About the Course

Computers are everywhere, they aren't just the desktops and laptops we use for work but the phones in our pockets and even the watches on our wrists are also computers. You probably use a computer every day and in fact you are reading this on a computer! Just because we use computers all the time, doesn't mean that we understand them, or find them easy to use. Computer Science is the science of computers, it is the field of knowledge that experts use to understand computer systems. Knowing a little computer science will help you understand the computers all around you. This isn't a how-to course for a particular piece of software, instead you will learn some fundamental concepts that you can apply to any software or computer system. You'll apply these concepts to the kind of computer systems we use every day, including word processing applications, e-commerce, the internet and web sites. You will learn how to apply computer science concepts to solve problems in daily computer use and generally be a better computer user. Taking this course could be the start of your career in computer science, and the course is an introduction to the Bachelors in Computer Science from University of London, but it is also for you if you just want to learn a little computer science to help you better understand the computers you use in your ordinary life....

Very good course as an introduction to computing. Could stand to be more challenging, but the material is certainly easy enough for a true beginner.

There are multiple videos in the final week that are the same as the introductory video. This should be fixed because the final week covers the most advanced topic of the series and it is basically left out.

I am trying to delete this course from my computer from my menu as the course is not what I expected of need. Thank you for your help.

The presentation of the videos isn't very good. The teacher is just reading from a script making the whole course feel flat and dull. It leaves you with the feeling he doesn't know his subject. I am sure that he does. There is some cool information in this course. But, it is presented badly, and the quizzes are not enjoyable challenges. The quizzes sometimes contain questions that weren't covered in the content. And as always, with this kind of course, the questions are worded to trip you up, not test if you understood the content covered.
