The official guide to courses by Straighterline, Study, et al: We want YOUR input!
Provider: Study.com
Course: Computer Science 111: Programming in C
Course content: Videos, some pages of just text.
Final exam format: 100 questions. Multiple-choice.
Final exam content vs course content/practice exams: Final exam content is aligned with the material presented in the course.
Time taken on course: 7-8 days.
Familiarity with subject before course: Did much C programming back in the days, so was very familiar with the subject.
Pitfalls, high points, things others should know: The course is not bad overall, however I don't recommend it to those who are completely new to C language. I found some confusing statements (one of them nearly blasphemous) regarding pointers and how they work. If you really want to learn C, study the book "C Programming Language" by Kernighan and Ritchie first, then take this course if you will. Some quizzes in the final (and in the course as well) contain typos in the C code being used for the question. The assignment is harder than the those I've seen in other programming courses at Study.com.
1-10 Difficulty level: 7-8
Final grade: 97 (Quizzes: 100%, Assignment 100%, Final exam: 90%)
