This is a great class. I learned / re-learned a ton. The assignments were challenge and left a definite feel of accomplishment. The programming environment and automated grading system were excellent.

Great course. As for me it is ideal. I dont have a CS degree, but works as java developer. The course shows me the beauty of algorithms!

The lecturer explains everything very slowly and clearly - I recommend 1.75x speed for a brisker pace. The assignments are really fun!

Great course. Just wish the assignments would be more about making the data structures and algorithms instead of just applying them.
