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.

Incredible learning experience. Every programmer in industry should take this course if only to dispel the idea that with the advent of cloud computing exponential algorithms can still ruin your day!

One of the best courses I have taken Coursera, edX or any MOOC provider. I will definately follow the algorithm path (Alg I, Alg II, Analysis of Algorithms)

The small quiz after each course and the programming assignment every week both provide an excellent opportunity for practice. A carefully designed course!

The instruction was very informative and clear. The assignments were creative and difficult enough, but to the point of struggle. Overall very good class.

Best data structure and algorithm class for beginners! The assignments are difficult, so it will be better if you have mastered one programming language.

Great one to start when you are trying to have your baby steps in this field. Very elegant code examples with very few lines for every method defined.

Both the lectures and assignments are enlightening. The ungraded interview questions help consolidating the knowledge acquired in every module too.

The videos are excellent, and the assignments are sufficiently challenging without being overwhelming. I'm only in Week 2, but am loving it so far.

Good mix of practical and theoretical knowledge. The level of difficulty is precise, not so easy you get bored, not so hard you get desincouraged.

Explain algorithm behavior in a impressive way. Strongly recommend to users like me that could not understand how the 2-3 tree or red-black works.

By Ádám C

Very detailed and good explanations. Priceless when the teacher can explain why red-black trees are called red-black, because they invented it. :)
