Explanations are unnecessarily confusing and of very poor quality especially from week 5. One already has to be an expert in algorithms before taking this course.

This courser does not give a good explanation of the topics specified in the course syllabus.

Without good resources it is very difficult to solve the problems .

The language of the lecturer is soo noisy and can't understand the words.

After Listening to the first lecture itself I'm unenrolling from the course.

It's hard to follow, definitely not for beginners. But I have learned a lot of stuff about about different algorithms and BIG O notation.

Feedback in assignment is not good enough.

For example, for the points and segment, there are no correct answer in output as a reference.

Teachers and faculties are not very good at explanation. Moreover all of them had boring faces like they are not interested to teach us.

The content should be more beginner friendly. It quickly transitions pace to intermediate level. I found week 3 to 5 very difficult.

The programming technique - like DP, Greedy could have been better. I had to go to other website to better understand the concepts.

Poorly explanied in half of the course like Dynamic Programming, and all Pavel parts exluding the Change Problem

Course was not clearly explained. I had difficulty following along with the course materials.

Some Algorithm are not clear, and the homework submission system is not friendly at all!

Things are just too complicated. Course could have easily been made easy to understand.

Teaching technique can be better and more interesting. Not so suitable for beginners.

Was useful to week 4

after that the explanation of the algorithms became very poor

Need To improve more about clearing the topics and also the assignment.

not intuitive or helpful as to how to get started in the compiler

Videos are not sufficient to clear all the assignment problems.

The course is not very specific for my subjects .

I genuinly couldn't follow it,Sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Too fast explanations in DP section

it's very hard

not very good

outdated

not good

Great material terrible support.

The course material is top notch, the teachers are good the course is concise and on topic and the assessments are well targeted and interesting. So what's my problem? It's the terrible automatic review system and the non-existent educator support.

I using rust for this course as it's a language I like and being low-level it's relatively well suited to this kind of thing. However, rust is a language which heavily embraces external crates (libraries for most other languages) and therefore sometimes crates are needed for even relatively simple things. In this instance I needed a crate to help me sort f64 values (it is possible without the crate but it's quite a faff). I therefore put a message in to asking about how to use external crates as the system doesn't seem to allow it. After a month and two support tickets with Coursera (both times with their representatives contacting the Educators) I have still yet to hear a reply.

Having done a bit of digging, only one of their educators has ever replied to a discussion (he has 708 replies total which is extremely few considering 300,000 people are enrolled and the specialisation has 6 modules) and he has no recent replied.

As an additional point the automatic grader does not appear to be being maintained. In one instance my code failed to compile because it contained the .split_once() function. This function was to the language added in May 2021 meaning that at a minimum the rust compiler they are using is almost two years out of date.
