Academic Plan
Dear Queen¿¿s University Associate Dean,
To begin, I would like to thank you for taking the time to review my situation and consider allowing me to join Spanish 111 this summer. While the course has been running for two weeks now, I have no concerns about effectively catching up on content and assessments. In my first year at Queen¿¿s, I switched into SOCY 100 three weeks late and was able to earn an A+ in the course despite the time missed. I plan to achieve the same result in Spanish this summer by spending six hours a day going through the modules until I am caught up and can then spend about an hour a day on the course. As a LLCU major, I am very excited by the thought of learning a new language. With my background in French and my experience speaking Spanish on annual trips to Cuba, I feel very well prepared for the class. I have all of the personal and financial resources necessary to achieve success. I intend to do all required readings according to the course timeline, complete all assessments on time, and communicate thoroughly with the professor. I have no issues asking questions, and, with my access to technology, I can benefit from discussion boards to understand material I have missed instead of bothering the professor. I have been following routine and using a planner to stay organized and mentally sound this summer, and this will only increase my success in Spanish 111. Please allow me the opportunity to continue on my academic journey this summer in Spanish 111, and I will be sure to practice the same strategies that have earned me academic success at Queen¿¿s while improving my organization and time management.
Sincerely,
Deandra Way
