Dear Professor Fielden:
We are students from San Diego State university. During the study in our school, we have discovered a serious problem. In this proposal memo, I will describe this problem as well as solutions. We are willing this proposal will get attention from students, professors and headquarter of our school.
Unfair Study Condition
Professors have different grading standards and course contents. The grading policies of different professors are usually diverse when they are teaching identical courses. The vary grading standards causes most of students pay more attention on professors' easiness than their teaching quality. Students who have early enrollment period often check on websites about their professors in order to take simple classes. So the rest of students can only choose courses with tough graders. Our audiences are students, professors and headquarters. Additionally, ESL students are often suffering from language issues. Judging their grades with the same grading policies as local students at their freshman year is unfair.
Solution is Standardization
School or headquarter of each departments should have the same grading policies and identical course content. It will be even better if the tests are standardized. For ESL students, it will better if they can have a simple grading policy at their first year so they can have enough time to deal with language issue. Moreover, giving them a second chance to retake the course will be even nicer.
Standardization Benefits
Students will focus on professors' teaching skills instead of their easiness and they will have a fair academic environment. Students will also receive a fair judgement and evaluation of their learning condition. What's more, the unfairness from different course enrollment period will disappear. For ESL students, they can solve their language barrier at their freshman year and have better grade and performance in their courses later on.
Thank you for spending time to consider our proposal memo.
Sincerely,
Dan Wang Jixiang Wang Yuan Wu Weilin Huang
