This is how algorithms should be taught.

4 star only for Alexander Kulikov who was really great in his lectures. Though I gave 5 stars on the previous 4 courses of this specialization, I couldn't do this for this course. For me, to follow the first 2 weeks was a nightmare. During the whole specialization, I would like to thank Alexander Kulikov and Michael Levin. Other instructors' teaching style was not comfortable for me.

The first two weeks have unclear lectures and pseudocode. The simplex task was the most complex in this specialization. The 3rd and 4th weeks have interesting and good lectures.

I started this a couple of days ago and have been doing it hard as part of my specialization. I have only one quiz left and on November 23, a deadline suddenly came, despite the fact that I devoted a lot of time to the course and in fact completed it in two days. I have completely closed all 6 courses for specialization except for one quiz of 6 questions in week 4. Now someone has decided that the next set is only in half a year, seriously? All I need is to go through an automatic check of 6 questions without human control and get my cherished certificate. But it turns out that I wasted money? What is worth extending the course? I cannot wait that long and pay extra money. Could the moderators somehow influence this by informing people who can help?

poor course. never give any algorithm. No clue where the problem come from. The forum is only help a few people. No general ideas how to solve the problem. waist a lot of time debugging but still couldn't pass the assignment.

total waste my time and garbage course.

Very hard to follow the lectures, completly lost without Reference books such as Introduction to Algorithms.

When they say advanced algorithms and complexity, they mean it. I was initially under the presumption that it would be a straight forward video course, without any assignments. But when I had to start with programming assignments that's when the real test started. Amazing set of tutorials. Would have liked if the courses had more varied examples.

This is a tough course compared to the previous courses in this specialization. The cover of NP-complete problems using two weeks time is especially valuable. The course team has also done a fantastic job in designing the programming assignments.

I very enjoyed this course! Theoretic informatics - is my favorite field of study. All the professors are the best. Dreaming to enroll in your Ph.D. program. Thank you very much

It's was great to learn advanced algorithms and complexity. Besides, I learn new topics that can help me further learning. All the problems and the lectures were very good.

This course is very difficult. Possible to pass programming assignments only after finishing previous courses.

It's my pleasure to learn the course from the top instructors and this course will be helpful for my future

Thoroughly explained and well designed course! Excellent Course to learn different algorithms.

Great course, quite difficult, requires a lot of research on your own to pass the assignments.

Very good collection of advanced topics, even useful for the 6th course in the specialization!

I am not good in this course. But I'm always try the best! Awesome course, thank you so much!

It has been a great experience learning with coursera !!!

Mil Gracias maestro Alexander, Mil Gracias Coursera.

It was very very hard course but worth it in the end

Amazing lectures. Learned a lot. Thank you so much.

Most Difficult Course but It develops mankind Power

Great course! Thanks to our respected instructors.

Need more test cases for assignments.

this course gave me hell of a time

Very difficult but challenging!
