One of the best courses, really learned a lot

Great course for every software professional.

The best course at Coursera I've had so far.

excellent and amazing experience

Great course, enjoyed each hour.

Really interesting and engaging

useful for optimize researcher

Great course! Very challenging

good, good, but some difficult

This course is very good

Great course!! Love it!!

greatest course ever

I love this course!

Very good course.

Nice hats though

Extraordinary...

superb !!!!!!!

Wonderful!

Very good

The quality of the lectures, as well as of the teaching material (slides, exercises, etc.), is just excellent. Thanks a lot to the instructors for putting so much effort in preparing it! Although having worked with optimization for a few years, I could learn a lot from this course. For someone aiming at learning optimization, there are not many well-structured courses/resources available; and this is surely one of the best resources I have found in years.

The course is difficult - much more difficult than other data science courses on Coursera - and thus requires many hours, good programming skills, and some dedication. But for me it was surely worth it!

My only remark/negative feedback is the lack of guidance - especially at the very beginning - on what external resources students are supposed to use for the assignments. I understand that this is in part intentional in order to make the course more challenging; however, compared to other courses I took, I feel that here the guidance is sometimes excessively little, and it is quite easy to get stuck on a given exercise. I honestly felt a bit lost at the beginning, and doubted whether it made sense to continue the course. Also, having access or not to licences of professional tools can make a significant difference in the level of difficulty of the assignments (implementing from scratch some solvers is, in some cases, a rather difficult task, which also requires quite advanced programming skills). I really think that providing more guidance/instructions on this would be of very high benefit here. There is actually a video which partly addresses this point, but it is only at the end of Week 3 (I guess many people abandon before having seen it - I recommend students to watch it at the very beginning).

Also, possibly related to this, my feeling is that currently the course is far less active than in the last years; the forums are not very active, and very seldom instructors/tutors intervene in the discussion.

Pascal is highly engaging lecturer. The course is superb, but is indeed advanced. Not very suitable as an intro to a topic (the way I tried to use it). Scraped through though, and rather proud of it :-)

I've enjoyed a lot this challenging course. To get a 10 in all the assignments is very hard. But 7 is achievable.

Challenging. I have missed some more explanation about algorithms....

great lesson should be a little bit more programming friendly

Great course, but a heavy workload.
