An NC State University distance-education data structures course, taught as a full university class with videotaped lectures, projects, and proctored exams. It is offered as part of NC State's online bachelor's-level CS coursework.

Commenters single out the instruction as excellent and note that the online sections run like in-person classes, with no transcript notation that they were taken online.

    Is it NC State? I found the instruction there excellent--at least for theory classes like Automata, Decision And Complexity Theory as well as Data Structures. They offer a real distance education that is run just like an in-person class, with videotaped lectures, projects, and proctored exams. They are one the few universities that offer the full repertoire of bachelor CS classes online, a little known secret. Even though their distance education isn't well marketed, you could complete in theory a BS computer science remotely just through NC State--something that you can't quite yet do with MITx or Udacity--and in addition, their online CS classes do not have an asterisk on your transcript indicating they were taken online, since you are often lumped into a section with the in-person class.
