Academic Plan
My academic plan begins with achieving at least a B- in the two online courses I am taking this summer, which will put me above a 1.6 cumulative GPA. I am taking these courses because they can show my commitment to my education through successful completion as well as teach me time management strategies for next term. Currently enrolled in a Bachelor of Arts Honors degree (general arts and science major), changing this and enrolling in Political studies as a major at the end of the summer term is another milestone for my plan. In terms of future courses, I have viewed the road map for Political studies and noted the courses needed in my curriculum; these courses will be included in my workload this year. Taking the two courses I have failed in my career at Queens again following this summer is a good idea to raise my GPA, along with actively seeking assistance from the Learning Strategies Counselors. After careful review, I will not be changing to a part time student; however five courses in the first term might not be setting myself up for success, so I will be only taking 12.0 units in the fall term. Depending on how that goes in the fall, the workload will either increase by 3 units or continue with 4 per term for the winter. I am missing out on several units and have acknowledged a fifth year is most likely in my future. This plan is both meaningful and measurable, and combines the focus of my studies, my expectations towards future workloads, and most importantly strategies to set myself up for success.
