Solomon, I hope you are doing fine. I wanted to discuss my grade with you. I received an 'F' because I didn't cite my references. I worked really hard for this class, staying up until 4 am every day to pass. I feel like all of that effort was wasted. Is there any chance you could reconsider and give me another opportunity? I know some other instructors are more lenient and willing to work with students. I can't afford to repeat this class and fall behind. As a former student yourself, I'm sure you understand how frustrating this situation is. I would appreciate your guidance on what steps I can take to improve my grade. Thank you for your understanding.
