Academic Plan
ACADEMIC PLAN
A: Course of study
The Bachelor of Science¿¿Hons¿¿ program is a desired program that I would like to
take in my undergraduate study. In order to meet the degree requirement, in my first
year, I had completed CISC 102 and GPHY 102, and achieved an A in CISC 102. In the
term of summer 2021, I will continue the study in MATH 121 from May 10 to July 30th
and demonstrate that my circumstance has improved significantly. So far, I have
attended all the quizzes on time and got good results.
I plan to retake the courses that I failed last year, including CISC 101, GPHY101,
GPHY 105, MATH 110A, and some other degree required courses.
B: Full- time
I want to maintain my full-time status at Queen's University. I am taking one course in
my summer session now. I will not consider working in the first 2 years while attending
school since study is always the first priority for a student. In the next semester, I am
planning to reduce my course workload to 12 units per semester to achieve a better
academic result in each course.
C. Strategies for success
There are several issues bothered me through the first year. As a first-year international
student, the learning environment had changed a lot during the pandemic, and it is hard
for me to follow professors' steps. Unable to communicate with teachers and classmates
face to face makes it more difficult for me to study. In addition, I am in China now, the
time-zone difference disrupted my long-term work and rest habits, so I cannot
concentrate on my study . Thirdly, due to the restriction on accessing foreign website
in China, I have to use VPN every time to complete all the assignment, which lowers
my study efficiency.
After the first two semesters. I have improved not only my study abilities but also
learned a lot about different cultures and important life lessons that have been extremely
beneficial. In addition, looking back on the previous semester, the fall semester of 2020,
I overcame the difficulties associated with Zoom and Canvas, also learned many basic
learning tools such as Google Docs.
I adjusted to the pace of study at Queen's so far, and I am not ready to give up. I will
take a lighter course load and check the class syllabus daily. I intend to continue my
study and attend the school in person. So, I can meet with my professor and advisor
every week to discuss my progress and create a study plan for the following week to
keep me on track. In addition, I can adjust my sleep patterns and no longer suffer from
insomnia, allowing me to better keep up with my classes without VPN, concentrate on
my studies and ensure that I do not miss any assignments.
Meanwhile I will use any resources that are available on campus, for example, the
library and writing center.
