I failed Sociology 101 for the second time this last fall semester. I need to take it for a third time. In actuality the reasons I failed was because of lack of organization and time management; missed assignments and quizzes online, overall I didn’t give the course my best effort.<\/p>\n

I need to re-take this class a 3rd time, I have the grade replacement option and I know I will do better now that I have my priorities in order. However, I need to appeal to my university in order to take it a 3rd time.<\/p>\n

Here is what a counselor told me to do :<\/p>\n

“You will need to petition SOC101 for a 3rd time<\/p>\n

You will need to write very specifically and convincingly why you should be granted a 3rd time to take this class. It’s not guaranteed that you will be granted this option simply by submitting the form, they still can say no ”<\/p>\n

On the form they ask for the reason for the request to repeat the class for a 3rd time. Should I be frank and give the honest reasons which are stated above?<\/p>\n

Would you be kind enough to give some suggestions or advice?<\/p>\n

Thank you<\/p><\/div>\n

??????????????????????-<\/p>\n

Do you really want SOC101? Are you considering a major in sociology? I know you didn’t ask my opinion but you know what … that’s right … I’m going to give it to you.<\/p>\n

If you have failed it twice from lack of organization or time management, then maybe you aren’t interested in the material. Which is fine … trust me I’ve taken my fair share of classes that I couldn’t care less about, but you might want to reassess your interests. If? you haven’t been doing well in the 100 level course, the odds are other SOC classes aren’t going to interest you either.<\/p>\n

BUT … ultimately it’s your life and you can do what you want (to extent … no murder or anything).<\/p>\n

My suggestion would be to be honest with them, like what you said to me. Explain the situation that prevented you from doing well in the course. From what I hear, petitions are usually granted to severe cases (ie prolonged illness, depression etc), but if’s always worth a shot.<\/p>\n

ta, my friend,<\/p>\n
