Resolving Your Incomplete / Continuing Work Grade

This page outlines the logistics of resolving your grade and includes key next steps, policies, and the forms you need to complete.

What should I do first?

You’ll need to be manually enrolled into course platforms like bCourses, Gradescope, PrairieLearn, and EdStem.

To get started, please enroll yourself in our EdStem forum and complete the Incomplete Summer 2025 Registration Form.

Completing this form is required in order to resolve your incomplete this summer.

We’re here to support you — once you fill out the form, we’ll work with you to clarify what you need to finish and grant access to past specs / instructions.

Who should I contact if I have questions?

Your main point of contact for the summer is Stacey Yoo.
The best ways to reach staff are:

  • Posting on EdStem
  • Attending Support Office Hours (listed on the calendar)

For questions specific to incompletes, you can also email cs10@berkeley.edu, but response times will be slower by email.

How can I get a list of assignments I need to complete?

If this is your first time resolving an incomplete, please complete the Incomplete Summer 2025 Registration Form with as much information as possible.

After submitting the form, you can:

  • Make a post on EdStem
  • Visit Stacey’s office hours (messaging ahead of time is recommended)

We will review your current grade and confirm which assignments are missing or incomplete. Once confirmed, you’ll be granted access to a folder containing the relevant past assignment specifications and instructions.

If this is your first time resolving an incomplete, we recommend completing the most updated versions of labs and projects and submitting them to the Summer 2025 (Incomplete) Gradescope.

  • If your original semester used autograders for labs or projects, you may instead submit to the original Gradescope for credit. -If your original semester did not use autograders, you will need to submit your labs on Gradescope and provide that link in your submission (see below for more details).

All submitted work will be graded using the rubric and expectations from the semester you originally took the course. This ensures consistency and fairness in evaluating your completed work.

How do I submit work or assignments?

To ensure your submissions are recorded and reviewed, follow the steps below:

  • Gradescope: Use entry code: PG6DVX on Gradescope to access the CS10 Summer 2025 Gradescope instance (recommended) to submit:
    • Projects 1–4 and the Final Project
    • Reading Quizzes and Lecture Quizzes (by request)
    • Labs
    • Coding portions of exams (if applicable)
  • PrairieLearn: Use the CS10 Summer 2025 PrairieLearn instance to complete:
    • Pyturis (if applicable)
  • Exams: All exams will be taken in person this semester. Dates are listed on the syllabus.
    • Quiz 1 = Quest
    • Quiz 2 = Midterm
    • Quiz 3 = Postterm
    • ❗ Incomplete students may not take second-chance quizzes
  • Google Form: You must also submit each assignment using this Incomplete Submission Form so we can update your gradebook.
  • Please submit the form every time you submit or resubmit an assignment.
  • After an exam, use the same form to confirm your completion.

⚠ Important Notes

  • Submit only the assignments that were required during your original semester of CS10.
  • Labs, projects, and quizzes may be renumbered or revised. Use cs10.org/(your semester) to check the correct versions.
  • Fa22, Sp23, Su23, Fa23, Sp24, Su24, Fa24, Sp25
  • Please note that some old specs may be locked. These lab and project specs can be found in the Incomplete Resource folder that is shared with you. If you are unshare of where to find past assignments or if one is missing please let staff know.
  • Submit a separate Google Form submission for each assignment.

How can I take an exam?

All exams this summer are:

  • In person
  • On paper

As an Incomplete or Continuing Work student, you may only take the first offering of each exam:

  • Quiz 1 (Quest)
  • Quiz 2 (Midterm)
  • Quiz 3 (Postterm)

You are not eligible for retake or second-chance exams.

Check the syllabus for dates.
If you have an emergency or need to request an alternate exam time, please contact us before the exam.

Requesting an Extension for an Incomplete Grade

If you need more time beyond the default Incomplete deadline, you’ll need to file an Incomplete Grade Extension Petition.

You should begin this process at least 30 days before the current deadline.
Only your instructor can submit the final form to your college.

🔒 Important:

  • Only fill out the student section of the form
  • Leave the instructor signature and resolution date blank
  • Upload your filled form to EdStem, and we will complete and submit it

📄 Incomplete Grade Extension Form (PDF)
Unfortunately, we don’t have access to your Incomplete deadline. You can view it on CalCentral under the semester when you originally enrolled in CS10.

What if my Incomplete grade has already lapsed to an ‘F’?

If your grade has lapsed, we are not able to change it ourselves.

Please speak with your college advisor to discuss your options.
Note that reversal is not guaranteed.

If your grade lapsed due to a staff error (e.g., we didn’t submit a form in time), contact us on EdStem immediately so we can investigate.

Receiving Your Final Grade

If you’ve completed all requirements and are ready for your final grade to be posted:

  • Please contact us on EdStem
  • We will confirm your current grade and resolve it in CalCentral

⚠ Grades can only be changed once, so make sure you’re satisfied before finalizing.

For Continuing Work Students

The process for Continuing Work students is nearly identical to resolving an Incomplete.

The only key difference is:

  • You do not need to request an Incomplete Extension

Please follow all other instructions in this guide.
