Algorithms was an amazing class, amazingly well taught. At first I thought it was silly, the way a lot of the lecturers discuss algorithms is as if they are somehow within it themselves. The lectures, exercises and quizzes combined had a way of gifting us the knowledge of an array of algorithms I mostly knew only vaguely about until now. The lectures were surprisingly well done, teaching the concepts in a way that can really be understood and walked away with. I heard at first strange seeming analogy verbiage such as "I like it" used as an analogy to a conditional being satisfied during an algorithm's steps, and silly as it seems, it is a really great way to understand the steps behind the algorithm. Take the quick sort lecture as an example, I think that is the one I am thinking of. Just think "I like it" if the conditional is satisfied, whichever one is greater than the other and it is a really good mental pneumonic, it just gets your brain flowing past whet
