective discrepancies between the grading rubric and the final deduction.
