Algorithms, Data Collection, and Starting to Code
Embark on a journey of computational thinking and C programming with this course. Explore rigorous, computational ways to interact with the world and learn to program. Develop C programs, understand data types, variables, and constants, and enhance your skills in implementing STEM computations. No prior programming experience required. Join now and embrace the challenges of mastering this rewarding course. Hard work and determination will pave the way to success. Modules include algorithms, data storage, data collection, and writing C programs for STEM computations.
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 beginning C programming means! You’ll start learning how to develop C programs in this course by writing your first C program; learning about data types, variables, and constants; and honing your C programming skills by implementing a variety of STEM computations. This course doesn’t assume you have any previous programming experience, so don’t worry if you’ve never written code before.
If that all sounds interesting to you, go ahead and jump into the course!
Caution: Beginning (assuming no prior programming knowledge) is not the same as easy (not hard to do). Learning to program IS hard to do, especially since the courses in this specialization are built from a freshman-level college course. Meeting the course challenges while you master the material will be rewarding to you, but doing that will require hard work and maybe even a few expletives along the way.
Module 1: Learn about algorithms and write your first C program
Module 2: Discover how we store data in our programs
Module 3: Explore how we use data collection to solve problems and answer questions
Module 4: Practice writing C programs to implement STEM computations
