There is an absolutely wild range in data structures courses. A lot of colleges merge data structures and algorithms and some do each separately. I went to one with them separate and we focused on the application because we had time to. I can't imagine that we could have actually covered complexity if we were doing both in one semester.
- pests 3y agoIn my undergrad at University of Michigan it was combined. I do not remember if we covered it but I was already exposed to industry at that time and was far more advanced in the practical than the rest of the class. The benefits of algorithm selection only really started to become apparent after years of experience and know-how in what _exactly_ an application requires or intends to be used as. Knowledge that is skipped at all levels of computer science education.
