"While @Yale shifts to more specialized computer science introductory courses, @davidjmalan, who teaches @CS50 at @Harvard, will focus on a new partnership with the @UniofOxford. However, Malan looks back on his partnership with Yale as a 'perfect proof of concept' that higher education can be more collaborative. "'That two schools, rivals no less, could come together in this way educationally has been a remarkable thing. [I only wish more of higher education would embrace such collaborations, to lean on each other and provide students with all the more educational opportunities.] I don't think the world needs just one course in computer science. But I don't think we need thousands, each siloed within institutions. [Indeed, there's long been a tradition of faculty collaborating on research outside the classroom, but less so on education inside the classroom. It's been a delight, then, to collaborate with our colleagues at Yale on precisely the latter, to build a learning community of students and TAs alike across campuses. A perfect proof of concept, I do think, that more of higher education could and should be collaborating so.]'" #education #community

Something not working? Problem set harder than you expected? Or do you simply want to connect with people from all over the world taking @CS50’s courses? The best place for real-time Q&A (with humans!) is CS50’s Discord server at 👾 If you’ve finished one of CS50’s courses already, let us know your Discord username at We can give you an “alum role” so that when you answer questions, students know you might be able to help!

Q: What’s the difference between CS50x’s “less comfortable” and “more comfortable” problems? A: Some problem sets (i.e., programming assignments) offer problems for students less comfortable with computing and problems for students more comfortable with computing. Each week, you are welcome to do either or both! #FAQ50

Q: What’s the difference between @CS50 Certificates and @edXOnline Verified Certificates? A: An edX verified certificate “can provide proof for an employer, school, or other institution that you have successfully completed an online course.” A CS50 Certificate is a free certificate from CS50 itself. #FAQ50
