Informative lectures and well-designed programming assignments that teach you the low-level details of various data structures and algorithms. Taught in a way that is very manageable for someone with a reasonable grounding in maths and programming. Accessible even if you aren't familiar with Java (coming from a Python background, I found the learning curve quite smooth).

This course has an excellent structure. You get a real motivation, why you need algorithm, you understand how it works (with mathematical proof if it's not really complicated), its time/memory efficiency, and finally you practice it. Also, you can learn some Java through this course. I really like how Robert Sedgewick explains course material. Thanks for this experience.

When I started out, I didn't know what to expect. But now that I've completed the course, I can boldly say I know a great deal about a few algorithms. This course made my first exposure to algorithms and data structures a wonderful. I feel confident going further. The option to reset the deadline ensured that I completed the course on my own. Thank you, for this course

I enrolled this course last year and quit at week 3. But I finished it this time and it's the first CS MOOC I finished. It's a really hard but really worthful six-week. It led me into the world of algorithm and helped me improved my English a lot.

Thanks to Sedgewick's gorgeous lectures, Wayne's patient answers at Discuss forum and every fellows participate this course.

Best online course I've seen. Clear, good paced, nice assignments and interview questions, cute little review question after each video. I used to dislike computer science, but this video made me register into a part-time graduate program in CS in an university of my local area. That's when I realized that not every instructor is the same and why I used to dislike CS.

The course gives a very clear and structured introduction to algorithms. The assignments are are of very good quality, a bit challenging but not too difficult. Furthermore, I found the course quite inspiring because Sedgewick gives a lot of examples and mentions a couple of still open questions where applicable. He also gives a few examples from his own experience.

Great course -- very detailed reference material in the form of the free online textbook site, well-delivered content in the video lectures and slides. Assignments are interesting applications of the material and make sure you understand the material before moving on, with good feedback from the autograder that make it easy to see where you could be doing better.

This course is really useful for someone looking to work on their software engineering interviews like me. The videos and explanations are very clear and the code examples are useful to study. This course assignments are in Java which was initially difficult for me but the java concepts used are not very advanced and can be easily transferred to other languages.

Great course for learning algorithms! The lecture combines in-depth analysis of algorithms with straightforward demonstration. The homework is well-designed. Dr. Sedgewick has already written a giant library of algorithms implementation for us. So basically the idea of the homework is to apply the algorithm for practical problems. Overall, 11/10 would recommend!

Greate content, greate assignment, and lectures are very clear.

There are some questions in the interview section, I did not understand, It will be good is you provide answers to those question too.

But overall Greate Greate Greate content, It helps a lot to build my concept and fundamentals on DS and ALGORITHMS.

Hope we will find some more course like this one.

This course has significantly enhanced my understanding of Algorithms and Data Structures, as well as solidified my Java programming skills. The assignments are challenging but incredibly rewarding upon completion. I strongly recommend acquiring a solid foundation in Java before enrolling, as the course materials and projects are exclusively in this language.

The course material is great. The assignments are challenging but the forums are super helpful. Since the course is on for a bit of time there are many threads with information to help with assignments. The videos are great. This course certainly helped me get a better understanding of essential algorithms and I can apply this knowledge in my day-to-day work.

This course is thorough and rigorous. It was a great learning experience for me and few other resources online match up to the quality of this course. I loved the assignments as they pushed me and helped me internalize all the concepts. I would recommend this course to anyone who is passionate and serious about learning Algorithms (and some Data Structures).

This course is literally one of the greatest courses I've taken online. It has everything an online course needs. Some interesting qualities of this course are: the questions between videos, the animation of algorithms, and the useful assignments.

I would say if you need to take any algorithm course, you must take this course without any doubt or hesitation.

Pretty good course for the first time java programmer. It covers most of the basic algorithms required to understand by a computer scientist. Really like the idea of place introduction of iterator and comparator within this class. It really boost my understanding of JAVA programming language. Would like to recommend this course to all my classmate. It helps!

I work outside of this field. No prior education, interest, foundation. So far so good. Will surely be stumped by parts of this, but along for the ride. I am best educated via imagery at times, especially in discussing concrete subjects. I stopped at calculus I. I didn't do so well.... I tried.... we'll see how this goes. I"m glad this is here.

This course is an excellent introduction to thinking about algorithms and data structures.

It is challenging, in that the assignments can feel overwhelming, but the discussion forums are an excellent place to ask for any clarification.

The videos are very helpful, consistent, and well-paced, and the instructor is incredibly knowledgeable and articulate.

I learned so many things even though I was familiar with the concepts but this course helped me think differently. This course also helped me to understand the use of all the data structures and algorithms with the help of real-life examples. Big Thanks to Princeton University and all the people who worked together to make these two AMAZING Courses.

The course is well designed for student with little background in computer science. The best thing about it is that it combines the theory with implementation and the system model. When I took the course at college, the instructor split them to emphasize the idea of abstraction. However, this usually results in more confusion for students like me.

this course is a must. i first did it (online) back in 2010? and it still gives the same makes data-types and algos easy to study. at my uni (greece) i couldnt stand algos course, so i attended this one and then scored, easily, a 10/10 at uni. without ever attending or reading that specific course. second best was an 8/10. i still tell this story!

Exceptionally good Lecturer and the course. Booksite, video materials and assignments are amazing. Would recommend this course to everyone! The only improvement i would suggest is the explanation of nearest neighbor search in KD tree. Critical information when to prune the search is not really explained so additional resources should be consulted.

This is an excellent course for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of algorithms and data structures. It is well-taught, comprehensive, and provides a solid foundation for further studies in computer science. Ideal for intermediate learners, it demands dedication but offers substantial rewards in terms of knowledge and practical skills.

I'm very satisfied with the difficulty of the exercises. I expected them to be easy but I actually had to think while doing them (which is great!). The topics are on point, it was fairly easy to understand them. I enjoy listening to Dr. Sedgewick explain stuff I didn't even think are worth considering. Looking forward for Part II of the course!

This is totally 5 stars for me. Though it was hard, and I get stuck for several hours at some problem sets, but I really did learn a lot. Got a lot of A's in my DSA class because of this supplementary learning material. To anyone starting out, before you watch the video lectures, read the recommended chapters first in his textbook Algorithms.

Excellent course. Professor Sedgewick teach at perfect pace. Level of details in excercises is top notch too. I especially liked the Red-Black BST (left leaning) lesson. After understanding it, it feels like the only intuitive implementation. Very much satisfied with the course overall.

I'm gonna enroll for part 2 now. Let's see how that goes.
