Academic Plan
Academic Plan - Withdrawal For A Minimum Of 3 Years
As I stated in my Appeal Letter, I feel it is unjustified that I must withdraw for a minimum of three years because of the improvements I have made in my studies and grades overall. This academic plan will be my plan of what I must do in the upcoming year to succeed in my studies.
Course of Study
During the upcoming year I have to retake MATH281 for the third time. This class is very difficult and I cannot grasp the concept of it, but this year I plan to make an effort and not try and study for it on my own. I will find a group and study with them and if that isn¿¿t helping I will further make an effort to do well in this course by finding a tutor. This is the only class I have to retake and I plan to continue with my math degree by taking the remaining suggest two math courses (210,231) and also begin on taking courses over MATH300 which are more business oriented. Also, I am going to take electives which are focused on math and business so that I can fill out my 120 credits needed to graduate. This plan of action is verified, and I will be eligible for these classes because it is part of the Degree Plan which I am taking. I went through the course map on the Queen¿¿s website and this is the plan I am pursuing to ensure i receive my Bachelor of Science Honours in Math.
After taking these courses this year and hopefully succeeding, I plan on looking into getting a summer job and taking summer courses. I will do this by speaking with Career Services about work through SWEP or NSERC. I am going to try and get more involved with any extracurriculars, and not just the academic side of Queen¿¿s. I will also try to connect with job finding applications like LinedIn and Career Cruising.
A later plan for the 2017/2018 year, will be to finish my degree by completing all the remaining MATH300/400 classes that I need to and to fill out my credits with electives. If successful this year with my studies, study groups, and tutors, I will continue this in the next academic year to ensure my final success in getting my degree.
Reduced Course Load
My plan for courses and the amount of hours I spend in class is the same as before. I plan on taking 4 courses each semester. This is fair as I don¿¿t think it is the amount of class that is the problem. The problem that I believe I have is the end of the semester when it comes to writing exams. I stress out too easily, and in the appeal letter I stated that I will be joining study groups and seeking help from others at the school in order to reduce the amount stress I put on myself before exams.
During my earlier years of studies I also carried a part time job at the Dairy Queen on Princess St. This upcoming year I will not be taking that job as my plan will to be to 100 focus on my studies. This will ensure that I have time to complete every assignment to the best of my abilities.
Strategies for Success
The reason behind my low grades before was lack of studying and study habits. . I have many strategies for success that I will go through. First, is to build on what I have done this year. I raised my GPA a significant amount by just studying by myself for more time that I ever have. To build on this I plan to study even more and to do it with a group and to seek help from tutors if I need it. Another plan I have next year is to enrol myself into a club or some type of extracurricular activities so I may meet new people and get more involved. The reason behind my low grades before was lack of studying and study habits. This changed dramatically this year, where i began studying everyday even if it was just going over past lectures that I have already reviewed, which helped very much.
Another plan I will carry out to ensure success is to find ways to relieve stress during exam period. I work myself up too much about the marks I¿¿m going to achieve on exams, which overall hurts my grades. I will seek stress relieving workshops or events to help me during my study breaks.
To focus more on my studies I will be removing myself from the workplace where I have worked before to also concentrate more on my studies as I feel the most important thing in my life right now is being able to continue to study at Queen¿¿s and achieve my degree.
