About the Course

The primary topics in this part of the specialization are: data structures (heaps, balanced search trees, hash tables, bloom filters), graph primitives (applications of breadth-first and depth-first search, connectivity, shortest paths), and their applications (ranging from deduplication to social network analysis)....

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.

OK

The course was very interesting. As a person who struggles with problem-solving, I found this course very helpful because the professor's ideas are well explained. It makes me to learn more.

Generally useful and good course in terms of content. But, explaining things is often unecessarily long and often unclear. The hand writing in slides do not help much in being clear either.

The biggest disapointment is the poor explanation of Dijkstra algorithm. I knew how the algorithm works and still struggled to understand the explanation. I pitty those who learn about Dijksta first time here.

I feel it is an ok course, however the assignments can be made better. The assignments in Alogorithms offered by princeton are more interesting and meaningful.

Some of the problem sets were a little fiddly. Especially the last one, which was crushingly terrible if you tried to actual use the solution he told you to.

Sometimes badly synchronized, there are also mistakes in the videos which haven't been corrected.
