Great specialization, as close to a real university course series as possible in this online setting.

Very difficult and maybe irrelevent

Labs were perhaps the only helpful part of the course.

The concepts taught in this course are very challenging. The programming assignments will similarly require a lot of thought to solve, particularly the last few Programming Assignments. It is a fitting end to the specialization and leaves room for further exploration in Security and Quantum Computing.

Amazing teaching, well made tasks and assessments. However, some computing task takes quite a while, a lot of code to familiarize with before you can solve the problems.

Very hard but very good information!

Highly recommended course!

This course was truly insightful and well-structured. It provided a great blend of advanced data structures and cryptography concepts, especially RSA, along with an introductory view into quantum algorithms. The explanations were clear, and the examples helped in understanding even the complex topics like GCD, Bezout’s Identity, and RSA's mathematical foundation. The part on quantum computing sparked a lot of curiosity—it’s complex but exciting! Definitely recommended for anyone interested in both classical and modern algorithmic techniques.

There's really no point in taking any of these CU Boulder courses if the program it gets you into is going to treat you like a second class student.
