Petition Letter: I have been suffering from an intermittent but ongoing medical issue from early February to late March. During that time, I keep throwing up, getting a headache and metralgia. It is hard for me to sleep and attend classes. My average mark for all my six courses significantly dropped from above 90 to 60 or even 40. One of the courses I apply for is cisc332, I failed the first quiz since I only slept 3hrs per day for that week. Since the lack of sleep, it was hard to memorized or study, I can¿¿t focus at all. I spend the whole week only working on this test, but it was not working. No matter how hard I try, I can¿¿t memorize anything. On May, I have the second quiz on this course, my situation was not getting better. To avoid being unable to concentrate on the quiz, I forced myself slept the whole day before the exam. On the other hand, I spent longer time on studying and reviewing. Even though I try really hard on this one, I get 60 as the result. These two quizzes weight 45 of the final mark. The same thing happened to my cisc260, all my marked except quiz 2 and quiz3 are in A level. Both quiz 2 and quiz3, which contents were taught by Feb to March, I got C (letter grade). These two quizzes weight 41.25 of the final mark.
