UCR CS218: Design and analysis of algorithms

Back to FAQ Home


This is a very, very long document. The questions are collected (although not explicitly) from previous offerings. It is a very large class, and it is offered almost every year, so I have been answering these questions again and again. I feel like it is necessary to provide a "standard" answer for everyone, so it's more fair. Before the class, I would recommend you to read at least the first part, "preparing," to make sure you understand the goal (especially understand whether this course is what you want to take) and have a reasonable expectation of this course. You can also quickly read all the questions, and read the answers for those that you are interested in.

When you later have questions related to assignments, grades, academic integrity, deadlines, etc, you can first search here to find if it has been answered. If not, and if your questions are also representative, they may also be added here.
