sent another email — subject H u m a n i t i e s

The following email was received at the end of the semester after the student received his grade. This student’s case is an example of what not to do — not listen to professor, not understand the requirements of the course, not follow directions and not come to class regularly. In addition, it is not a good idea to repeatedly beg the professor, send poorly written emails that suggest you are not college material, try to get the professor to change your earned grade at the end of the semester and hold the professor responsible for saving your future.

Instructions: Revise the email from the student to make it ONE email questioning the grade and then create a response from the professor. Keep in mind, the professor is not going to change the grade as he/she feels the student did not earn the grade he is requesting. Remember the relationship and tone. Keep your email clear and concise. Include any information you feel has been omitted.
