Petition Letter
To whom it may concern,
I am Anjali Sookdeo, a first-year student at Queens University hoping to major in Political Studies. Student Number: 20339516
After a few weeks (approximately 3 weeks) in the economics course (ECON 110A), it has been immensely stressful taking this course. My anxiety and stress levels are rising and I am devoting majority of my time studying for this course. Unfortunately, due to these circumstances, my various other classes (PHIL 115A, POLS 110A, PSYC 100A) are at risk of lower grades . Moreover, I worry that this issue will result in potential failure since I devote most of my time to understanding economics. I did not take mathematical courses in grade 12, and I am at a disadvantage compared to those who have taken courses such as data management to help. These are one of the reasons I am genuinely struggling with the course. Additionally, since I am in a state of distress due to this course, I am changing my recently planned major in PPE to an undergraduate honours in political studies. If I were to pursue economics, my averages could immensely decrease. If my averages drop. my hope of applying to the Law School at Queens and getting accepted would be nearly impossible with a low average and inadequate grades.
Concerning the course I would like to switch into, GNDS 120 would greatly benefit me since many of the units involve studies from political perspectives. This would advance my knowledge in politics and assist me in my major in the political field. Moreover, I have emailed the teacher asking permission to join her course, and she has agreed since there are available seats.
Thank you so much for your help, I truly hope you will allow my appeal.
Sincerely,
Anjali Sookdeo
