Why are we doing this?

Every week you need to complete at least three kata. Spend at least 20 minutes, three times a week, on your kata workout.

Find the Collection for this week on the CodeYourFuture account.

Take some time to check your levels. Before you are accepted on to a Final Project on the developer track, you need to complete the Final Projects collection and reach a Level 5 kyu in Codewars. Are you on track to reach this standard? Have you run a study group to work on kata? Have you reached out on the #cyf-codewars channel? What is your plan to meet this goal?

This assignment aims to help you consolidate your understanding of cover letter writing and the most important points to pay attention to while writing a cover letter.

• Add a screenshot of your Slack message on this ticket.
• Copy and paste the content you added to Slack on this ticket.

Why are we doing this?

🔑 The most important thing is that you are secure in your understanding.

At the end of the course, we will expect you to build novel applications using your understanding. If you cannot build things, we cannot put you forward for jobs. It is in your personal interest to make sure you have properly understood this module.

To progress to the next module you need to meet the success criteria for this module. How will you as a cohort meet the module success criteria? Discuss it in your class channel and make a plan together.

🧑🏿‍🎤 good strategies

• asking volunteers to review your code
• helping each other with coursework blockers
• arranging midweek study sessions
• using Saturday time to review code and cohort tracker

🙅🏿 bad strategies

• opening empty PRs
• copying and pasting
• breaking the Trainee Agreement
• mistaking the measure for the target
