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

Good course for people who forgot or never ever knew combinatorics and probability theory. A lot of applications and examples, but teachers pronounciation is not the best. I am russian but even for me it was difficult sometimes=)

Great course. The final Project unclear had instructions on how to provide input. I spent a lot of time trying to troubleshoot it even though I already have a correct solution

This course provided me with new ways to confront the problems of combinatorics. I am very grateful to the faculty for their content and coursera for giving me financial aid.

Everything except Week 4 was great. Alexander Shen the instructor for week 4 cannot explain a concept without adding more confusion to the subject.

Awesome course, good topics. Easy to get help. Some topics weren't that clear at first, but you'll eventually understand.

In this course, the use of language is a huge obstacle for students to understand the teachers clearly.

Very good course. I learned a lot of things although I think it would be better to have more examples.

The course had amazing content and everything except the probability had a top-notch explanation.

I think the level could have been a bit more advanced. Overall a good course though.

English was not that much of good, but the contents were awesome. Learned so much.

Probability courses could have been more structured and more about definitions

Для новичков в теорвере на 4, чисто база которую нужно дальше развивать

it was really amazing to work on this course!!

it's good in general. But slightly too simple.

The probability section could be more visual.

Great course with lots of exercises.

Prof Vlad has really great examples!

Probability section was little weak

The last assignment is fun :)

It was very good

Awesome course

The course is fine, but there are some problems. First, the instructors' explanations in the video sometimes inaudible. One should be careful when watching the lecture video. Second, there are some grammatical mistakes, particularly in the last week (Week 6). As far as I know, die is singular and dice is plural. There is no word "dices", yet one of the instructors uses this terminology. Third, there are some notational differences in this course to those normally used in probability theory. I don't know why the instructors use the lowercase variables f and g (instead of the standards X and Y) to denote random variables. And finally, some of the proofs are not rigorously explained. I advise whoever taking this class to refer to any standard textbook in combinatorics and probability theory. Nevertheless, despite all these problems, this course combines mathematical thinking and programming in an interesting setting. Perhaps, this is how mathematics is delivered in Russia, which is renown for its competitive programming achievements.

Some exercises are challenging, but I think the course is not well organized. If you're newbie to probability, it's not the course for you, because it's not comprehensive. If you had already studied probability, like me, this course allows you to review some concepts, but not all.

If I'd take a course of combinatorics and probability I'd rather choose the MIT Course from Edx, if it were available. I've watched some classes as an audit and it's far better.

This is course is informative, but the instructors in general are terrible. I do not like too much the approach the follow, and I cannot see a good mathematical background. In addition, some explanations are very vague. The contents of the course are great, but I strongly recommend reviewing materials by yourself if you really want to learn.

This course really brought the best out of me in terms of logical programming. The last task needed hours of hard work, but was a fun challenge. However, I felt that the instructors could have been a bit more responsive on the forums to help us clear our doubts.
