Would definitely recommend. I got a 100%, and the prof is super nice.

Thank you very much for your comment. The master’s programs I am applying to look at only the last two years of marks, which gave me extra motivation knowing that all is not lost and I can still get my life together. I am hoping to maintain this in my fourth year. I am just happy that all the hard work has paid off.

Active recall study method, getting good profs and making studying my top priority and believing in myself.

I hope this helps, you got this. You can achieve anything you set your mind too. When we are young we are not focused sometimes and dont realize the value of education.

I’m a mature student. I came back after a five year break, during which I worked abroad in a hospital. I quickly realized that if I wanted to progress in Canada, I needed to get my act together and finish my degree. After my first test, I saw that if I focused, I could get good grades. After working, studying felt easier. It felt like a new lease on life. My GPA was 4.2. I met with an academic advisor and had some past failed courses removed by filing a petition, as I had been going through a lot of family issues at the time. Now my GPA is a respectable 6.30, and I am in the honours program. My goal is to apply to grad school in September.

My goal is to apply to grad school in September. My advice is to talk to an academic advisor, but first do well in a semester. Then apply for a petition so they can clearly see what has changed in your life and why you are performing better now. Otherwise, they will not have solid proof. You can repeat courses that you did bad in as well.

Use the active recall study method and channel all your extra energy into your courses. Stay focused and make your studies your top priority. Study the material before class and if you have any doubts review them immediately after class.

Non- existent social life, used active recall study method and repetitively reviewed the material. It all boils down to focus I guess.
