intro to programming course

i am currently a junior in high school, and this summer i will be taking an american sign language class at my local community college. while looking through the course selection i came across an online class offered there called "introduction to computer programming: Language c++" now i have been learning c++ on my own since probably october 2013 so i am not exactly new to it. but i am by no means good. and im sure i have picked up some bad habits. also my knowledge is probably spread out in what i do know and what i should know.

Anyways what exactly would a course like this include?
Has anyone taken a class like this?

i have been seriously considering software engineering for a career.
so is it worth taking a class like this? Personally i would think any extra class would be worth it. especially if i find it interesting. do you agree? if not why and what should i be looking at instead if i really want to take a beginners course on c++?
Be prepared to have outdated information served up to you. You may be required to know both correct and common incorrect information for tests and exams.
and why exactly do you say that?
