I appealed two of my grades at the U of C and it was a worthwhile process. In one of the courses, my grade end up two entire letter grades...deservedly though. It takes more work, and even if the grade doesn't get changed it shows the Profs they should be accountable for their grades. In one of my classes we had to talk with the department head about the grading and the prof ended up getting reprimanded as well.

I would say the Participation Grade of 25% first of all is ludicrous, that tells me she's being lazy. Secondly, reading your justification I think you have a case, for sure.

I would definitely try and appeal the grade.

Did you participate in class at all? Because an 8/25 is a really low grade....if you showed up for 75% of the classes and participated, that should be somewhere in the 16-18 out of 25 I would think.
