Academic Plan
Academic Plan:
Throughout my three years of being a student at Queens, I have always taken a full course load. After being placed on Academic probation after second year, I took 5 courses thinking that it might help my chances of achieving a 1.6 GPA. That wasn??t the case. After consulting with an academic advisor, we felt it was best that in the winter term I decided to change my Bachler of Arts with Honours degree to a General Arts degree, which meant I didn??t need to complete as many credits. Along with changing my degree, I decided to lighten my course load to 3 classes in the winter. This was the best decision I had ever made. I found it easier to manage course loads while also providing me with ample time to complete assignments. Despite a lighter course load, there are still many things I need to work on as a student. Personally, my study habits and exam prep tend to struggle, so I??ve decided to take the July 29th exam prep workshop for my summer course exams. I also will take full advantage of the on-campus workshops, such as writing a university level essay and effective midterm and test prep, which will help me in every learning aspect going forward. Due to a heavier course load and weak preparation skills, I felt that this deeply affected my academic performance in the Winter term, along with dealing with severe illness.
