Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs):
At the end of the course the students will be able to: Domain BT Level*
1. Explain what is meant by “best”, “expected”, and “worst”
case behavior of an algorithm
2. Identify the characteristics of data and/or other conditions
or assumptions that lead to different behaviors.
3. Determine informally the time and space complexity of
simple algorithms
4. List and contrast standard complexity classes
5. Use big O, Omega, Theta notation formally to give asymptotic
upper bounds on time and space complexity of
algorithms
6. Use of the strategies(brute-force, greedy, divide-and- conquer, and
dynamic programming) to solve an
appropriate problem
7. Solve problems using graph algorithms, including single- source
and all-pairs shortest paths, and at least one
minimum spanning tree algorithm
