Our Verdict
This course, Practical Data Structures & Algorithms in Java + HW, is a valuable resource for those preparing for coding interviews and eager to understand popular data structures and algorithms. The strengths lie in the instructor's clear explanations of core concepts and the availability of homework assignments with solutions that provide hands-on practice translating pseudocode. However, watch out for gaps in the curriculum, occasional help from other resources for more comprehensive learning, and some minor assistance issues. Be prepared to learn about hash tables using separate chaining, as the lecture assumes you have watched it but does not exist within the course. Overall, approach this course with enthusiasm for diving into Java-based data structures and algorithms.
What We Liked
- Comprehensive coverage of data structures & algorithms using Java, great for coding interviews
