Learning outcomes

In this course, you will learn to use logical statements and arrays in C. Logical statements are used for decision-making with follow-up instructions, based on conditions you define. Arrays are used to store, keep track of, and organize larger amounts of data. You will furthermore implement some fundamental algorithms to search and sort data.

By the end of this course, you will have gained experience with programming concepts that are foundational to any programming language and be one step closer to a career in computer engineering.

At the end of this course, you will be able to:

Prerequisites

We recommend to complete the "C Programming: getting started"course.

You will be able to immediately start coding in C with the help of powerful yet simple coding tools right within the web browser. No need to install anything!

Workload

Students are expected to spend roughly 2 to 3 hours a week watching the videos, tutorials, responding to the activities and participating actively in the forums. This is an estimation based on 3 weeks of learning effort.

Grading and Certificate

This course includes both participants who are auditing the course (7-day free trial) and participants who working toward a Specialization by completing all seven courses in the program. If you wish to have your course work validated for the C Programming with Linux Specialization, you must upgrade to a subscription. Auditing participants will not have access to any of the graded programming activities.

If you cannot afford the full price, please note that Coursera may be able to provide financial assistance under certain conditions.

To pass the course you need to pass each graded assignment with a grade of at least 80% . You can continue retaking each graded assessment until they successfully pass. All graded assessments need to be passed to earn the certificate.

To pass this course you will have to complete several activities:

Attempts: Learning code requires writing code and correcting your mistakes. You have unlimited attempts on the Taskgrader coding activities.

Course Schedule

This course is a self-paced. This means that you can start whenever you would like and progress at your own pace. Although there are not activity deadlines, we recommend you spend at least 2-3 hours per week on this course.
