Still stuck at Problem 5 of Week 1, had to left this problem undone.

Wondering if the mentors or professors can send those who completed the course the standard/reference solution/program via Email???

Its a very good course overall. Just felt that towards the end the material got too much to digest, might be a good idea to split the contents of weeks 3 and 4 into 3 or 4 weeks.

It would be nice if you could deliver the problem's solutions after the course ended. I ran out of ideas for the BetterBWMatching problem and i couldn't overcome the time issues.

A good course giving insight into how important string algorithms are for not only to computer science community but also its use in other disciplines like bioinformatics etc.

Initially the accent was a little bit hard to understand, but after few minutes everything become crystal clear. Extremely useful course content.

Unfortunately the forums go inactive after the first few iterations of the course. One can still learn by doing the programming assignments

Course Content is good. Instructors are not that much active to give answers for the raised questions compared to earlier courses.

Порой не понятно что конкретно надо описать, либо мой уровень программирования не так хорош, чтобы понимать и воспринимать это!

An awesome course, though a bit more rushed than the other ones. Luckily with the notes, the assignments can be passed.

I think it would be more helpful to trade BWT to more practical Polynomial Hashing tricks. Otherwise good course

The programming assignment should be more clean with detailed instruction in each code file.

week 3 is not understood correctly.

but i read in other source

so i understood perfectly

Very good, although the material in last week is way harder and rushed than the rest.

I have finished the specialization. This course is mostly useful though challenging.

Some tasks was hard to understand and solve, but it in general it was good.

It was good. But its assignment is easy compared to before lecture things.

very good and useful , but the last week algorithm is very complicated

Some of the algorithms are too hard to implement but worth the effort.

too complex, and I don't think in the future work I will apply these.

This was a good course. I mostly understood most of the content

algorithms are difficult. lectures are good

Very focused on bioinformatics problems.

The lectures are a little bit confused

The explanation is very clear

necessary experience
