Dear sir/madam,
I would like to inquire about my assignment for the subject CDMT2103.
First, apologies if I chose the wrong sub category for this inquiry as this is the first time I find it necessary to use this.

I would like to inquire about my assignment. The person marking it has deemed that my assignment is a "Copy Paste from Internet" type of assignment. While I would be the first to agree that this problem is quite prevalent among students nowadays, I would however take exception when that is pointed at me. Especially considering the fact that I have written all of the text in the assignment (aside from the format) myself.

I would also like to point out that the person marking it said that there are no references at all. I would like to point out that I have put as complete a reference I could compile, barring Copy-Pasting from the website I referred from. Not to be insulting, but did the person marking it properly read my assignment? Or did he/she just gave it a cursory glance and deeming it long and TOO HARD TO READ, labeled my assignment as a copy paste? While I usually have respect for lecturers, this occasion has called that into doubt. If lecturers/person marking couldn't be bothered to read at least the first paragraph, then what are they doing as a lecturer? Because make no mistake, THE WHOLE assignment was written by me and I only made referrences to the source, NOT copy paste. This would seem to support the popular view that lecturers are only there for the easy money, but not the responsibility inherent in educating us students.

I am sorry if this inquiry seems too hostile. However, I would like to point out that I have no problem with the other 2 subjects as they were fair and it seems that was what my effort was worth. In fact, the other subject, CDAD 2103, the marker was very polite and even gave constructive criticism. So I would expect at least a show of evidence IF ITS TRUE that I COPY PASTED. The references are there in the assignment as I don't have any fear of the person marking to check. The only question left is, DID HE/SHE CHECK?

Thank you for your time. I would expect at least a feedback if no action is taken. Should you need me to translate this inquiry into Bahasa Melayu, I would only be happy to do so as I would like my inquiry to be easily understood and acted upon.

Attached is the assessment result. I couldn't attach my assignment, however, I don't doubt that you still have the assignment I sent. Should it have been deleted however, I would only be too happy to send my assignment again via e-mail

Thanks and Best regards.
