Scenario #3: Email to a Professor About a Grading Concern You received a grade much lower than expected on a major speech assignment. You know you did not do your best work on the assignment and could have tried harder, but are now worried that you won’t pass the class. Draft an email to your professor explaining your concern and asking for help. Write your message: Include a subject line. Use appropriate greeting, body, and sign-off. Maintain a professional tone—avoid slang, blame, or emotional language. Demonstrate principles of competent mediated communication (clarity, respect, and awareness that messages are powerful, public, and permanent)
