Excellent course, especially for a person without a computer science tertiary education. Having finished the course and the specialisation I can say that it is definitely worth all the blood sweat and tears required to make it through the content.

Very challenging, but it just shows that you should never give up and keep believing in yourself! Thanks Prof. Tim for this excellent course. I do feel smarter than when I started, and had fun too (most of the time)!

It took me a while to get through all four of these courses, but definitely worth the effort! Really stretched my brain, and I feel like I could have gotten even more had I spent more time on the theoretical bits.

A great course with great assignments. Assignments really test your implementation skills as well as research skills. One should really use forums to ask doubts and give answers to solve these assignments.

This challenging course improves understanding of algorithms and is intellectually stimulating. I learnt the theory behind algorithms and how they are applied to solve real world problems.

The examinations are sometimes very challenging, but at least you learn a lot of things !

Completing this course will definitely make you improve a lot your skills in programming.

This is the most challenging course in this specialization. Assignments as well as test questions require good amount of thinking.

One of the best courses I did on Coursera.

Really great and challenging course. Gives a strong foundation in np-complete problems and the approximate methods for making progress on these challenging problems.

Thanks a lot. It is time consuming, need a lot of thinking and practising to finish the homework. And it is worth taking. After this, we can go deep into cs.

The test cases posted in the discussion forums were invaluable and saved me time to complete the programming assignments. Thank you for the great course!

Great course, great explanation from instructor. I loved how Tim Roughgarden explains algorithms. Course Load was just right for me. Great experience!

I love Tim's excitement for algorithms. He really stands out as a quality teacher in his selection of content, explanations and enthusiasm.

learn a lot about algorithmic complexity class and lot's of such a beautiful algorithm. Thank you sir for sharing your knowledge with us.

Excellent course! The lectures provide clear and rigorous explanations, and the coding exercises are appropriately challenging.

Challenging, but does a great job of presenting some important concepts at a high-level and showing where to continue learning.

Fantastic course by a fantastic Teacher, Prof. Roughgarden manages to turn the dry subject of Algorithms into a hot sexy one!!

Wonderful lectures and programming exercises. Professor Roughgarden explains difficult concepts in the simplest way possible.

A really well-crafted specialization. Has something for everyone from a beginner to an advanced Computer Science student.

Nice course, a lot of information in short time. I think is need more time than 4 weeks to finish this course.

unlike previous 3 courses

some of course 4's quiz problems are really difficult and not sure how to approach...

Thanks very much for providing this excellent course! It was tough to complete but worth challenging.

Great course in general, got the chance to dive a little deeper into the world of computer science.

Excellent course! Bravo to the teacher for the commitment provided in this course. Kind regards.

Great Pace - good examples - always going to the point - clear and providing good information.

Really happy to finish this specialization and I will still study algorithms in the future.
