Well welcome to the final video of the fundamentals of computing specialization. Hopefully by now you've finished the final capstone exam and we really hope you've been successful. [LAUGH] We just wanted to share kind of a few final thoughts about the specialization, help celebrate this moment. >> I thank everyone for joining us in algorithmic thinking. I do hope that you had fun in the course, I definitely had fun in the course, working with Joe and Scott on the, on the material. I did enjoy working on the, on the course, and preparing the material. I believe it made me a much better teacher, especially looking at the questions that you all raised. And we have taught this course at tries word for four years, and you raised many new questions that we didn't think about before. >> [LAUGH]. >> And that actually helped us improve the material, and also help us think about how to present this material better in the next time. Not only in the MOOC, but also in the version as well. >> So this specialization has been years in the making. It's been a long process, but it's been a fun process. I've really enjoyed working with Joe and Lui and the instructors to bring you this material. And it's made me a better teacher, I think, that the way that things have run in the MOOC are very different than the way things run on campus. And so I thought I'd learned, you know, how to teach on campus, but interacting with students online and seeing the kinds of questions and the kinds of mistakes that people made and the misinterpretations has helped me to become an even better teacher. And I think this has affected the way that I teach both online and on-campus. So, I have definitely enjoyed the whole process. I feel like I've grown as a teacher and I hope you've grown as a student. >> I wanted to share a couple of thoughts about this. First, all of you, in MOOC it's really hard to get to know every single student but when I look over the roster of the students that are taking the capstone exam I'm really struck by how many of you have actually interacted with both in the forums and through help desk. It's really satisfying to see the progression of the students through the specialization, and I hope you feel like you really learned something. I think for example, specialization provides a great springboard to going onto upper level CS MOOCs, where you can continue your education in computer science. I really hope all of you have a great career in it. I also want to share my kind of love and admiration for my colleagues. >> [LAUGH] >> They're a little bit like brothers in the sense that we had a lot of great times together and we actually had a lot of fun kind of picking at each other. For example, I took great glee in Luai admitting finally that an assignment that he had given for four years in his class involved using a graph that wasn't connected. [LAUGH] Luai's comment was, I didn't know that. [LAUGH] We've done this for four years and nobody figured out the citation graph wasn't connected. And for Scott, it was great having the three of us, because I could never gang up and beat Scott by myself. >> [LAUGH] >> But with you guys' help I could really kind of finally, Scott, no, no, no you're wrong, you're wrong. Look, [INAUDIBLE] says you're wrong. So anyways, it was a blast working with everyone, it was blast working with them. And, you know what. Hopefully our paths will croth, cross again in the future in another class. So, to conclude, for everyone who has finished the fundamentals of computing specialization, we'd like to have a toast. So, here's to all of you. It was great working with you. Scott, what exactly is that anyways, there? >> You'll never know. >> [LAUGH] See everyone around.
