    The grade that I received for my Macroeconomics class, ECON 1402, taught by Professor Ardavan Mobasheri in Spring 2016, is not reflective of the effort I put into the class and is the result of various issues regarding how the class strayed from the syllabus. I wish to request a grade change for the overall class. After passing my Microeconomics class in the Fall, I had hoped that I would do well in my Macroeconomics class the following semester. I received an F for the class which means that if I cannot receive a better grade, I will have to take it again in the fall semester of 2016 as it is required for my double-major in International Relations and Modern Languages. In terms of grading, we were graded based on four items: the midterm exam, the final exam, homework assignments, and class participation/attendance.…
