Answered by Examlex AI CopilotMy academic plan for my first year of college is to focus on building a strong foundation in my chosen field of study while also exploring other subjects that interest me. My general strategy is to take a mix of required core courses and elective classes that align with my academic and career goals.
For example, as a computer science major, I plan to take introductory courses in programming, data structures, and algorithms. I also want to explore courses in artificial intelligence and machine learning to gain a deeper understanding of these emerging technologies. Additionally, I am interested in taking a few elective courses in graphic design and web development to broaden my skill set and explore potential interdisciplinary opportunities.
As I implement my academic plan, I will take several actions to ensure my success. First, I will meet with my academic advisor to discuss my course selections and ensure that I am on track to meet my degree requirements. I will also seek out opportunities for research or internships in my field to gain practical experience and make connections in the industry. Additionally, I will prioritize time management and study skills to stay on top of my coursework and maintain a strong GPA.
Overall, my academic plan for my first year of college is to lay a solid foundation in my major while also exploring other interests and opportunities. By taking a strategic approach to course selection and actively seeking out experiences to enhance my learning, I am confident that I will set myself up for success in my academic and professional pursuits.

Felipe worked part-time at a grocery store in high school, and although he made friends, he didn't enjoy working directly with the public. He graduated from high school with honors in math and science but struggled a little in humanities classes. Over the summer, he worked as an assistant to his uncle, a carpenter. Felipe didn't mind the long hours or the hard work, but when they finished a project, he didn't feel the same sense of accomplishment as his uncle. Instead, he was just glad they were done. Now Felipe is in his first term at college and he is working part-time at a diner as a short-order cook. He really enjoys preparing food for customers and has even come up with a few new dishes of his own. Felipe's mother wants him to be an attorney, but he isn't sure what he wants to do.

(30) Sandra's major field of study is biology, and her minor field of study is philosophy. She is a few weeks into her final term. Her plan had been to earn a biology degree and then go on to med school and study to become a physician. Recently, though, she's had a change of heart and has decided that she isn't cut out for a career in medicine. Instead, she'd like to be a social worker, even though she hasn't taken any courses in that field.
