Academic Plan
My plan for Fall semester of 2014 is to take LING 100 and ANAT 100. I had been following those two courses up until add/drop period, so I had only missed two classes of those courses. I have proven my ability to succeed in LING 100 through the results of my first test, in which I received an A grade of 86.5. The reason why I am only taking two courses is so that I can focus my energy on my missed courses and maintain a high GPA for graduate school.
I have friends in both LING 100 and ANAT 100 who I have already contacted in terms of missed notes, lectures and advice.
Shortly after my return to Queen's University, I booked an appointment with Dr. Bernard and an academic counselor. Dr. Bernard advised that I should take two or three courses so that I do not fall behind in my courses. My academic counselor told me that as long as I take summer courses, I would be able to fulfill my prerequisites for graduate school and graduate in a timely manner.
Since I am planning to major in philosophy to keep my options open for both speech language pathology and law school, I will be taking that course in the summer. I will take PHIL 111 either through Queen's Distance Education online, or at a different university for summer course credits.
As of right now, I have already caught up to all of my classes and am consistently reading ahead to prepare for future lectures. My plan is to take two courses in Fall semester and six courses in second semester. To prevent an overwhelming second semester, I am making notes for PSYC 251, a course I had initially enrolled in and is offered during the winter semester. This way, it would be as though I am taking three courses in first semester and five in second semester. Last year in commerce, I had a full course load of 33.0 units so I am accustomed to keeping up with a dense course load.
