学生对 加州大学圣地亚哥分校 提供的 Combinatorics and Probability 的评价和反馈

Some of the concepts proved difficult on initial inspection but the videos made concepts clear and the quizzes ensure I understood the concept before moving on.

I really enjoyed taking this course. The teaching was pretty good and some of the quiz questions will challenge you if you haven't done Combinatorics before.

Great lessons, great instructors, literacy slides, this course has everything. I'm so proud to complete two out of five courses in this specialization!

Amazing course, gave me geometrical intuitions some times that made understanding a whole lot easier. The explanation was quite clear.

Difficult topics discussed in easy to understand ways and uses fun and interesting problems/exercises to test your understanding.

informative material presented clearly and simply. I had studied bayes before and it was nice to get a concise review.

I am grateful to the teachers for such an amazing journey throughout the courses. Especially the puzzles designed.

Fantastic course! Really like Vladimir Podolskii's explanations and sense of humor. Great dice game at the end!

Great course, I really enjoyed it. Concepts becomes more clear if you have already studied combinatorics.

A great course that is well organized. I love Professor Alexander Shen, because he makes me happy.

I'm loving the discreet math in cs specialization and solving these problems is very rewarding!!!

If you really want to have a greater grasp over mathematics, don't miss this course.

The explanations with examples and simulations make the concepts crystal clear.

This course is aptly difficult as it should be

A brilliant introduction to combinatorics and probability. The professors bring some method to the madness of combinatorics by drawing an extremely helpful quadrant (ordered or unordered vs with repetition or without repetition) to explain how to structurally approach combinatorics problems. The lessons on probability cover probability and random variables, with some well chosen problems to demonstrate why we need both concepts. Finally, the project in week 6 is extremely helpful for people who are rusty in programming, allowing them to implement a solution leveraging combinatorics and python programming.

Pros: (1). Most of the quizzes are really well-designed and fun, sometimes challenging, but good for solidifying my understanding. (2) Lectures are generally of good quality.

Cons:(1) The material is not comprehensive, especially the probability part, expectation and stuff. But I guess this is a difficult balance when making an online course.

(2) The final project is very basic for anyone who knows programming well. Considering this course targets CS students (I guess?), I don't understand why people complain about the programming assignments. And I think it should be more challenging.

It was fantastic and awesome. This course is quite challenging but also interesting at the same time. You'll get assignments about combinatorics in the first half and about probabilities in the last half. In the end, you can practice what have you got from this course on the final project, a programming assignment about a dice game. Hope you can enjoy this course.

This course does have some coding challenges which are at the same time very interesting. Actually, I did not think much about combinatorics in terms of coding but this was a very nice opportunity to learn more about mathematical thinking for programming and problem-solving.

I like this course and it is puzzle oriented teaching methodology. Instructors were great and their way of teaching makes material easy to understand and stick in mind. This was a introductory course looking forward to more advanced courses.

The Course is awesome if you know some basic maths. The instructors have a good way of teaching. The problems in middle of videos help in understanding better. The problems in tests are usually helpful in getting a better understanding

It's a perfect introduction to combinatorics and probability, short, fun, and easy to understand. I would like to see more puzzles, those are extremely fun and interesting

I lacked confidence in permutations and combinations since my high school, but now i am enjoying solving combinatorial problems. Thanks to professors

The final project is hard for me cuz I don't have Python experience. and the logic is a little bit complicated. That's not for absolutely beginners!

It was pretty interesting. Although, the requirement to know the python programming in the last course task was really unexpected to me.

I've covered these topics before but there were a lot of great problems and extensions of concepts in this course. Worth doing.
