Hi Andy,

Is there a capacity limit on the number of students that can enroll? From what I recall the first course was capped at around 60 students.
What's the deadline for enrolling?

Thanks,
Ohad.

Hi Ohad
We would expect all the spots will be filled up by the end of the month, if not much sooner. If you have plan to join the course at a specific time to fit your own schedule, be sure to let me know so I can you can enroll at your earliest time.

Hello Andy, I might be wrong but did i read somewhere in quantnet that materials for C++ programming level I and level 2 are open to any users. If so do you think I can go through the material by any chance? I plan to join the next session of C++ programming due to some personal reasons.
Thanks!!

Andy Nguyen · 6/2/12

Hi Saurab
Yes, you can get full access to level 1 and 2. They are listed under here
Give it a try, download the materials and work on the homework. Join the discussion on our forum if you have any question about the hw.

Hi Andy, I already sent the payment but still have one question. Is it like that once you complete all 10 levels' requirement, you get done? Since I need to complete the course before August 19th to fulfill the requirement of MSCF CMU admission, I want to complete it as soon as possible. Thank you!

Andy Nguyen · 6/4/12

Hi
Welcome to the course. You are automatically enrolled after the payment as evident by the little badge under your avatar (C++ Level 1). Check your Inbox here, you should get a message from your TA.
You can get started right away and complete it as soon as you want. You need to complete all 10 levels (homework and quizzes). Once you pass quiz 10, you will schedule and take the final exam with your TA.
If you obtain an average of 70% or more on the course, you will receive a certificate from the Baruch MFE program.

Hello Andy
As I didn't have programming experience before, can I take this course? I mean will this course be too hard for me?

Hi Paul,
What would you be using this course for?
We have some students who completed our course without prior programming. The only way to learn is to sit down and code everyday, make mistakes, ask questions and improve on it. If you are really determined to learn, we are here to help.

You can always see others are doing the first set of hw right now https://www.quantnet.com/forum/forums/level-1.62/
Try your hand on a few problems. It can be fun once you get a hang of it.

Thank you for your prompt response. I have already done that but since I have not made any deposits, should I enroll now to secure a place? I read that the countdown timer will initiate once the payment has been made.

No. You should only pay the tuition when you are ready to enroll so that you won't waste any time.

Andy, thank u so much!
I wanna use this course as a supplement of my application package.
I have another question, will this be helpful if I wanna to apply for the MFE program of Baruch college?

Paul

Andy Nguyen · 6/11/12

Hi PaulKai
This is exactly the course you need to take. It's part of the pre-MFE program at Baruch where completion of this course will meet their C++ admission requirement.

Hi Andy,

I understand that the max time length for this course is 16 weeks. Do you have any stats on how many weeks do students finish the course on average? My concern is that I may get busy with work in the latter part of the 16 week time frame. Thanks.
