[Coursera]Computational Thinking for Problem Solving

找到这门课的原因是楼主准备报一个CS的学习班，但老师在开班之前要求所有没有CS背景和编程经验的人都自己上一下这门课，目的就是快速了解一下自己到底适不适合学CS再决定要不要报课。 Computational Thinking for Problem Solving这门课只需要4周完成，12/10就是下周一开始。 在课程介绍部分，讲师首先定义了什么叫computational thinking(见下面Q&A)， 然后解释了大家比较常问的几个问题，例如这门课是否涉及编程(见下面Q&A)，computational thinking在生活中（无论社科还是工科）的广泛应用。

Q1：What is computational thinking?
A1: C

omputational thinking is not just about programming.

[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8)]Computational thinking is an approach to solving problems

[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8)]using concepts and ideas from computer science

[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8)]and expressing solutions to those problems so that they can be run on a computer.  

[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8)]Computational thinking involves breaking down a problem in smaller parts,

[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8)]looking for patterns in those subproblems,

[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8)]figuring out what information is needed,

[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8)]and developing a step-by-step solution.

Q2: Is this a programming course?
A2: This is not a programming course. [color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8)]We will look at programming in the last part of the course,
[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8)]and when you're done with the course,
[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8)]you will have written some simple programs,
[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8)]but that's not the main focus.
[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8)]Rather, this course teaches you the things you need to think about before you write a program.

同时给大家补充一个纪录片Documentary -“ The Secret Rules of Modern Living: Algorithms” - Available on Netflix 应该可以免费看：）

上面英文部分格式不对，想修改，哪里有修改或编辑的按钮？找了半天没看到。。。。

刚自己找了下版规，好像凡是submit之后都不能编辑修改的，好吧。。。。。

楼主方便说哪家CS的学习班嘛 我很好奇什么机构门槛这么高哈哈哈 不方便的话私信也可以
