I like the fact that we get to solve many problems on our own every week but in all the lectures, instructors explain things only vocally and it's also very fast paced. It was really difficult to follow compared with lectures where instructors write on the white board while they are explaining.

The professors are good, but more instructions and guidance is needed, programming by itself is not easy, then, combining it with algorithms make things even harder. Some lectures were more understandable than others, overall the content is good but the structure of the course could be better.

I had already done "Algorithms: Design and Analysis Part 1", so this course was not as good as that one.

This course had lot of programming questions, which I find very good to have for any course. I just hope next courses of the specialization will be beneficial for my career.

From a beginner's point of view , course explanation on concepts are good, but their explanation on programming is very confusing and not clear .This is a good course to understand the concepts on a beginner level , but doesn't give you a clear idea on a deeper level.

there is no reply after i asked a question in the forum.

the instructors in the videos could have made the explanation a bit simpler and more graphical representation for the algorithm could have been used. it would really help lot of people understand better e.g- me

Well done course with great professors. My only major complaint is in the way grading is done. I learn best by trial and error and having no feedback beyond "wrong answer" is terribly frustrating when trying to understand where my knowledge is lacking in my code.

This is a good course and I really want to thank the instructors for taking the time to create this wonderful course. However as a beginner, I want the week 5 ( Dynamic Programming ) really tough to follow and wish if there could be more resources for Week 5.

This course is old and infomation are super confusing, they provide the starter code with the answers alreaady in it. Clearly this is not updated so I dont want to waste my time on this when I have very limited time to upskill my skills with full time work.

a lot of stuff was vague, the videos not enough but the assignment is good and the grading system is average since it leaves you in the middle in the desert and does not tell you where your code breaks like input and expected output to debug with

It's a really good course, and I really appreciate the effort of every single teacher. I really liked, just think they should really explain some algorithms in a more pedagogical way. I struggled with many algorithms, to really understand them.

This course covers important aspects of techniques used to solve popular problems. But it misses to cover introductory points in some modules (i.e: dynamic programming module) as well as the accent of some instructors isn't clear enough.

Dynamic Programming modules were not explained with clarity. I understood the DP Tables for some of the questions only after looking at external sources. However, the rest of the topics were fairly well explained.

Matière intéressante mais trop peu détaillée. Énorme manque d'informations et de notions nécessaire pour la réalisation des exercice. Explications parfois confuses, voire déroutantes. Beaucoup de frustration....

in general, the course is good, especially the assignments which were very good but the materials like videos and slides aren't good enough, i think that there is some important details are missing

very detailed and highly efficient course to learning algorithms but some more focus should be given to solve assignment problems...as they were very tough for a average guy like me...thank you

I did gain valuable learning. Some feedback is that it can be hard to find material and some material is labeled wrong. For instance there is no week 6 labeled in the problem statement pdf.

Nick Rhodes' video sections are terrible: He stumbles, mumbles, and mis-speaks (words don't match slides). It would be fine for a live lecture, but for something pre-recorded, it's awful.

It was a good course...But the gene problem was left to be solved and on top of all please take instructors so can speak british english,It was quite difficult to understand their accent.

1 professor just did not make sense to me. do not just read out the pseudo code but instead try to visually show whats happening step by step with arrows and calculations from scratch

The course starts well but then falls especially in the dynamic programming part. The explanation should be at least comprehensible for those with an average level in mathematics.

There should be more illustrations and a more comprehensive introduction to every topic.

Discussion of a topic formally before introduction to the problems would be better.

The materials covered are not enough to fully explore the topics. Should include much more detailed explanations especially when explaining some of the complex algorithms.

The content of this course is good. The explanation in the lectures could have been better. But overall the course helped me learn some good algorithms. Thanks.

Есть множество недочётов как в субтитрах, так и в самих слайдах. Кто-то употребляет Тета, кто-то О большое, субтитры ужасны, местами перевод совершенно не тот.

it was very difficult and sometimes very frustrating to understand some of the lecturer because of their very thick accent. other than that it was good.
