Couldn't recommend Jeff Erickson's lecture notes more for algorithms, DP, and the like. I too did rather poorly in the class so you're not alone! In a similar vein, Lawrence Angrave, a systems programming lecturer, has a wonderful crowd-sourced "book" [1] on all things systems programming. It is my go to resource for brushing up on these topics. Lastly, David Forsyth, a statistics/applied ML lecturer has a gold mine of a book for diving into ML and difficult concepts that come with it [2].

Sometimes I’m wondering why U of I doesn’t have a bigger presence in the online learning world, other than net math. The material is great.
Illinois is going bankrupt to the degree that it’s affecting the U of I. They do, however, have both an iMBA and a masters in CS through coursera.
