Great course. People who have knowledge of C but are new to OO programming should definitely take this course. It would not hurt to include more exercises in the course.

It is an awesome course to move to c++ from C .Includes all the essential elements needed in C programming.i.e the best course available to learn C++.

I really like the professor and his style, he is clearly knowledgeable in this field BUT:
- lectures slides often show code over multuple slides, not properly formated, no coloring. It's very hard to follow
- I learned much more about graph theory then about C++ in the course and especially HW3 is just a farce, it takes so much time and was not covered well in the class
- why not provide code examples or more worked-out code snippets as downloads to start from and/or have as a reference

i must admit that i thought i would gain some more basic knowledge on c++
some namespace discussions , oop , special pointers etc.
the exercises were hard but... no real grasp of the c++ advantages.
i don't think i'll enroll to part B at this moment but im sure am encouraged to keep on learning this language also because of this course, and that's the reason for the third star i gave.

I thought at first according to the title of this course, that it should be an intro for c programmers. But it is more like a brush-up for already c++ programmers. Be ready to take some other course or reading parallel. Otherwise the homeworks are absolutely interesting and suitable for new-comer. It would be better if more videos with more details could be made.

The course was ok. I don't feel it was a C++ course but more a graph theory course. The material was a little bit disorganized, there are topics that could be addressed in just one video, but the teacher talks about the same things over and over again.

Too much focus on implementing Graph algorithms and too little about actually learning C++. The homework assignments time allocation (2 * 2 hours) is by far not enough to be able to complete the assignments.

In starting the course it's explaining two algorithms and its very difficult for to understand and complete the assignment.
overall the course is amazing.

It's a bit slow and some parts seem to be out of order based on homework assignments. But I did learn a lot of C++ stuff.

Week 2 assignment is surprisingly difficult to solve and it is too complex to solve compared with the rest of the course.

please start from basic basic things.we have to do study in deep.Time required complete assignment is more.

The course presents the topics in a non-linear manner. It should be called "Learning graphs with C++"

sir,is very experienced person in this field but also too old to teach such complecated lesson.

It was very good for as a beginner but this will be better if it is practical in the software

The course has enough materials but the assignments are too lengthy and not well formulated.

the course could've been more interesting if uncommon things weren't select to be taught

Take this course only if you have a very good understanding of c and data structures
