Academic Plan
Academically I am strong in my written, oral and communication skills and I will make sure to choose courses that play to those strengths. For instance, I did well in philosophy and I will continue to take courses similar to that if given the opportunity. I have also been a strong reader throughout my schooling and I plan to take courses like English, history, and other art & science subjects I feel that I am able to excel in. I believe the main reason I had trouble last year was that I was enrolled in too many courses that I wasn't completely confident in, so if given another chance I will take a lesser course load and make sure that each course plays to my strengths as a student.
These things are all primary components of my plan for academic success, along with things like balancing my time better by scheduling things like studying, being more physically activity, and eating healthier.
Another key element of my plan is to spend plenty of time on getting the extra academic help I need in order to succeed, instead of attempting to do it alone which I tried last year. Also I will continue to seek out the medical help I need through counselling in Kingston, at the clinic with Dr. Basic and the Student Wellness Services at Queens which I both recently visited on May 8th. I will make sure to visit the Arts & Science guidance counselling office if I have any questions about my degree path and to make sure I made the correct decisions in my course selection before It is too late. Additionally I will work on improving my study habits with the Student Success Services at Queens to make sure that I am learning in ways that are effective for me. One more part of my plan for academic success is to shift from a computing centered degree plan, to an arts and English focused path which I am more comfortable with. I believe that if I am given the chance to follow my plan for academic success, I will prove myself as a student who can succeed at Queen's University. Thank you for this opportunity.
