Great into to Java, instructors have clearly put thought in to the format with the choose your own learning style videos, and additional coverage where it may be needed. These have been very helpful.
Fantastic course! I would recommend to anyone interested in learning the graph data structure in a fun and hands-on and engaging way! Definitely one of the best courses I have followed on Coursera.

•Really hated "Just guess the closest of the multiple choice if your answers don't match. It's not always exact." as quiz instructions. That was just horrible. Figure out some better way of grading it.
The rest of the course was lovely, challenging and fun. I especially enjoyed the NP section.
par Peter S
•Course was well paced. Assignments were relevant. Only shortcoming I believe was that the last two weeks of the course did not require any submission of a coding assignment. Only required a quiz.
I feel that the course would benefit from a requirement to submit some code each week.
par Roy G C
•Beautiful course. I only disliked not being explained anything regarding the GUI used and how everything was created. But in terms of algorithms and advanced data structures, it was lovely. I highly enjoyed learning about graphs, traversing algorithms, complexity theory and the like.
par Zoran H
•I give really high marks for this course as the graphs are presented in a proper and practical manner. I have a suggestion to present the High Level of Graphs more in the area of Information theory. Otherwise it is nice approach and very good implementation of the material and exams.

•A great course as the previous courses for the specialization. I know that the week 4's materials are out of this specialization's scope but I think it's alright to delve in more about P and NP problems. That material is somehow still incomprehensible for me.
par Jeffrey L
•Very interesting programming assignment for the BFS, Dijkstra and A* methods. Great job with that.
The coverage of the TSP was weak -- room for improvement there. Perhaps include a programming assignment.
Overall, the course was a worthwhile investment of time.
par Marie B
•The course content and presentation was excellent. I love the large-project format of the classes in this specialization. I only wish this course had more resources for working offline, at a level that matches the previous courses in the specialization.
par Makoto I
•Overall, I enjoyed this course. Especially from week 1 to 3 where the course contents were simply amazing.
It would be great if week 4 and 5 can engage the students like week 1 to 3, and the forum can be more alive.
Thank you.
par Kerstin K
•Finally no repetitions any more, and some better assignments. These could still use some work, because I generally find them way too easy. Best course in this specialization so far.
par Lauren H
•This course was excellent! I learned so much and I am now able to understand the significance of knowing how Algorithms and Data Structures are related in a practical way. I
par Thirumal V
•At first the course is hands on, later on it becomes more of theory. This would have been a challenging course if we had more harder graph problems to solve though.
par B V S C
•It was a very good course and I learned a lot about graphs. But the student who takes this course needs strong programming skills in Java and week 4 is tough
par Vasanth B
•I like this course. It helps me to break my fear of using complex data structure. It changed my approach to complex problems. Thanks to the Instructors :)
par Michael H
•This is a really useful course. The project is quite relevant, and the work with breadth first search, Dijkstra, and A* Search are really interesting!
par Krishna A
•The last week extension was great, but I was a bit disappointed when the assessment was only to review what they did rather than submitting the code.
par Lesly A
•This is an awesome course with great stuff for learning and practical graphs concept in programming with some useful algorithms like A*.
par Nay M L
•It was very interesting to learn in-depth graph data structure in Java. Access to the interactive JavaFX application is a bonus.
par Muhammet K G
•Last weeks should had have a programming assignment, too. When the assignment is optiomal, it becomes a really hard work to do.
par Timi
•It's a great course for getting started with Graphs but for an "advanced data structures" course, this is as basic as can be.
par jiangyuru
•peer-view maybe cause the lateness of my certificate and maybe i should pay more money even if i have finished the course.
par Marcin C
•The contents were pretty basic for me, but they were presented clearly. All in all I liked the review this course gave me.
par Mu X
•I think it would be better if the lectures can go a little bit deeper on the topics in this course.
par Rohan P
•A few more graph algorithms and their implementations, if added to the course, would be nice.
par Thiago C F
•Great instructors, videos and activities. The projects are really enjoyable to enroll.
par Fan Y
•The projects are fun, but the course is too short and abbreviated.
