Overview
The first course assumes no programming experience, and throughout the 4 courses in the specialization you'll learn about both computational thinking and C programming.
The material in the courses in the Computational Thinking with Beginning C Programming Specialization offered by Coursera in partnership with University of Colorado System is equivalent to our computational thinking course at UCCS.
Applied Learning Project
Learners build a variety of C programs using the concepts covered in the specialization courses.
They also apply computational thinking ideas in a number of exercises and topic understanding checks in algorithms; data collection, analysis, and representation; abstraction; automation; simulation; and parallelization.
