Chemical Dreams

Dear Professor,

Okay, you want to give me a grade that would be hard to swing an overall 3.0.  You know not having 3.0s will cause graduate students to leave the program since they can no longer have financial support.  Honestly, besides the project, I have no idea how you can justify such a grade as my performance is not that different from everyone else in the course.  Yes, I will come talk to you today to discuss why my grade is what it is after a night of un-restful sleep from the stress and worry about my fate at the university.  This talk will also likely result in me going to speak to the graduate adviser about how I feel I have been treated in this course and transferring two graduate courses from my undergraduate institution that *should* save me no matter what happens here even without the grade I need to balance this bad grade.

Sincerely,

Me

P.S. I am really curious how you decided to give me this grade when for my project: 1) somebody who is passing didn’t run a simulation and 2) at least 2 other people didn’t finish.  All you have told me is you didn’t like my dynamics.
