Getting Started with Competitive Programming : Update on Assignments 10,11 & 12

Dear all:

My apologies for the delay in the release of the final assignments. The last three weeks of this course have a common theme, namely dynamic programming. Three MCQ assignments for the last three weeks are being released together along with two programming assignments. 

The MCQ assignments are much shorter than usual because of the delay in releasing them. We have added more problems in the practice section, which you can use for practice, but they will not be graded, so you can do them any time.

In the upcoming live session, we will discuss some hints for the two programming assignments.

The week 10 videos should be enough to tackle the assignments. Some videos have not been released because of technical issues but should be available on the platform by 12th April.

Thanks very much for your patience!

Warm regards,
Neeldhara

Welcome to Getting Started with Competitive Programming Course

Dear Learners,

Welcome to the course on Getting Started with Competitive Programming! It's wonderful to have you on board. The course officially begins on the 24th but please feel free to explore the course materials earlier.

In this email you will find some key links to resources related to the course and a survey, so we request you to bookmark these for reference. 

As you might know, we have setup a Discord forum where you can meet the instructors and TAs and interact with them in real time:


Discord is a little like WhatsApp but better! If you don't already use it you can just login from the web, or install the app, based on your preference. You can also continue to use the google groups mailing lists, but if you want to have more of a conversation, then we will see you on Discord :) If you have already joined us, that's great, and if not - there are 2900 learners and counting. Once you join in, please head over to the #introductions channel and introduce yourself, and feel free to look around and explore. You can use the #ask-me-anything channel to post any questions you have. 

The first week's videos are up on Itempool, where you can watch them along with interactive questions: 


You can also find course extras on the course website:


We will be posting optional materials like the following on this website:

- links to extra practice problems 
- links to specific prerequisites per week (posted one week in advance)
- detailed solutions of weekly assignments

Whatever you have access to from the SWAYAM portal is enough to complete the assignments and exams, but you might find the materials above useful as well :) 

Finally, as an important step in getting to know you better, we request you to fill out this survey:


We are conducting a research study on factors that influence performance on Competitive Programming tasks. For this study, we would like to collect ANONYMISED data from the learners of this course. In this form, we request your permission to use your data (anonymously) for this study, and we will really appreciate it if you could share your consent for participation in this study by filling out the form. Thanks! 

I look forward to meeting you and hope that you enjoy the course as much as the team has enjoyed putting it together!


Best wishes,
Neeldhara
