50 -> ~10 students standing was my experience with laci's algorithms class. He's still an excellent instructor, though. Willingness to do hours of background and follow-up reading outside of class was a requirement if you wanted to get a deep understanding of the material, and it pays off well. (He was very approachable though, not at all the research professor stereotype.) (HatLab, what a small world... :)
