Its a class for undergrads. Nothing can ever be explored in its full depth. If people want to spend an entire semester on a single problem they should take a grad course.

Undergrads deserve rigor too.

The course description is especially ironic as it claims rigor.

> This course will provide a rigorous and hands-on introduction to the central ideas and algorithms that constitute the core of the modern algorithms toolkit.

The result, of course, will be a bunch of undergrads with a very hazy recollection, and zero real knowledge.
