Academic Plan
I am in first year, and my plan is to do a Political Sciences Specialization as well as a Law Certificate. STAT 161 is not a requirement for this degree plan, I had originally taken it due to what I believed the course was- but engaging with the content has made me realize that it will not only effect my plans for after first year by bringing my GPA down- it is also not going to be familiar content for my classes next year as well. My goal for my first year of studies is to maintain a good GPA in order to be able to do my degree plan, and I would like to have the best possible chance of achieving this- meaning swapping STAT161 with PHAR100 (Online) in order to upkeep a good GPA. STAT161 has effected my mental health state, and I am worried for my academic performance in the event that I stay within the course, which in the long run will influence if I am able to take my desired degree plan. PHAR100 does not disrupt my current timetable, and aligns with my interests as well as ability to succeed in completing my goal for first year. This is my Academic Plan for swapping STAT161 with PHAR100 (Online) to further the success towards entering my degree plan as of second year.
