Academic Plan
1. Course of Study
I plan to apply for a biochemistry degree (something I am rather passionate about) and acknowledge the requirements necessary to apply.
I plan to retake (the courses I failed) in my second year:
BIOL 103
BCHM 102
MATH 121
I also plan to sign up for the following courses as well (fall and winter):
BIOL 243
BIOL 218
CHEM 211
CHEM 212
CHEM 222
CHEM 223
As well as any electives needed for me to graduate with the necessary credits.
These in the spring (part-time student so that I may work):
BCHM 218
And two courses from the BCHM_List_A
For my third (and potentially fourth) year, I will take the necessary courses needed to graduate as then I will be a track with the rest of my peers.
3rd year
BCHM 313 - Molecular Biochemistry
BCHM 315 - Proteins and Enzymes
BCHM 316 - Metabolism
BCHM 317 - Introductory Biochemistry Laboratory
2. Full-Time versus Part-Time Status
As a full-time student, I will expect to spend 10 hours working on each course per week. I plan to work with my academic advisor to look over my school plan and make sure that I am on track as well as see them once biweekly to revise over the necessary period of time I will need. Along with my idea to keep timed notifications to keep me on schedule, I will be able to keep a proper scoring on my courses. While I do plan to work during school, my planning this year will account for a scheduled part-time job to ease my financial worries to prevent coursework from being submitted late. Under no circumstances will I carry more than a normal load of 5 courses (15.0 units) per term.
3. Strategies for Success Students
As stated in my letter, I plan to identify my personal issues (my procrastination, my inability to stay attentive to my school work, and my seasonal depression from being away from my family) with help from a therapist to better help me during my schooling on a currently biweekly base during the summer (I will transfer my appointments to monthly sessions to account for my issuance plan as I have to wait for them to assign me a therapist from an agency).
During schooling, along with the monthly online appointments, I will utilize the counseling services with the school's health plan to help me along. For now, I plan to use my scheduling plans as stated above to deal with my procrastination and grow stricter with distractions that could be surrounding my studying area (which won’t be my bed anymore to get me moving around and not becoming stuck in my shifting mood swings). For my seasonal depression, I will use counseling services to help me establish coping mechanisms and strategies to be a better student. My academic advisor will also be aware of this once I began contact.
