it was good learning and excellent

An amazing course for Algo Lovers.

It was a very productive course

Extremely useful course.

SELF PACED BEST COURSE

Exceptional material!

it is a nice course!

Highly Recommended.

Excellent intro

Outstanding

good

This course requires a solid understanding of basic algorithms to be able to solve programming assignments. It wasn't clear why this course is the first in this specialization as seems like Dynamic Programming is a more advanced topic than those discussed in the second course in this specialization.

I disagree with the idea of not sharing test cases as some edge cases are super hard to be noticed on your own and sometimes just by examining a test case, one may understand the problem. But instead, one may be disoriented after getting a "wrong answer" without any other hints.

the over all course is excellent but the last weeks (dynamic programming week) is hard to understand. make deep dive videos tutorial on dynamic programming specially <Longest common sub-sequence> and <edit distance between two strings> my experience for this weeks is not to good. my rating for the Dynamic Programming week is ** / ***** (2 star out of 5)

The course subjects are nice, and the problems are interesting, I only have a couple of issues. Dynamic Programming issues are poorly covered, not as the rest of the topics, and sometimes you struggle more with language-specific caveats than the problem itself, definitely, the programming language options should be wider

The course content is really great. It helps with learning algorithms in a very neat and organised way.

However, the grading system is little bit hard to use. It is not interactive by any means and breaks sometimes with changing behavior.

I liked the possibility to submit Python programs and get evaluated.

Sometime the reply was just "wrong answer", which is not helpful.

Also, the lecturers work too fast on new concepts, which make the lectures hard to follow.

Pretty good, lots of good practice but it gets extremely difficult later in the course. And since this is just the first course of the specialization, I think this specialization is going to be tough as hell

language of professor in a dynamic programming part 1 is tough to understand and makes he concept even harder to understand through videos.(this is only for week5)

Course tends to get really difficult in the dynamic programming weeks but nonetheless it is very carefully crafted for maximum clarity of concepts.

The lectures are hit and miss. Some are helpful, and others are pretty hard to follow. The coding challenges are helpful.

3.5/5

The course was quite good but not for absolute beginners. Many things you will have to research yourself.

the last week 5 was very difficult to understand

If you're a self-taught coder, then you should take this course. It teaches you how to construct efficient and working algorithm. It's getting harder when it comes to Divide-and-Conquer because it is hard to imagine and also in the Dynamic Programming because the lecturer does not start with the definition of DP itself. The 'language' used by the lecturers in some sense is hard to be understood. Also, the mentors and people in the forum is not so active. I already asked several questions in the forum, but until now there's no responses.

The amazing thing about this course is it is the PROGRAMMING ASSIGNMENT. It'll force you to find external references. You have to spend more time than the estimated time from Coursera.

Week 4-5 and 6 I think you can do better videos lectures. They were AWFUL compared to other courses. The concepts and topics you explained were very difficult and you usually jumped from A to Z without explaining a thing. The slides could have helped a lot but they were VERY bad too. I skipped a lot of your videos and went to youtube to learn.

The forum is pretty dead compared to other courses, it felt like you are by your own.

Nevertheless, the assignments were challenging and I learned a lot.
