Dear Dr. Bénard,
I am writing this appeal to be enrolled into PHGY210 Summer May/July session which began a couple days ago. I understand this summer class is condensed and there is work I will need to make up, if I am fortunate enough to be given the chance.
In Winter 2017 I took this same PHGY210 online course and feel that I was not able to devote the necessary attention to master this class. I struggled with a demanding final exam schedule, five exams in five days, and to be honest I was very disappointed with my final grade. I know I could have done better if I was able to give more time and attention to this course.
I am confident that if PHGY210 is my sole focus I will be able to dedicate my full attention in order to completely grasp the entire course material. I am not committed to anything that would take my attention away this class i.e. no job or other studies. This course will be my number one priority.
Thank you for your consideration of my appeal.
Kindest regards,
Sam de Belle-Mitton

Academic Plan
Academic Plan: Academic Plan for Success
In order to be successful in this online class I will commit a minimum of 25 hours a week to these studies. I know this summer online class is condensed and there is material that I am prepared to make up. I am fully dedicated to put as much time as needed to make up the material I have missed. I do not have any other distractions to take my attention away from this course.
Of interest is in Summer 2016 I enrolled in PHGY170, an online class which I fully enjoyed. With this online class being my sole focus I was able to master the course material and obtained an A as a final grade.
