Algorithms on Strings

Great Course.

Great Course Really Enjoyed it :) very good and useful , but the last week algorithm is very complicated The programming assignment should be more clean with detailed instruction in each code file.

Its a very good course overall.

Very good course on efficient algorithms for processing long sequences.

I have not watched all the videos, but checked it only when I am stuck at the programming assignment and the slides are not enough to understand.

Maybe it would been better to start with simple string matching and basic data structures and only then progress to the genom processing part.Fortunately the programming assignment cleared a great deal of the confusion.

Some tasks was hard to understand and solve, but it in general it was good.

I appreciate all the effort the instructors put to create the course materials.Few things to improve:1) Some of videos in week3 and 4 were hard to understand due to English speaking skills.

The concepts in the first two weeks are poorly taught.

Overall, I shall give the course 5 stars, however, I am not very satisfied with the first two weeks.

Excelentes algoritmos, nunca había pensado lo complicado que era hacer pattern matching eficientemente en términos de tiempo de procesamiento y memoria.

This course in particular has made me very interested in pattern matching algorithms.

challenging and rewarding programming assignments.

One can still learn by doing the programming assignments Great content!

The instruction was poor, specially those by Michael Levin.

Thankfully, as with the graphs course, Michael Levin wades in to save the day for the last couple of weeks.

My advice to people taking these courses, be prepared to put time and really think about what you're doing.

Here is some pseudocode", with no "think about a problem that can be solved with the same ideas", like the other courses in the specialization (which are, in my opinion, much better).-We saw 4 algorithms for string matching (KMP, Rabin-Karp, suffix array matching, Burrow-Wheeler's transform), but virtually no discussion on when to use each one, strengths and weaknesses, and so on.

The lectures are a little bit confused this course is awesome!

Very Good Very good, although the material in last week is way harder and rushed than the rest.

I think last week was too complex and not that exciting.

I took all the other courses in this specialization (up to this one).

This course is not precisely bad, but it's very lacking compared to the other courses in the specialization.
