Christopher Eck,
The latest information from C++ For C Programmers on Coursera.

We have added a new element to the course, Conversations, which can be found on the left side course menu. These are done through Google Hangouts on air. We have posted the first of these conversations with the chair of the UCSC, CS department Jim Whitehead. He is a distinguished software engineer of wide experience and is also intimately working in our game design major. I am hoping to follow up with other conversations that will include talking with our Coursera staff and students.

This last week we changed the rubric and point assignment for peer grading Homework 2. It was amended to take into account a very thoughtful discussion posted in the forum. Again peer grading is still in its infancy and it is a social web-based approach to doing insightful grading for complex assignments. Peer grading for Homework 2 will open on Monday after the due date, so make sure to submitHomework 2 by Monday!

Homework 3 has now been released and is due in about one more week. For a typical sophomore, here at UCSC, it is a straightforward problem given a reasonable solution to Homework 2. It gives you an opportunity to improve as well on deficiencies in your Homework 2 solution.

Again keep up the great forum posts this week in the Module 4 discussion forum!

Yours,

Ira Pohl

Metadata course/North Carolina

Christopher Eck, The latest information from  Metadata: Organizing and Discovering Information  by  The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill  on Coursera. Congratulations on surviving the first week of Metadata: Organizing and Discovering Information! As some of you have noted on the discussion forums, unit 1 was pretty long. But don't panic! Unit 1 is the longest unit -- all of the remaining units are shorter (though some units are longer than others). Many MOOCs (including this one) are created for a broad general audience: maybe you have some background in Information Science, and if so, great! But I wanted to create this course to be accessible even to students with no Information Science background. Which is why unit 1 was so long: I tried to fill in some of that background. And hopefully pique your interest in Information Science! But now that that background is background, we'll start building on it. In unit 2, we will look at our first ex...
