Asking one last time

Both the CS50 and the MIT 6.001 course are a joke when taken via MOOC. The programming exercises and exams are stupid easy. I did MIT 6.001 and was never challenged at all. Maybe you can get PLA credit for it, but you really shouldn't. It will leave you ill-prepared for real CS courses. Of these two courses, CS50 is the worse of the pair when prepping for CS.

the videos in the CS50 course are the same videos that the students at Harvard watch
the assignments are pretty much the same assignments Harvard students do

in week 5 you're already building linked lists, hash tables and tries in C

if you think going from nothing to being able to write a hash table and linked lists in C in 5 weeks is stupid easy then you should get a job at google

and if you're saying that learning to write linked lists and tries in C makes you ill prepared for a "real" CS course then I have to wonder what you think does prepare you
