Dear Professor,
I want to first start off by saying I wanted to sincerely apologize for the way I have handled this situation. And the emotional responses I showed, I made you uncomfortable in your office, and I feel embarrassed, regretful, and guilty. I take full responsibility for how I acted, and I apologize; you didn't deserve that.
I want to thank you for the class you have taught and the material in this course. From personal experience, my resume before taking this class was filled with mistakes; I had no executive summary, my major title was incorrect, my resume had color, and many more things. Thanks to what I learned, I added an executive summary, fixed my major, and made it the best it could be.
I also learned the importance of researching the company you are interviewing for and asking questions after the interview. During the semester, I reached the second round of interviews with both Charles Schwab and Truist, and I truly believe that applying what | learned in your class helped me get that far. I wanted to make sure | acknowledged that and thanked you for it.
I thought I'd give my due diligence and thank you, as there's no doubt I wouldn't have gotten that far without applying what | learned.
I am writing to respectfully ask whether you would be willing to review my Final Mock Interview score. I was awarded 10/15 points for not using the "T" in START to tie back what | learned from this conflict to the role I was applying for.
During the video interview, my response was:
AP, and how they relate to finance roles."
"The biggest takeaway was learning how to handle conflict professionally and directly, while still being respectful. It also showed me that small processes can be improved and have a big impact on overall team efficiency. Especially, in AR and AP, and how they relate to finance roles”
The problem, I believe, is that the final sentence, "especially, in AR and AP and how they relate to finance roles," was attached to Q4 (how do you think you did) and not Q3. I cannot say for certain what happened in the moment, but | believe l may have been rushing, nervous, trying to finish my thought before time expired, and/or could have accidentally started the next question.
I understand that this does not excuse anything, but I wanted to respectfully explain why I believe I did attempt to make the tie-back.
I want to state that because of the way this class is structured with prerequisites, I would have to take it again in the summer and then the final class in the Fall. Due to financial constraints, I can't extend to Fall. Even with every financial aid that I can receive, I cannot afford it, so in essence, my degree depends on my passing this class.
I understand that all of this, me being in this position, is all due to me and my actions and effort. Assignment 1 not being submitted to Vmock is my responsibility; I should have double-checked. It is also my responsibility for not checking my emails, which explained that the final Week of class was cancelled. It is my responsibility for the grade I have and the grades I have gotten.
This situation has serious academic and financial consequences for me, but I understand that this cannot determine the grading decision. I only mention it to explain why I reacted emotionally and why I have been so anxious about the
situation.
I want to apologize and ask if those 5 points can be reviewed since I did tie it back in question 4.
Again, I sincerely apologize for how I handled this.
I appreciate your time, your consideration, and everything I learned in GEB.
Thank you for your time,
