Academic Plan
Academic Plan
I plan to pursue a General Bachelors Degree in Computing. The requirement to make that my major is a 1.6 GPA and a C- in CISC124. This summer, I am enrolled in 3 courses. CHEM112, MUSC171 and COGS100. I failed CHEM and MUSC in my first year, and am doing fairly well this summer. This should raise my GPA above the 1.6 requirement as I am at a 1.5 right now. I am taking COGS because I find that course to be very interesting and would like to learn about it. For the fall semester in 2017, I will be taking CISC124, as I failed that in the fall 2016 semester. I will also be taking another CISC course that I dropped in the fall 2016 as it was too much stress and pressure. I will retake PHGY170 as an elective as well. I will also enroll in ECON111 as I found ECON112 to be very interesting and informative when I took that in first year. For the winter semester, I will enroll in the second year CISC courses required to complete a general degree. This includes CISC220, 260, 221 and 235. I will not be taking any elective as I don¿¿t want to burden myself with more stress and coursework than I can handle. I am certain I can do well in these courses. Considering I will be taking 4 courses each semester, I will be a full time student.
I plan to do well in these courses by taking the proper measures. In the courses I did well in this past year, I went to office hours to catch up with the coursework. Office hours helped immensely as I was able to get an A- in CISC203 and a B in CISC282. In the courses that I didn¿¿t do well in, I did not attend office hours and that was a big mistake. In hindsight, attending office hours was definitely very helpful. I am doing well in my summer courses because I have taken it upon myself to email the professors or TA¿¿s whenever I have any questions, this has helped quite a lot. I also received tutoring from other peers before tests. Another thing will be to go see a counsellor at the Student Wellness Centre when the stress or anxiety is too much. Previously, I held it in and tried persevering through tests or assignments, but it was a lot to keep in. After going to a counsellor, I realized that they are very helpful and so I plan to go again. Another reason for low grades was commitments outside of school, I joined too many clubs and was not prepared to handle academic responsibilities as well as club responsibilities. I plan to focus solely on my academics for next year.
