The course provides a broad overview of essential data structures and algorithms in an easily comprehensible manner and without delving too much into mathematical proofs. However, despite the good lectures and an elegant, concisely-written accompanying Java library that implements almost all the demonstrated algorithms in the course, learners would benefit much more if the programming assignments are easier, or the assignments are provided with more guidance. This is because these assignments seem specifically designed for university students and not Coursera learners, and indeed in the official course taught at Princeton, some of the same assignments even require working with a partner. Furthermore, the course seems to take a passive approach in developing learners' understanding of its algorithms by providing the written code (again, very concise and easy to understand) and learners peek behind the code instead of implementing it themselves; this may work well for an introductory course, but does not solidify some tricky concepts as well as requiring students for implementations based on the lectures and slides.
