Academic Plan
If my late add request is approved, I will complete the independent study under Professor Fairfield with a clear structure to ensure strong performance this term. Within the first week of registration, I will confirm a written plan with Professor Fairfield that includes (1) a focused research question, (2) a reading list, (3) interim deadlines, and (4) the final paper requirements. I will set weekly goals for reading and writing, and I will submit a short progress update at regular intervals (or as requested) so that feedback can guide the project before the final submission.
To support my overall academic success, I will drop the course that is not a good fit and maintain my five-course load, allowing me to focus my time and effort on work that aligns with my strengths in research and writing. I will also continue to use departmental advising support as needed (e.g., check-ins with the undergraduate office) to ensure I stay on track with deadlines and degree requirements.
This plan supports my academic goals by helping me produce my strongest work in my final year and build skills directly relevant to my long-term goal of pursuing law school, including sustained research, clear argumentative writing, and independent project management.
