I did all the extra credit in SONA and going to the discussion on Wednesdays. I…

Whenever you receive my final transcript from the University of Alabama, you will notice I received a grade of a “D” in one of my final courses. This is the first and only class in my life I have ever received a grade lower than a C- in. I have a genuine explanation of why I have done so poorly in this class for the semester.

I have graded myself an 8 on the AP rubric. I have graded myself this numerical score because I constructed a sound thesis: “The author utilizes a parody and logical fallacies- portrayed as logos- to satirize how products are marketed to consumers.” Following my thesis, I directly analyzed how the author used these two devices to mock product advertisement.

I am writing to inform you about administration’s proposition to change grading policies for major level courses and the turmoil it has created amongst students. A change this substantial will greatly affect students going forward, and the pros/cons should be weighed out effectively before moving forward.
