Petition Letter

Petition Letter: On Monday I switched out of film 312 class to join into FILM 303. I was very much looking forward to the class. On September 18, during my first class in FILM 303 I walked in and noticed the TA was a student that was in my class the last year. When he was a student last year we had a big disagreement in class on our personal religions and beliefs. Due to this history, don’t feel comfortable with him as my TA given our different views and would request that I get permission to switch into another course.

Academic Plan

Academic Plan: If the petition is granted I plan to reach out to Professor J. Kim who's the professor for class FILM 214, Mobile Communications and Professor M. Nielissen the professor of EMPR 210. These being so far the only classes that have room and line up with my schedule, I discussed with an academic advisor (Sandra) which she told me I'd be reaching out proposing to join the course for me to then get back on track and have the right amount of credits that would go towards my graduating transcript. Out of the two classes I am hoping to join FILM 214, as it lines up with my interest and skills.
