This course might promise a comprehensive introduction, but it falls short in execution. The theoretical insights often feel disconnected from the practical coding exercises, leaving concepts feeling abstract and confusing. The pace is overly fast, assuming prior knowledge that not all students have. Additionally, the assignments lack clarity, making it frustrating to grasp the essential algorithms. Instead of enhancing my skills, I often felt lost and overwhelmed, undermining my confidence in tackling complex problems.
