Thank you for teaching me this course. I learned a lot of new things, including Divide-and-Conquer, MergeSort, QuickSort, and Randomization Algorithms, along with proof for their asymptotic runtime

Can you do better in those technical interviews?
Yes! if you take this course.
I recommend buying the book.

Really helpful as a start of algorithm learning. And it is good to require only one kind of language.

Great class, learned a lot.
On the other hand, I feel a formal reading material will help as well.
