Dear Student,

I applaud the fact that you are doing everything possible to avoid taking math. I understand your loathing and detestation for the subject and your belief that math has absolutely nothing to do with the "real world". However, in your zeal to avoid the subject, and any of the possible prerequisites, the D grade you received through the independent study class (that brilliantly does not require any prerequisites or placement testing) is not sufficient for your math credit here, as I know it should be. We will therefore take into account the fact that you even attempted the course and give you credit for trying. Hopefully this is a sufficient solution to your problem.

Oh, and best of luck next semester in your statistics class that is required for the major. Hopefully your faculty will be just as sympathetic.


Sincerely,
Me
