Petition Letter
Petition Letter: Hello, vice dean (research), I hope you can rescind my punishment. Because I'm here for a reason. Last year early November 2020 to early February 2021 there was a time I have some psychological problems, during that time I am very be agitated, so when I wake up sleeping in the evening, or night sleep, I also consult professional psychology doctor's advice, the symptom is light, he said I don't need medication, only need to adjust myself, my condition is not very good at that time, I can't finish I come to class in complete silence and often can't sleep at night. I don't know why this happened to me. It may be due to illness caused by the online course. This may be one of the reasons, but after my adjustment, I think I have no problem now and the symptoms are gone. May be upset when I started the clock, the time I state of the whole people is not very good, every day I feel very sleepy, sleep the feeling and can't sleep at night, I feel the time is a tough day for me, I am sitting in front of my computer, looked at textbooks and topic, I could concentrate on just a few minutes of time, I can't concentrate on my studies for long periods of time, and after a few minutes my mind will think of other things, which is probably a sign of not getting enough rest. However, after my adjustment, my overall condition is getting better and better now. My score in the winter of 2020 should be better than that in the autumn. It is a pity that all the courses I choose are 6.0units, which is also a very important thing that I will talk about in the academic plan.
Academic Plan
Academic Plan: After my analysis of the whole last academic year these days, I now know where my problems were. First of all, I made a mistake in course selection last September. I chose the annual course of 6units instead of the semester course of 3units, which might be more suitable for me. Now I find that the difficulty and pressure of an annual course of 6units is very high. Once again, I did not carefully read the syllabus of the course when selecting the course, which is also an important reason for my mistake in selecting the course. Now I find that the syllabus is very important for selecting the course, which is our previous estimate of the difficulty of this course. And to predict whether they can stick to it well. I might have preferred to listen to others' advice, but their advice on choosing a course might not be right for me. Another reason is that I did not adapt myself to the pace of online courses well in the autumn last year, so my scores at the beginning of the semester were relatively poor. However, my scores in winter gradually improved, because I began to adapt to the pace, which was also my own reason, and I did not make sufficient predictions for the difficulties.
Next is my academic plan for the next academic year
1. I will fully understand the course before selecting the course, carefully read the syllabus of the course, and contact the professors or teaching assistants who are teaching the course. I will ask them about the difficulty of the course, the grading form, and what we will learn. If possible, I will prepare for the course first.
2. I think the biggest difficulty I faced last semester was the trouble brought to me by course selection. This semester, I will work more carefully to make a suitable course plan for myself. Secondly, I think the online course is also a big challenge for me in the autumn course, but I found a way in the winter semester, and this problem has been successfully solved.
3. I also took the course of Academic Writing100 in this summer vacation, because I want to improve my writing ability during this period and make better preparation for the next semester.
4. I think my last year's course in general is difficult for me, because I only think my math is not my strengths, but when I heard the others say mathematics curriculum will be more simple, and generally get the scores is higher, but unfortunately the result is on the contrary, the mathematics curriculum is not so simple, I think and I also learned two door, This led to great pressure on the course I was shooting. So in the next semester, I will choose some suitable courses according to my own ability.
5. In terms of learning methods, I will choose to be more flexible, and will not blindly knock something like the original. When some courses find that they are not suitable for me, I will choose to drop them decisively. In addition, I will also increase the connection with Teaching Assitant and ask some questions about the course. I myself will increase the study time of my weak subjects.
These are my plans for the next semester, and the preparation work. Finally, I am confident that I can get a good grade in the next semester. I hope you can consider it.
