I came into Algorithms with very limited computer science background and it ended up ok! Tyler is very nice and chill and a clear lecturer. His office hours were a great help for the exams and weekly homeworks. There were 8 homework assignments (lowest dropped) and 2 midterms and 1 final. There were also 2 grading schemes such that one midterm may be dropped. The average exam scores for the midterms were around B- and the final about A-. I highly recommend doing the study guides that Tyler posts before each exam. He also records all of his lectures so you can rewatch them. Overall I'd recommend this class but be prepared for potentially difficult exams.
