Overall Impression

I recommend this course because it’s not very hard, classes are not mandatory and there are only four projects. You can do most of the work independently. I only attended two theoretical classes and since there are no exams, they’re not essential. Theoretical classes provide context for the projects, but personally, I didn’t find them worth attending. # Teacher and Labs

• Lab 1 is required to get a grade for Project 1. In this session, you solve simple math problems using C++. It’s very easy and you’re allowed to use the web....

Theoretical component

I enjoyed learning the theoretical part. It just covers the basic concepts and it's nothing you couldn’t learn on YouTube. The material covered was not enough to complete the project. You'll definitely need to learn by yourself to do it.

Project

The project is open ended: You're given a table of 'features' and you're the one who chooses which ones you'll implement and how they'll fit together.

The project is done in C++, so it may a bit more challenging for those who are not very comfortable with it. If you're not careful, the project can turn into spaghetti code...
