,Dear Dr
I am Saaaaaaaaaam a prospective applicant for PhD program in Economics at your university. As I want to apply for admission as well as scholarship for the program, I need your guidance about the following matter:
As you can find on my B.A transcribe, I did not spend enough time for getting high grade on Calculus and Linear Algebra. However, I have done a considerable experience in teaching and doing research in finance which I have studied lots of books to cop with this gap. In this case, as a evidence for having a good command in Calculus and Linear Algebra, I am thinking of having a Diploma in one or both of the following courses. These courses are run by
ALISON (http://alison.com) as the world's leading free online learning resource for basic and essential workplace skills.
1-
DIPLOMA IN MATHEMATICS: "The free online Diploma in Mathematics course from ALISON gives you a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of key subjects in mathematics. This course covers calculus, geometry, algebra, trigonometry, functions, vectors, data distributions, probability and probability and statistics. Math qualifications are in great demand from employers and this Diploma will greatly enhance your career prospects."
2-
DIPLOMA IN STATISTICS: "Statistics and statistical methods play a major role in the work environment in areas such as business, science, finance, economics, engineering to mention just a few. It is very important that people are comfortable with reading statistics and using statistical methods. This free online Diploma in Statistics will give you the knowledge and understanding of basic statistical methods such as sampling and collecting data, probability, distributions, regression analysis. By completing this course you will gain the knowledge and understanding to confidently read statistics and apply statistical methods within your daily working environment."
Alison motioned on their webpage that : "ALISON courses track well-known, accepted standards of learning. The main standards we adhere to – which apply to over half our courses - are those instituted by the ECDL Foundation / Microsoft Corporation, (IT Literacy), the British Council ((English Learning), and the Australian High School standards (maths courses, science courses, etc.). To keep the courses freely accessible online, we do not issue, and cannot issue, certifications directly from these particular institutions (as they would all involve fees which would have to be passed on to the learner). However, we do provide a Certificate of Completion to state that the individual has learned the same required knowledge/skill-set. Where ALISON has a distinct advantage on all institutional certification is that an ALISON graduate can be challenged to sit an ALISON test at anytime online to prove that they retain the standard of knowledge certified by the Certification of Completion. With other certificates, what a certification suggests is that at one time, in the past, the holder achieved a particular standard.
Would you please let me know If I study this courses, are they be recognized as a creditable diploma for demonstrating my ability on Calculus and Linear Algebra for your university?
It is good to be mentioned that I want to apply for scholarship and I want to increase my chance for being offered PhD scholarship.
The attachments of this email are as follows:
• Certified copies of awarded certificates, transcripts or testamurs,
• Curriculum Vitae
I am looking forward to hearing from you
Best Regards
Saaaaaaam
