Coding for Everyone: C and C++ Specialization

• What is the refund policy?

  If you subscribed, you get a 7-day free trial during which you can cancel at no penalty. After that, we don’t give refunds, but you can cancel your subscription at any time. See our full refund policy.

• Can I just enroll in a single course?

  Yes! To get started, click the course card that interests you and enroll. You can enroll and complete the course to earn a shareable certificate, or you can audit it to view the course materials for free. When you subscribe to a course that is part of a Specialization, you’re automatically subscribed to the full Specialization. Visit your learner dashboard to track your progress.

• Is financial aid available?

  Yes, Coursera provides financial aid to learners who cannot afford the fee. Apply for it by clicking on the Financial Aid link beneath the "Enroll" button on the left. You'll be prompted to complete an application and will be notified if you are approved. You'll need to complete this step for each course in the Specialization, including the Capstone Project. Learn more.

• Can I take the course for free?

  When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free. If you cannot afford the fee, you can apply for financial aid.

• Is this course really 100% online? Do I need to attend any classes in person?

  This course is completely online, so there’s no need to show up to a classroom in person. You can access your lectures, readings and assignments anytime and anywhere via the web or your mobile device.

• Will I earn university credit for completing the Specialization?

  This Specialization doesn't carry university credit, but some universities may choose to accept Specialization Certificates for credit. Check with your institution to learn more. Online Degrees and Mastertrack™ Certificates on Coursera provide the opportunity to earn university credit.

• How long does it take to complete the Specialization?

  Most learners will take roughly 80 hours to complete all four courses.

• What background knowledge is necessary?

  No prior knowledge is necessary for the Coding for Everyone Specialization.

  Knowledge of a programming language — any language — is useful, but not necessary.

  Similarly, some graph theory may be useful in the more advanced classes.

• Do I need to take the courses in a specific order?

  The courses in the specialization build off of each other, so the prerequisite for e.g. C++ for C Programmers Part B is the course C++ for C Programmers Part A, and the C courses are a prerequisite for the C++ courses.

• What will I be able to do upon completing the Specialization?

  Upon completing the Coding for Everyone Specialization, you will be able to:

  ● Write and debug code in C and C++

  ● Properly express algorithms and understand how they work

  ● Be familiar with search algorithm for AI problems

  ● Code modern Monte Carlo evaluation in complex games

  ● Do complex route calculations
