I should be able to design and develop software programs and computational solutions. Have a more effective problem-solving skills and be able to adapt easily in new and emerging technologies. Attaining my Bachelor Degree in Computer Science is also a goal of mine but I think it is enough. My the actual goal is to pass all the classes with clear understanding of what was taught and be able to retain it and apply some skills that I learn in the future. This goal of mine is a long term and far from being achieved. It will require discipline, consistency and patience. The short term goal that I have is to pass both CS 349 and CS 300.
