Academic Plan
Academic Plan:
i. I intend to register for four courses each semester and 2 courses during the summer months. I believe I will be able to effectively manage my time with these course loads. I am also considering a part time student status.
ii. In the past when struggling with the workload I did not speak with a professor or academic advisor and express my concerns. If I become overwhelmed in the future or face a challenging situation I will speak with someone who can help me with this problem.
iii. In terms of organization and time management, I will attend the workshops offered by Queen's that assist in time management, learning strategies, how to prepare for a multiple choice exams and procrastination. In addition, I plan to organize all due dates of assignments on a calendar each semester so I can plan my time accordingly.
iv. I intend to allocate study time in the library for each of my courses every week.
v. I have decided to focus my studies on media related courses such as film. Although I was unsuccessful in this course in the past due to the fact that it was not my projected major resulting in not enough time being put into it. Over time, and a lot of thought, I have decided that this is the educational path I wish to pursue. I plan on retaking first year film and refocusing my my attention onto film and media, with hopes of achieving a higher grade in order to follow this path.
vi. Stress was a major factor that contributed to my academic issues this past year. I did not know how to effectively deal with it and my academics suffered. In the future I plan to use all the resources Queen's has to offer such as the programs I listed above, my professors and my academic advisors to help me surpass any overwhelming obstacles I may face.
