Part 1:

1. My desired degree is: Bachelor of Science in Computer Science.


2. I plan to take this many classes per term: 2 classes per term. It should take me 20 terms to finish
my degree:
3. I am looking forward to these classes:
 Introduction to Computer Science: I am excited about this class because it will provide me
with a solid foundation in computer science principles and programming. I am eager to learn
how to write code and develop software applications.
 Artificial Intelligence (AI): I am interested in this class because it will teach me , what AI is all
about and looking at the current generation of technology AI is becoming a reality and daily
tool that will be a need in this generation and I believe have knowledge about AI will be a
building block to my career and able to provide solutions in my community and the nation at
large
4. I am nervous about this classes:
 Calculus: it been a while when I last sorved some maths question and am worried it meant
give ma a tough time However, I understand that calculus is an important subject for
computer science, especially for understanding algorithms and analyzing their efficiency. So
I have no choice but to face my fears
 Comparative Programming Languages (proctored course): I am concerned about this class
because it covers complex topics such as python language, C++, html etc, however I
anticipate that it will require a lot of hands-on practice and critical thinking.

Part 2:

1. Transferable skills are essential for success in any career. Here are five skills that I believe I have
mastered and specific ways in which I have used them successfully:

 Communication: I have mastered communication skills through various experiences, such


as presenting research findings to my peers and effectively conveying complex technical
concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
 Problem-solving: I have successfully used problem-solving skills in my internships, where I
tackled challenging programming tasks and debugged complex software issues by analyzing
code and identifying logical errors.
 Time management: I have honed my time management skills by balancing my coursework,
part-time job, and extracurricular activities. I have consistently met deadlines and
prioritized tasks effectively.
 Collaboration: I have collaborated with team members on group projects, where I actively
contributed ideas, listened to others' perspectives, and worked towards common goals to
achieve successful outcomes.
 Adaptability: I have demonstrated adaptability by quickly learning new programming
languages and technologies as required for different projects. I have successfully adapted
to changing project requirements and timelines.
2. Five skills that I think are important to my career but have not yet mastered are:
 Leadership: To master leadership skills, I plan to take on leadership roles in student
organizations and actively seek opportunities to lead group projects. I will also seek
mentorship from experienced professionals in my field.
 Data analysis: To master data analysis skills, I plan to take additional courses in statistics
and data science. I will also seek internships or projects that involve analyzing and
interpreting large datasets.
 Networking: To master networking skills, I plan to attend industry events, join professional
organizations, and actively engage with professionals in my field through online platforms. I
will also seek informational interviews to expand my network.
 Project management: To master project management skills, I plan to take courses or
workshops on project management methodologies. I will also seek opportunities to lead
and manage projects, ensuring successful completion within scope, time, and budget.
 Critical thinking: To master critical thinking skills, I plan to engage in problem-solving
exercises, participate in coding competitions, and practice analyzing complex problems
from different perspectives. I will also seek feedback from mentors and peers to improve
my critical thinking abilities.

In conclusion, pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, I am excited about the courses that
will provide me with a strong foundation in computer science principles and programming. While I have
mastered certain transferable skills such as communication, problem-solving, time management,
collaboration, and adaptability, I recognize the importance of continuously developing skills such as
leadership, data analysis, networking, project management, and critical thinking to excel in my future
career. I have outlined specific steps I plan to take to master these skills, including seeking relevant
experiences, additional education, mentorship, and active engagement in professional networks.
