Question:
You're enrolled in Professor Lastman’s European History course, which meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays. You were absent last Thursday because of a scheduled medical appointment, and as a result you missed a short in-class quiz that counts toward your participation grade.
Write an email to your professor. In your email, do the following:
> Explain why you were absent and that you understand you missed the quiz.
> Ask whether you can make up the quiz or complete an alternate assignment.
> Ask if there’s anything else you should review to stay caught up.
My answer:
Dear Professor Lastman,
Greetings. I hope you are doing well. I am writing this email to let you know that I was absent from your last Thursday class, as I had a scheduled medical appointment. I apologize for the inconvenience. I missed the short in-class quiz that you took in that class. The quiz is important for me as it will count toward my participation grade. Could you give me a chance to make up the quiz? If you want me to complete an assignment instead of taking another quiz, it will also be fine for me. Let me know what is suitable for you. Also, would it be possible to let me know if I need to review anything to stay caught up?
Thank you for your time & reading this email.
Sincerely,
[My name]
