Workload: about 12 to 15 hours a week, more during the tree unit. What went well: the course builds steadily. Once linked lists and recursion made sense, trees felt like a natural next step, and graphs built on both. What was hard: the coding assignments have a lot of edge cases, and it's easy to underestimate them. I…
