Learner Reviews & Feedback for Discrete Optimization by The University of Melbourne

This course is the best available resource to understand the fundamentals behind all the discrete optimization techniques. One can gain so much clarity on the subject by listening to the terrific tutor.

Great course, the teacher is very clear and often goes into sufficient depth for the student to understand concepts.

Assignments are challenging and help understanding course content.

This course taught me many different approaches of discrete optimization such as local search models. In addition, it developed that I code in Python a algorithm which I designed.

I love it so much. Rather challenging , but excellent as it is clear and pushes you to improve in the fields you need (maths, modelization , programming, algorithms)

Well-defined course and interesting lecturer. He's highly engaging although the material of the course is pretty technical. Thanks a lot for making this course!!!!

Very good course for operation research aspirants. Assignments are very good to understand the problems and the complexity of the problems.Thanks to the team

i wish there was 6 start rating so i can give this prof his due, he made a very complicated subject look very simple and easy to understand thanks a million

Great course. The assignments are challenging and very interesting. I recommend trying to achieve 10/10 score, it may be very hard but you can learn a lot.

This is an amazing course to really help students explore the variety of techniques that are available to solve extremely hard optimization problems.

Awesome course, learned a lot for solving NP hard problem. It could be hard for people without basic algorithm and data structure background.

Professor Pascal is great! He manages to explain a lot of complex concepts while keeping it entertaining.

I'd highgly reccomend the course

Perfect delivery. Very smooth and nice. An adequate level of difficulty in assigments. The best online course I have passsed.

The course Materials and instructors are awesome.

This course is very good and essential in my point of view for researchers.

Great teacher - I loved the lessons, they were very well presented. The exercises were fun and I really learned a lot!

The class is great. Lectures are engaging and I can't believe how much I've learned, despite knowing nothing going in.

This course is HARD... but very rewarding. You should have some nice familiarity with programming before taking it.

Too good course! One of the very best courses on Coursera!

Thank you so much. It is a wonder to follow your course.

Ótimo curso, descontraído e projetado para facilitar. Material relevante que serve como introdução a mais estudos.

This was more than introduction for me. Loved every second for me, got grades, but will try to improve obviously.

This hard course really deserves 5.0. The Prof. is great and also the assignment is challenging. Love it.

I learned a lot in this course and it's definitely well managed and well taught by an amazing professor.

Best course I've taken on Coursera so far. Really challenges you to learn and apply algorithms/solvers.

Very thorough and nice course. Prof. Pascal can make even very difficult things funny and interesting!!

Well structured course. It was very entertaining to listen Prof. Hentenryck and doing assignments.

Just excellent. Exceptional teaching and well-formed, realistic assignments. Highly recommended.
