It appears we have to do our own research. Here's something from the introductory material:

There will be two lectures (60-75 minutes each) each week. The lectures are divided into about 4-6 segments, separated by interactive quiz questions for you to to help you process and understand the material.

This leads me to believe that the transcript is word-for-word unedited and includes all the casual pause words and spontaneous rephrasings or abbreviated styles of speech that actually occurred during the lectures, as well as some spoken material which may have been accompanied by gestures which are lost in the transcript, possibly rendering their meaning somewhat cryptic.

Here's a larger segment of the quote.

In this one, we're going to sort file, file's name in a given directory. So again we use the File class from Java and we use, we go and use the listFiles() method from that class to get an array that contains all the file names in the given directory. That's an array with file names in it and Insertion.sort() takes that array as its first argument and again sorts them and then we go ahead and use as, go through them one by one and print them and they come out in order of file name.

"go and" and "go ahead and" are typical casual usages before a verb.
"as" looks to me like a case where the speaker just plain stopped forming his sentence and finished his thought with a different sentence structure.

It would be very courteous for a poster to include a link and/or context.

If it is a transcription, then I expect there to be lots of sentence fragments, phrase repetitions and filler words. It's just the way people speak as contrasted with the way they write.

Madam, I recently enrolled in a Coursera course on computer Algorithms and I read it in a transcript. Unfortunately though. the course site says the material is copyrighted.
I don't know how Calif Jim found that.
