I've never been more engaged in a MOOC!!

Good teachers. They go gradually from very easy to challenging concepts. Also a good intro to the main optimization problems.

This course was amazing! Far more interesting, entertaining, and educational than I was expecting to find. There's a trailer for this course, which indicates how well-produced it is and how much effort has been put in to make this more than just dry lecture material. The course-creators have done an amazing job with this one; if you are a beginner with any interest in optimization or constraint programming then this is the course for you.

Ótimo curso para introdução a otimização discreta, tive dificuldades nas tarefas, mas boa parte devido a minha falta de atenção. Diferente de outros corretores, o Feedback do MinZinc funcionou muita bem!

Great course, provided a nice introduction to discrete modelling

This course is very well done. The story gives a fun context to the exercices. The exercices allows one to really start to understand how important modeling is and how to do it, they are so well calibrated that I wonder if they were generated by a solver :-)

Wonderful. It changes the way of solving problems.

Fantastic course -- highly recommended!

"Basic Modeling for Discrete Optimiation" is an excellent course for anyone interested in optimization models, improving their problem-solving skills and have a nice challenge.

The explanations and examples are fantastic and all these complemented with the utilization of MiniZinc, which make the course so much natural in comparison to other optimization tools.

Highly Recommended 5/5.

Challenging, but easy enough to be fair.

Amazing course, amazing material and amazing lessons. For everyone interested in Discrete Optimization MiniZinc is a must know technology and this course does an amazing introduction with lots of different applications.

Excellent course. The high level modeling language that is presented is very powerful and relatively simple to use. Maybe a couple of more lecture specifically dedicated to the modeling languange itself would allow easier kick-in to the course.

Different teaching way and really interesting course

Enjoyable and challenging. Great professors and TAs. Excellent introduction to modeling and declarative programming. If you want to learn programming with constraints definitely I recommend this course.

Really interesting course with challenging assignment!

Terrific course

It's a great course! Professors explain the content in a easy way!

It's a fun course and can be applied on many optimization problems in the real world.

excellent course!

Interesting & fun

A very good course. Thank you to the teachers and Staff in general.

Really engaging. Also challenging assignments for weeks 3 and 4

Nothing but great!

Great course to learn modeling discrete optimization problems. Excellent pedagogy and amusing problems to model using MiniZinc.
