All i read in college is the theoretical concept about the algorithm and not it's implementation in actual programming language.

This course made me code the algorithm and in the process i learned lot about the chosen language as well as how we can efficiently write the code.

Thank you.

Keep up the good work!

Very nice course. Covers a lot of ground, theory and practice. Homework assignments are interesting. The autograder can be a pain, and most of the time you're not even sure what the problem with your algorithm is, but that's all part of the fun and challenge.

The instructors teach in clearly way. The assigments arenot too hard and can be solved with some google search or look in forum. Good course for beginer and also all of people who want to revise algorithms.

This course on algorithms is exceptionally good. Video lectures are very helpful. I especially loved exercises as each of them was unique & required a lot of brain storming.

The specialty of this course is the order in which they present the manner . It is very helpful especially if you are just starting to get a hang out of it

Learned lot of thing about Algorithms,Programming And Lot More To Learn,and It's great to

Watch Videos,

complete assignment and quiz.

I have learned how to do stress test of two different logic, that helped me a lot while choosing the best algorithm.

Great learning. Now I am a tad bit more confident about my algorithm skills. Need to practice more though.

Excelente curso, mientras lo realizaba recordé algunas técnicas para hacer algoritmos eficientes

Grader system is really nice to use; it helps to improve my debugging ability a lot. Good job!

Very good course to get into algorithmic thinking, design and algorithmic problem solving.

The content taught is the lecture is not sufficient to pass the practical assignments.

I request you to use a dark background on slides.

The working of the pseudocode is not clearly explained with examples. I find difficulty in understanding the working of the pseudocode on examples.

To much talk about how to calcule the Big(O) and no enough explaining about the content

Outdated. The course is More than 6 years old. Tech courses should be removed after 5 years. Coursera is just not doing that and this may waste a lot of learners time.

I am thankful to Coursera and all the professors who taught this course.

This course helps me to understand all basics of algorithm. Looking forward to use my knowledge which I gained from this.

This course is undoubtedly valuable. I definitely learned some skills that I am glad to have had real practice in. That said, you really have to do the majority of the work yourself. I have the CLRS book, the Dasgupta, and have watched a host of supplemental videos on YouTube, MIT OCW. This course is not an "all-in-one" solution. It's sorta like a high-level guide and tough challenges and a grader. The videos are decent, but by Mithras' eyelash they can be incredibly boring. Furthermore they don't take advantage of the video medium properly. The visual aids are really sub-par.

Also, be ready to repeat the course. I signed up in the late-summer and it took me all Fall. While I certainly was busy, the lack of support, the digging I had to do, the note-taking I had to do, the processing I had to do on my own all added a lot of work. I'm curious as to whether I've gotten better at "taking Coursera Classes" and will have better luck next class. I'm pessimistic.

Bad teaching quality.

I took the Python for Everybody course before this and this course was incredibly challenging for me. What should have been 6 weeks took me closer to one whole year to complete. The professors were very difficult to understand and used inconsistent wording or jargon that was definitely not necessary all the time. The course assumes that you have a certain level of understanding in discrete mathematics, but the supporting math course they recommend is no longer available. Overall it's outdated, there are no dedicated helpers in the forums, the teachers are not available and partway through the course (perhaps due to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine) some of the explanatory videos disappeared with no explanation and I had to find them on youtube. I can't recommend this course if you're a beginner programmer like myself. It's just too advanced. I did learn a lot, but I also spent about 500 USD on the coursera subscription just to get through the class. With maybe twice that kind of money, I could have taken a real time course with actual teachers.

The Course content is scattered at best, the instructors may be the best at what they do, infact they are one of the best, but not at being instructor, beside the very very strong unclear accent, the course material is just read from a slide with little to no actual teaching, i actually like to take serious and monotonous letures but this is not even a lecture to begin with. The assignments does not focus on the "Algorithms" part as much as it focuses on getting every single edge/test case accounted for, for that practice there are other platforms, not coursera.

Has there been 0 star option I would definitely give it so. Of many courses which I have completed on platforms like cousera, udemy, edx etc. this one is worst of all. It not anything but wasted my time. I regret enrolling this course. Even after watching videos 2-3 times I often have to watch other videos from youtube. The way of explaining by teachers is not fascinatig. In a nutshell if you are reading this comment please do not waste your time in this course. Rather watch youtube videos or learn from other platform.

1) The Task which you need to fullfill this course must be found in the discussion forum

2) The Task which must be fullfilled in Week5 will firstly explained in Week6 (+Each week has a different Teacher)

The worst corse i have done in Coursera!

This Course is really very helpful in understanding the basic algorithms and various efficient problem solving technique. Week assignments are very good and helped me evolve my skills in implementing solutions and to consider every possible kind of instances for a problem. I loved the lectures and the way professors explain things and touch every aspect of the topic. I enjoyed this course very much and have learnt much more than what I thought I required. I am really very thankful and grateful to the professors and the Coursera. Thank You Very Very much. :)

I always feared coding problems on divide and conquer and dynamic programming. The way this course gradually took me from easy stuffs to advanced was awesome. After doing the course, I feel confident on coding difficult problems. I also appreciate the granularity of topic that this course covers. I took many courses but nowhere until now, I have seen courses that cover how to test and debug your code. Great Course and much take course in case one wants to get good at competitive programming. Good Job teachers. Your efforts are appreciated.

Really nice course that get's you started to the world of algorithms. It has a balanced progression and introduction to basic concepts, but highly recommend to do all the optional assignments since they help absorb all the presented material to the fullest extent. But to solidify the knowledge gained, I would recommend to solve more problems on the introduced concepts since I feel this course falls short in number of diverse problem statements to be able to think on how to apply the concepts in different scenarios.

I recommand for everybody. Teachers explain all from the basic level, and you shouldn't be afraid, you will understand all algorithms from this course. I like this course and this specialization very much

Для русского язычного населения тоже очень рекомендую, английский базового уровня, преподаватели с хорошим произношением, просто огонь. Сам курс вам тоже очень понравится. Очень нравится, что сначала дают теорию, а потом сразу к этой теории задачи, чтобы вы всё смогли отработать

Thanks for this course
