What are some of the best university CS or engineering courses offered openly, with assignments, in this way that aren’t from MIT or Stanford?
Princeton used to offer algorithm courses on Coursera with full assignments including auto grading, I don't know if that's still the case.
I don't know enough about (or have time to learn) other offerings, but I am sure there are a few more out there. Class central should be a good place to discover those courses.
I don’t view class central as being useful, could really use much more detailed filtering of results.
