Extremely bad teaching style, Algorithms can not be taught like this through static Power points.

Its extremely important to do white boarding with thorough dry run of algorithms with examples..

Very disappointed with this course, I have completed almost 20 courses on coursera but unfortunately this is the first course where i have to give up.

Great opportunity to learn the algorithms. Challenging at times trying to figure out where your code went wrong, but you eventually get through it. Assignments can take a bit of time.

Excellent course about a fascinating, sometimes difficult topic. The underlying ideas of the selected algorithms are well presented in the videos. The real challenge is to implement the details in the programming problems, required for the completion of the course.

There where some issues though: The video editing is really bad, making it sometimes very difficult to follow the lecturer. Deliberate use of the video player's pause and rewind functions helps a bit there.

The lecture slides were not available for download. Which was a problem when reviewing a certain topic before implementation.

In summary I still think that the combination of conceptional (theoretical) video lectures followed by the concrete implementation against an automated testing system is the best way to learn algorithms for any practitioner.

Some portions are taught in a great way,some in very average manner.If they can include the running animations for each algorithms,then i would have rated 5-star.Overall,a satisfactory experience.

I was not very impressed. Another reviewer commented that this is a poor way to teach algorithms, and I agree: it is much too static, you have to see algorithms in action. Also, the video editing is frankly horrible. Every couple of seconds a transition between the lecturer and a whiteboard?!? How the hell can you look & listen & think? A more-static split screen would have been much better. Because I took this course during coronatime, I'll give it three stars... my inclination would otherwise be two stars.

Topics are interesting but the not all questions are answered in the discussion forums

Good but difficult course! The course is very algorithm-oriented course. Teaching method is a bit bland but the programming exercises are very good and difficult. It does not cover much of the theoretical aspects of computational geometry like Voronoi Diagrams etc.

The programming problem set is quite difficult and requires you to be very good at data structures and algorithms. Some of the exercises may also have many edge cases so you may need to look at the discussion forums frequently to try out certain test cases. Most of the exercises also require you to refer or search for external resources for figuring out how to implement them.

A better title for the course would be, 'Analysis of Computational Geometric Algorithms'.
