A comment on Coursera shuts access to old platform courses.

I always wanted to work through the algorithms MOOCs from Princeton but I kept putting it off. Profs Sedgewick and Wayne are phenomenal teachers. Anyone know if this course will be available in the future?

(probably not, since they had no certificates etc, and I don't see them going along with paid-for-quizzes courses, but it doesn't hurt to ask)

I'm in the same boat. Found https://github.com/coursera-dl/coursera-dl and was able to download part 1 and 2.

What course names did you use? I could not find the ones from Prof. Sedgewick, only the one from Prof. Roughgarden

Well... I guess it's too late... they probably noticed already because I can't download any more courses :(

you have to enroll in them and accept their honor rolls first. Does that work?

Not really. I was already enrolled and it didn't work, so not sure what happened.

new folks: use https://drive.google.com/a/hugomelo.com/folderview?id=0B_H50... and https://drive.google.com/a/hugomelo.com/folderview?id=0B_H50... so it doesn't ask me for permissions, did not anticipate how many folks would ask :)

Google Drive says you need to grant access to download this. Clicked on the 'ask owner for permission' button. Hope you grant it.

Thanks!

They are currently on the old platform. Officially the old platform shuts down on June 30th.

Maybe they will be moved to the new platform. A lot of courses on the old platform have moved to the new platform over the past year.

They are available, I have doubts about OP's post.
