E for Chemistry... sadly...

Dear Professor,

I am student from the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering Year 2.

I am writing in with regards to a failure in a repeated module, G167/FE1003 Chemistry.

I studied very hard for this module, hoping to just clear it as i always had a problem understanding the concepts of chemistry. This is due to the fact that i did not sudy A level chemistry when i was in the Junior College. I sought help from people around me in an attempt to understand the module better. However, during the semester, i was admitted to hospital and had an operation. I was on medical leave for 2 weeks and when i came back to school, i found it even harder to catch up with the lectures and tutorials as i also had to catch up on my year 2 modules. I sat for the paper and found it extremely difficult.

Is it possible for me to take another module that is related to the course i am pursuing instead of repeating chemistry again? Since my interest is towards EEE, it would be easier and more relevant for me that way. I would like to spend more time on my core modules (ie those related to EEE) and since chemistry would not be what i intend to pursue in the future, i hope you can understand and take my appeal into consideration.

I really hope you can understand my situation.

Thanks for your time and sorry for any inconveniences caused.

Yours Sincerely,
Ong Zee Yun
