Letter Writing

Writing an appeal/petition against a professor?

Hello,

I am a student at the University of Maryland and I currently wrote a 5 page report on my professor about breaking 3 school policies throughout the semester:

  1. Arbitrary and capricious grading
  2. Releasing student academic student records without consent
  3. Sale of class material for instructor profit

The reason I am now reporting my findings is because I recently investigated school policies to see whether my professor was guilty of and found them last night, November 7th, 2011. I have experienced unnecessary emotional distress and am extremely disatisfied with the professors teaching. I feel that I have not gained an enriching educational experience due to an unorganization and lack efforts on making course expectations and assignments clear in syllabus. I request this course to either be reimbursed by allowing me to take it with another professor, or allowing me to take two classes in order to make up for lost money, time, educational experience, disruption in other classes, embarrasment by peers, and exposure to identity theft.

I do not know exactly how to start the letter. Is there anyway I can use my report in it? I wrote the report in third person because I felt it sounded more professional. Please give me feedback and suggestions as the semester is almost over and I need to take care of this asap.

Thank you for you're care and advice.

-C.T

Start you letter by stating who you are, where you live and how the reader can contact you. Then, clearly and concisely state the accusations you have against the professor in question. After you have done that, present your proof in a clear, unbiased manner.
