    About the Course

    This course starts you on your journey learning about computational thinking and beginning C programming. If you’d like to explore how we can
    interact with the world in a rigorous, computational way, and would also like to start learning to program, this is the course for you! You may
    have heard lots of talk about computational thinking recently, but if you ask 10 different people what it is you’ll probably get 10 different
    answers. Rather than trying to define computational thinking, we’ll just say it’s a problem-solving process that includes lots of different
    components. In this course, we’ll explore algorithms and data collection. Most people have a better understanding of what b...

    Nice Course, I have learned a lot about how to collect data. And I also find one thing interesting that despite being an easy assignment, already given code make it difficult to understand.

    The course was great! In addition to a good sense of humour, even more sublime, the explanations were straightforward and easy to understand. Thank you Dr. T!

    It was a nice introduction, but needs many more projects diving deeper into the C language.

    Not 100% perfect for total begineers.

    But awesome for who have done a little bit c before.

    More problem set should be added from easy to hard like Python 3 course of University of Michigan.

    Quite good for beginner!

    The emphasis here was not on the coding and or dealing with syntax of the C language but more of on how to carry out the calculation

    I really liked this course. It's not a hardcore programming class. It doesn't get too technical, and there are more thorough introductions to C programming on here. The beautiful thing about this class is that it gets you started thinking about programming by applying the basic idea of algorithms to everyday tasks and then you write simple programs in C. It gets you started without overwhelming you.

    Dr. T is a great instructor. Doesn't waste any time and get to the point. I learnt a couple of in-depth things that I would have ignored if I hadn't enrolled for this, like %.2f for printing 2 decimal float values.

    Thanks!
