Academic Plan
Academic Plan Going Forward:
I will be reducing my workload in order to focus on the necessary classes, last semester I took 6 in order to try and correct my gpa problem which was overwhelming. Due to this I will reduce course count back down to 5.
I will be retaking past courses that I failed or did very poorly in first year to expunge my low marks and replace them with higher grades in order to permanently correct my GPA from troubled semesters.
I am currently working with an official queens therapist and have plans to continue working with her for the foreseeable future. With this I will also be looking out for more support services offered by Queens to aid myself in my courses. This may include tutors if I am falling behind.
Since I am taking Biology as my major I require a C in both bio 102 and bio 103, since I have a D in bio 103 as of right now I am going to request professors of my necessary courses to drop this requirement as it was not a realistic representation of my skillset, if this request is not allowed I will be retaking the course and aiming for the courses I want for the following year. I am hoping that my research time at the Queens University Biology Station as a second year student will be enough to prove that I am indeed capable of taking part in these courses but ultimately it is the professor's discretion.
Finally I have stable housing now which sets a very good precedent for my studying and sleeping schedules alongside reducing my hours at my job here in Kingston during the school year to focus more time to my studies.
