Dear Sir,

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with my currently enrolled course, Business 101.

As a BBA student, attending Business 101 and passing it is the foundational thing for this degree. This course supposed to involves the basic understanding of the domestic as well as the international businesses. However, it is been a 2 weeks of attending this course and I have not yet got to know about any academical knowledge of trades. Instead of explain properly, professor always skims the power point slides and unable to provide a logical answer whenever he has been asked by any students. Sometimes, he even use AI for answering though. He spends his most of time on rather phone or in talking on irrelevant subjects which are apart from studies. For 3 hours long course, we got taught for around 2 hours only. As a result, our questions remains uncleared and unsolved.

We students are paying a high amount of fees for better education and this kind of behaviour should not be considerable. Being a director of the university, I am requesting you to please transfer me in another class with another professional instructor where I can expand my knowledge. If it can not be happened, I would like to go for course drop option. I hope you look into this urgent matter to your nearest convenience.

I will looking forward for your reply.

Sincerely,

Umitsinh

Task Response

The letter addresses all three bullet points: it identifies the course (Business 101), describes problems (superficial teaching, use of AI, irrelevant topics, shortened class time), and suggests action (transfer to another class or course drop). The tone is appropriate and the purpose is clear. However, there are minor lapses: the phrase 'Being a director of the university' is inaccurate (the student is addressing the course director, not claiming to be one), and the request for transfer could be more diplomatically phrased. To improve, ensure accurate role identification and consider a more collaborative suggestion, such as requesting a review of the teaching quality.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally organized but has some lapses in coherence. The flow is disrupted by awkward phrasing and unclear connections between ideas. Paragraphing is present but could be more effectively managed. Consider using clearer topic sentences and transition words to improve the logical progression of your points.

Lexical Resource

The vocabulary is adequate but lacks sophistication and precision. There are some inappropriate word choices (e.g., 'academical knowledge', 'considerable') and repetitive phrasing. To improve, use more varied and accurate vocabulary, and avoid informal expressions like 'use AI for answering though'.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

There are frequent grammatical errors, including subject-verb agreement ('course supposed to involves'), tense issues ('it is been'), and incorrect word forms ('explain' instead of 'explaining'). Punctuation is also inconsistent. Focus on basic grammar structures and proofread carefully to reduce errors.
