A very good course for its length and the amount of time it requires. It improved my python skills and knowledge of Genomics. I'm more engaged in my pursuits than before taking the course.

It was easy in the beginning but gets hard and changing at the end.
It was such an honor th have a course with Professor Salzburg.
I would recommend it to all bioinformatics lovers.

I took this course without a background in biology or genetics. The material sounds interesting but the lecturers rush through it so fast. They do not provide sufficient explanation of the biology to allow completion of the programming assignment. They ask to write a code for finding ORFs yet they don't even explain how ORFs are defined in case of multiple start codons and end codons.

The course in no way prepares the student to complete the final exam of the course, if this course is for people without any prior python experience, I really pity the ones that had to go through it.
I myself had some experience but it was challenging for me to do the final quiz, but it was fun.
The course is overall good but needs some updates from the tutors.

The lectures were really good, and from having taken the Python For Everbody course I could keep up with what they were saying as they only taught the basics.
How ever, the exams were extremely difficult as they had not shown us how to write the code nessassary for the analysis!!!!! A lot of online help is needed to pass this course believe me.

Quite badly prepared course. The final exam assignment was challenging but unfortunately the methods etc to arrive at the solutions were not discussed in the main lecture of the course. It needs lot of working so that the focus should be given on learning rather than arbitrarily increasing the toughness level for the exam.

The assignments can be difficult with little guidance on the best approach to take and not to much activity on the forums. The questions can be difficult because of the formatting used and the way python uses format to decide program flow. The final exam takes considerably longer than the rest of the course

This course teaches you basics only, but when the questions are asked in the quiz they are no where related to what has been taught, and the level of difficulty of those questions is really high.

I think someone who has never coded before can approach this course. However, further reading of the resources presented will augment what has been taught and to better handle the quizzes.

A good introduction to Python, but the course is a rather short & I think more could have been said about genomics-specific functions, modules, etc. and how to use them.

I didn't know anything about programming and needed a lot of help with this course. I would have like more help in getting python and its complements install. Thanks.

i have difficulty to understand the last week but in general , the course, is a first step to learn more about python and need more to apply it on genomic.

Methods of assessment were far more difficult than lectures. However, the course does cover an appropriate overview of python in genomic data science.

Being new to Python it was quite difficult to me learning this. Also questions for quiz were quite hard as compared to examples shown in the video

Good teachers and well explained. Very interesting. I would have preferred to be followed by a tutor to have some explanations.
Thank you

The final lecture on Biopython, and the exam exercise are good. The quiz questions are annoying because the indentation is messed up.

The quizzes were pretty standard, but the lecture was poorly designed. I really enjoyed solving the problems of the final exam!

El curso está bien, pero se hace difícil de seguir si no eres programador o no tienes ideas previas sobre el tema.

Can't easily understand one of the instructors. Dislike how it chops and changes instructors in the same course.

This course is advanced and fast-paced. I found it difficult for those with minimal programming experience.

there is no mixing between the scripts and the videos the final codes in week 4 are so defficult

one pretty lecturer, the other with relative faster speak speed, some small error in slides

This is more of a intro course for Python basics rather that Python for genomics.

Good but need more practise problems in order to understand what you are learning

Dfficult to follow, at least for people without a background in programming.

Course content is ok, but didn't prepare well enough for the final exam

Could use more focus on Biopython, less on fundamentals
