Academic Plan: As mentioned in my letter, I am dedicating my summer to courses I wanted to take during the fall/winter terms but could not due to my program's required courses. This means that my schedule is very flexible and I intend to catch up the first and second week of class all as soon as I would be granted enrolment, be it over the weekend or the rest of the week. I am on top of all the assignments for my other courses and so I have plenty of free time I would dedicate to the CISC 101 course. My strategy is to continue to alternate days that I dedicate to one specific course, and in this way I have found success to not fall behind in any course.

I have often taken summer courses or online courses during my academic journey and usually I find them the most fulfilling, which is reflected by the grades I obtain. I am a very good independent learner and so this course form plays to my strengths. Additionally, the learning strategies that I have acquired work best for me with the format of this course. I like the frequent assessment points. The reason I believe I can succeed in this course is because I am motivated to do so and passionate about learning to code.
