Academic Plan
For me over the next year and a half while completing my undergraduate degree here at Queen's, academic success for me looks like a Life Sciences degree, but also completing the DIPA certificate program.
While I don't have an extenuating circumstance to get around currently, the main plan for me would revolve around catching up with the work that has already been done in this course. Since we are two weeks into the semester there will have undoubtedly been assignments already submitted as well as possible quizzes, or module notes, or readings to catch up on. I am fully prepared to spend the next week fully focusing on catching up in this course, whether that means attending the instructors office hours to understand concepts I might've missed or submitting all the past assignments in a reasonable time fashion that will be agreed upon between me, and the instructor of the course.
Since I have been in touch with Dr. Beamish I was made aware that there is work for me to catch up on, however, I don't feel that this is anything I cannot handle at this moment. Currently, a lot of my other classes do not have major tests or exams, therefore it would give me adequate time to solely focus on catching up to the rest of this class and then continuing with the normal pace of the course throughout the rest of the semester.
Another reason I feel this won't be of much difficulty is that this is a course that I am genuinely interested in, and while it could count as a course that is part of my degree, it is a course that I am taking out of interest since it aligns with/is mandatory for the DIPA certificate. Taking a course that I am interested in will mean that I am compelled to learn the content and catching up won't be stressful or tolling on my other classes.
I am fully on board to talk further to the instructors as well as an academic coordinator if I feel that that is necessary to successfully complete my semester, but I feel that this will be an easy switch.
Unfortunately, it wasn't able to be completed before the add/drop deadline (Jan. 17) but since it has already been approved by both the DIPA coordinator and Dr. Beamish, I felt the need to apply here for an appeal to be enrolled in HLTH 200 and subsequently, drop GLLPH 385.
