Hey, everyone. I'm a software engg. from India, and I host study groups where we study online courses together. I'll be starting the groups within a few days. We will study Algorithms course (Stanford Uni.) on Coursera. Format: Each week, members go through the course material. We will conduct the group on Discord. We discuss the course materials, solve the weekly quizzes, and have a real peer-review session of our assignments. On weekends, I'll host video call to provide assignment walkthroughs The group will last for 4 weeks. Target Audience: No Prerequisites This is a beginner-centric course Non-cs/it folks are encouraged to join!
