About the Course
Top reviews
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!

•Great course. Sedgewick has good educational skills. The course also contains good examples and interesting assignments. I struggled a bit with the first assignments, but then I liked the last 2 better. Looking forward to part 2.

•Excellent course. Good lectures and interesting and challenging problems. Only drawback is that we are forced to use Java. It obviously helps with grading, but would have liked to use a language I am more familiar with.
By Ritwik B
•The course focuses on Java specific implementations of algorithms, so if you're not from a Java background, you would have a little difficulty with the assignments.The course content however is great.
By Maxim B
•I think it is a good course. I have known more about time complexity of algorithms and some applications of different kinds of the algorithms. I have spent more time then I though for this course.
By Hector E G G
•It is really good course. However for me, I took more time than the specified to solve the problems. I needed to do some research in the forums, because the instructions were not clear sometimes.
By Dmytro A
•The course lost a lot without tests. Theory is great. Assignments are pain in the azz - too much is assumed here and there. You must resubmit like a dozen of times to figure out what is wrong.
By Bryce W
•The lectures were easy to understand and the teacher did a good job explaining the material, however the assignments were a little vague and it was hard to understand exactly how to do them.
By Shuxun C
•Really good course to learn fundamental knowledge on algorithm. Programming assignment is very useful. However, lots of details of algorithm are not covered due to time constraint
By Robert O
•content is great but the discussion forum is a little sparse, some of the assignments are significantly more challenging than others but the course was very rewarding to complete
By Vishesh T
•The course is awesome. It's absolutely for beginners. If it had been in C++, it would be better and more interesting. Professors are awesome. I haven't seen any course like this.
By Robert R
•The course is very difficult, but the quality is excellent. Due to the stringent grading of the program submissions, I believe more help should offered for each assignment.
By Ioannis A
•Very nice training, I enjoyed mostly the applications of them by implementing the programming assignments. What is missing is a training certification though.
By Benjamin B
•Overall, very good course. The only thing keeping this from being a 5-star course is the lack of resources around comparing completed programming assignments.
By nqminhuit
•This course is very useful, the assignments are challenging. The autograder is well prepared and very helpful on improving my implementation of algorithms.
By Rushirajsinh P
•The Explanation is good and in depth.Just please write Java Code in the new standard i.e. like using System.out.println(...) instead of StdOut or StdIn
By ज्योतिष्क घ
•Good lectures, challenging assignments. Though the explanation of the assignments are very hard to understand, need to work on it to make it simple.
By Daniel L
•Lectures and content are good. Was probably better on the old coursera platform, since a lot of the exercises have never been migrated over.
By Tung V
•Challenging assignments, great code example from book site. However, the way the author delivers speech is not really easy to understand.
By Unai E
•its a great course, but, unfortunatelly not all exercises all graded and are important ones.
Anyway, I recommend this course to everyone
By Pietro G
•4 stars because the assignments are not always clear, and Java doesn't help.
Great instructor and time well spent in my opinion!
By Daniel O
•Excellent course, a little bit difficult with some activities, but Is a good approach to understand the basis of algorithms.
By Rishikesh J
•Every thing is perfect, its just that if users was not bound by the use of programming language, then it would be perfect.
By Christien K
•The assignments are extremely challenging and enjoyable. The videos can get a bit confusing, but overall a great course.
By Jorge A R G
•they clearly explained about algorithms foundations with code challenges for practice the lessons every week 👍
By Kumar H
•It's a very good and knowledgeable course but little bit boring. You guys make it little bit more interesting
