Incredible learning experience. Every programmer in industry should take this course if only to dispel the idea that with the advent of cloud computing exponential algorithms can still ruin your day!

Extremely well designed course. The assignments touch all the concepts taught in the class. Lot of concepts get clarified when you try to reach 100% on each assignment. Highly recommend this course.

Great course overall, comparable to (and possibly better than) quite a few University courses out there. The assignments are really well-made.

Being a student of Sedgewick is wonderful. Learning Red-Black Trees from one the its creators is unbelievable. Lectures great, homeworks best.

Requires a lot of work, but worth it. Watch out for small bugs - one Java-specific error had me 4% from finishing the course for 15 hours! :D

Excellent course - would be even better if Coursera ported the exercises to the new platform so 3 stars for Coursera but 5 for the course!

Excellent course! Amazing assignments!
This is the first time I really understand union-find, priority-queue, red-black-tree. very useful!

great course with clear elaboration, demo and autograder. but I have to say the assignment is more java-oriented than algorithm-oriented.

Great course. As for me it is ideal. I dont have a CS degree, but works as java developer. The course shows me the beauty of algorithms!

The lecturer explains everything very slowly and clearly - I recommend 1.75x speed for a brisker pace. The assignments are really fun!
