Since I am relatively new to computer science, this course is a little bit hard.But, overall it's ok and the course also mentioned the similar material is taken by sophomores, juniors and seniors.
Algorithms
Algorithms are the heart of computer science, and the subject has countless practical applications as well as intellectual depth. This specialization is an introduction to algorithms for learners with at least a little programming experience. The specialization is rigorous but emphasizes the big picture and conceptual understanding over low-level implementation and mathematical details. After completing this specialization, you will be well-positioned to ace your technical interviews and speak fluently about algorithms with other programmers and computer scientists. About the instructor: Tim Roughgarden has been a professor in the Computer Science Department at Stanford University since 2004. He has taught and published extensively on the subject of algorithms and their applications.

Awesome course! Professor Roughgarden is fantastic. The material was appropriately challenging. Perfect amount of rigor. Only one minor squabble: the hash problem set is terribly misleading.

Course is great. However, for me, there's some lecture I cannot understand so I have to find another course with more explanation.

This is the most challenging course in this specialization. Assignments as well as test questions require good amount of thinking. One of the best courses I did on Coursera.
