Petition Letter
Petition Letter: From 2020 to 2021, due to the activities of the novel coronavirus epidemic, the courses of the whole year were changed to online courses, which brought me a lot of troubles and troubles. My grades during that period were not satisfactory, and I hope to improve my GPA through these. Because I was a freshman at that time, I was not very clear about the relevant contact information of the school or the setting of some office institutions. After class, I asked my classmates and contacted teachers. I knew this way, so I apply now, I hope you can agree with my request
Academic Plan
Academic Plan: I'm Chen Tony. After my analysis of the whole last academic two years 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 WRIT 125 in this summer vacation, because I want to improve my writing ability during this period and make better preparation for the next semester.
4. 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.
