ENG 106
Is it better to take ENG 106 online or in person?
On selecting the online option, do the asynchronous classes interfere with other class timings?
One of my friends said that they give recorded lectures for the asynchronous classes. Is that really the case?

Where to Start
I was advised by one of the alumni to get familiar with C and JS before my program starts (BSD), but I don't know what the perfect place to start is. (I pretty have much no prior coding experience)
I tried to find an answer to this online and majority of the people advised that python is the best language to learn for someone who has never coded before. I watched a couple of hours of a 12 hour long python course for beginners on YouTube before I started having second thoughts regarding whether it was the right choice.
Meanwhile, I was told that it would be hard for me to understand "C" if I started of with Python. So, I ditched learning python and started learning C from a course that someone suggested but it was highly mathematics oriented. I had a hard time understanding it because mathematics is not really my forte. I'm not sure if I should work on my math knowledge or I should find a different C course. I just wanna be prepared for college so it's easy for me later on. What should I do now?

Prerequisites for BSD
What are the prerequisites required for BSD? I tried searching this on Seneca's website but couldn't find anything.
I've got 5 months till my course starts. Is there anything else I can do in this time that would make college easier for me later on?

Is selecting BSD instead of CPA a mistake?
I've recieved the offer letter from Seneca for winter intake for the BSD program.
I've got a few questions...
If I don't mind the extra 1 year of useless filler business courses, is BSD still the lesser appropriate choice?
I've also heard that I could have an advanced diploma, 2 co-op terms and a bsc degree from a solid university if I choose the CPA program. Does this mean that BSD doesn't have any pathway options? Could I transfer to a solid university if I have already chosen BSD? If so, how? (and is that recommend?) Do you need to complete all 4 years of college and then get into the university or you get transferred after a certain semester? Also, the reason I chose BSD instead of CPA is because I thought that a bachelor's degree would look better under an academic lens than an advanced diploma. Is this true tho? (All the deductions stated above are on the basis of what I've heard from different sources)
