Academic Plan
In terms of academics, a full course load at both the University of Otago and the University of Canterbury is 3-4 courses. If I were to attend either school, I would take 4 papers, translating back to Queen¿¿s as roughly 16 credits. To complete my Sociology major, I need one more SOCY 200 level or above class and two SOCY 400 level or above classes. I also need 33 more credits to fulfill the Concurrent Education¿¿s minimum of 120 credits, a result of my reduced and accommodated course load this year. Therefore, I intend to take 15 credits during the winter semester of 2018, and 3 credits during the summer of 2018, after I graduate. I realize that, when the time comes, I will have to gain proper permission to take these credits after I graduate.
Thus, my academic plan is to take one sociology class while abroad, fulfilling my 200 level or above credit. There are plenty that interest me and I intend to propose them to the undergraduate chair for his approval. I would also take three electives, which I also intend to get approved. Some that interest me are an introductory class on the Maori Culture, a philosophy class on ethics and an introduction to politics in New Zealand. When I return to Queen¿¿s for the winter of 2018, I plan to take two 400 level or above sociology classes and three electives. I have attached a spreadsheet with more detail on my academic plan. I would also be more than happy to follow up with specific course codes and syllabuses for the classes I am interested in taking at either university.
