Academic Plan
To optimize my chances of academic success, my aim is to rehabilitate my transcript and complete my degree as a full-time student. The proposed academic plan is to retake courses I previously did poorly in, enrol in less advanced courses to demonstrate the ability to acquire new information, enrol in the two remaining mandatory courses required of my degree, and seek credit standing for courses taken previously.
The reason for choosing a full-time over part-time status is because taking a maximum of three courses per team would decrease the odds of a GPA increase sufficient enough to be released from academic probation, especially if the courses I seek for credit standing are not granted. More importantly, I have demonstrated the ability to handle a three course load while being employed part-time proven by my term GPA of 3.59 in Winter 2016 at Ryerson University.
My ideal timetable would include the following for the Fall Term PHYS107A, CHEM281, ANAT309 and BCHM218. This four course balance of retaking old courses with a new 200 level course required for my degree will allow me to increase my GPA, demonstrate knowledge acquisition with BCHHM218, a course that research programs of interest for my future goals require, and gage my ability to undertake a course load of that magnitude to optimize my academic progress in the following term. The Winter Term would ideally include: PHYS107B, CHEM282, PHAR230, BCHM316, and potentially BIOL330. PHAR230 is one of the mandatory courses required of my degree and the rest of the courses I have taken previously. Depending on my results from the fall term, I will attempt to pursue BIOL330 since it is a course of interest. Furthermore, I will appeal for a credit standing for the following courses taken in my first and second year: MUSC171, MATH122, ECON112, and CHEM285 when my psychological issues were impeding my academic performance beyond my control to increase my GPA to optimize my pursuit of future aspirations.
Lastly, my anxiety uncontrollably inhibited me from seeking help from professors and TAs previously. At Ryerson, I have managed to reach out to all of my professors and Lab Instructors, which has helped my confidence tremendously. My increased control over my anxiety will allow me to seek continual support to guarantee academic progress towards complete my degree.
