Question

Suppose you have some kind of an disability in your right hand which makes your handwriting unclear... You just finished your semester examination and you are writing a letter to a senior lecturer/professor informing your situation and kindly requesting her to mark your paper with extra attention.

How can I include this in a email and send it to a senior lecturer/professor?

I'm asking this help, because English is not my mother language..

Many thanks!

Answer 1

You are sending an email*

Answer 2

After the fact "explanations" are at a disadvantage to endure sympathy. You need to apologize for not coming forth sooner...As a teacher, I have come to disbelieve many of these "explanations".
Don't ask for "extra attention". That sounds much like "extra credit" you didn't earn. Explain your situation. I once missed a final exam in calculus at UTexas my freshman year, due to unforseen military transfer (1961 Berlin Crisis). I wrote a letter to the instructor via the Dept head...she forwarded the exam to my Ship's Captain, and the exam was taken at sea, proctored by my division officer in a North Sea storm....I could barely write on my exam due to the seas. I passed. Things do happen.

Answer 3

I agree with bobpursley. Don't send such an email!
