I apologize about that and I take all of my classes very seriously and plan to do well in this one. Thanks for the .”
“Hi, I’m contacting you for the reason of an upcoming test, with the concerns on it and my current grade in intro to psychology. I have been studying this entire week for the test, I will look into getting extra help for this test because I want to do good on it.”

9. Feedback From Students (Kudos)
This was sure a pleasant surprise! Thank you for the recognition and encouragement, I will continue to work my hardest.
Thanks for the great words of encouragement.  I love the class and especially his lectures!
Thank u for this letter! I really enjoy the class and the teacher encourages me a lot so that I can keep improving. Many thanks to him.
I appreciate you taking the time to congratulate me on my performance in this course. There is a lot of value in a simple message of encouragement and positive reinforcement. Your message was very classy, and it made me feel a sense of connection that often lacks in distance learning. I am enjoying the course and look forward to continuing to improve as a writer. Again, thank you.
