Amazing professor with great lectures. Large portions of lectures dedicated to answering questions and solving examples. Gave tons of supplementary materials to set you up for success. Algos is infamously hard and there's no getting away from that, but Jeremy is your best bet for succeeding in this course. P.S. Generous curve as well!Rate My Professors ↗

Algos is HARD. I slacked off the at first and only watched lecture videos, never went to office hours. After the midterm I had an F in the class. So, I got serious: attended everything I could, stayed caught up. By Jeremy's new, wonderful way of making the course interesting and his great help, I earned a BC! He's changing UW's algos for the betterRate My Professors ↗
