On the origins of the course.

The overall course philosophy comes most directly from Josh Hug, John DeNero, and Dan Garcia. The majority of the assignments, lecture schedule, lecture content, exam emphases, and policies of this course inherit from Josh Hug’s Spring 2019 Data Structures course offered at UC Berkeley which, in turn, was influenced by COS 226 offered at Princeton. Our textbook is Algorithms, 4th edition by Robert Sedgewick and Kevin Wayne.

This philosophy shares some similarities with recent offerings of CSE 373 from Winter 2018 onward, first offered by Michael Lee and Adam Blank. More recently, the course has undergone major changes thanks to recent instructors including Kasey Champion, Robbie Weber, and Shrirang Mare. These instructors directly cite several other instructors as references, including but not limited to Ben Jones, Evan McCarty, Whitaker Brand, Stuart Reges, Zorah Fung, and Justin Hsia.

The theme for the course website is based on Just the Class.
