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!

Everything was great in this course, only complaint was the collinear points assignment. For some reason, the auto-grader was messing up and you had to have the LineSegment.java file in the zip file, but if you did it normally with or without the LineSegment.java file in the zip you will get a 0, since the auto-grader will complain. There was no mentor that helped with the problem (There was another thread that has since been deleted). It was only until another user mentioned putting everything in LineSegment after the BruteCollinearPoints and FastCollinearPoints. However, this approach is generally not a good practice since you now have two outer classes in two different files, and the class LineSegment is the same in both. It also means that you will always lose 5% due to style checks, since we are forced to put the class of LineSegment into each java files (Brute and Fast). Not sure why the auto-gradered needed LineSegment.java when it wasn't part of the requirement. For these reasons, I deducted 2 stars.

As someone who works full time, this course assigns too much work for per week. In addition, instructions for assignments are not clear enough and the link between assignments and lecture content is often not pointed out clearly.

they must take assignments are compatible to other language also but not only java
because it is not a language course it is a dsa course

The topics are discussed in kind of a too broad and generic way. Some lectures are great others are a bit dry.

The course is really good, but too much time is dedicated to programming rather than actual mathematics

A strong java background is needed, there is no much documentation about algs4 package
