I took a similar course at the National University of Singapore called 'Competitive Programming'[1] taught by Dr Steven Halim. It probably has to be one of the most fun courses I took at uni. I didn't really learn much theory since most of the content is already covered in a standard algos course, which was one of the pre-req. But I think my programming and problem solving skills went up a notch. Our assignments were basically on solving problems from the UVA Online Judge[2]. We had two competitions for the mid-terms and finals. Each had an individual component and a team component that run on a custom grading server.
