Academic Plan
The process by which I intend to make up for the time that I have lost will be fairly straightforward. Because I am the only student that will be enrolled in this particular Directed Lab under the supervision of Dr. Gallivan, I have not missed 3 weeks worth of material that other students will have gained by this point. Therefore, in order to catch up on any time lost we may simply restructure and adapt our proposed syllabus in order to accommodate for a late start to this research project.
I have already begun to make up for the time lost. Since January 30th, Dr. Gallivan and Joe Nashed (a postdoctoral fellow in the Centre for Neuroscience Studies) have sent me literature review articles that pertain to the brain imaging research we intend to conduct so that I can familiarize myself with the course content as quickly as possible.
Also, as there is no set classroom or meeting time, Dr. Gallivan and I simply intend to meet more often to account for any lost time. Similarly, there will be no exam, and my learning will be assessed based on a deliverable paper to be completed at the end of the term. The due date of this paper may be pushed back until the last day of exams, for example, and the instructional 3 weeks that we have lost in January may be made up in the examination period of April. This will provide us with 12 weeks of course content as per the general guidelines of other courses worth 3.0 credits.
As this course is so flexible and self-directed in nature, there are many options for me to be able to make personal adjustments to ensure the same quality of learning as if I had begun the course on January 8th. I am very passionate and committed to learning about neuroimaging and brain structure, and so I am confident that I will be able to accomplish these goals
