I would rate it very high because of the kind of assignments given and kind of questions asked is very very good. I would refer my friends for this kind of professional things.

Since I am relatively new to computer science, this course is a little bit hard.

But, overall it's ok and the course also mentioned the similar material is taken by sophomores, juniors and seniors.

like the assignments, but I feel that the detail needed to answer the math questions were a distraction

Good but some videos on how the algorithms work and the proofs could have been much easier and clearer

Quicksort could be better. The comparison counting is not a good assignment I feel.
