very educational. I've learnt not only about graph theory but also how to use matplotlib and timeit libraries. The assignments were quite challengeable but rewarding.

The class is very useful, I already see the improvement in the codes that I write. And the assignments are very well-designed and truly helpful.

Pros:
Lots of good material to learn. Challenging. Lectures are easy to understand.
Cons:
More dense, textbook-jargon "CS major" feel to this class than the others. Expect to spend more hours and have less fun vs. parts 1-4. Much easier to get discouraged. Major problems waiting for assignments to go through peer grading process, sometimes taking *weeks*.
Suggestions:
More basic handouts such as: 1) Set notation cheat sheet. 2) Pseudocode examples fully decoded into simple language. Also, watching a visualization of the base-pairing algorithm (Needleman-Wunsch) is highly recommended for understanding what you're trying to do. You can google it, but it would be nice if they added it to the course. Also, more smiling.
In summary, it's a challenging course and I'm a better programmer for having finished it. However, it's more daunting, took me longer, and lacks the easy going/encouraging/illustrative style of the earlier courses. Peer grading takes way too long, especially if you're paying for a subscription.

Not quite the same level of energy presents in IIPP and Computing Principles. Also did not like the peer review projects, too messy.

coursea does not allow me to quit the class. Also, I cannot do the homework or watch video at my own pace.
