4 and a half stars. Some more coverage of biopython and random length variables would be helpful.

Very good--perhaps a little slow for those who have already learned a half-dozen languages.

Good start on Python and some sequence analysis, looking forward to start programming more

Uma pena não poder submeter aos quizes sem efetuar a compra do curso.

it is a nice course overall, but needs more practical examples.

Very informative course for people working with genomic data

part "sys" of week 4 is really unclear

I learn a lot here! Thanks!

It was good and practical.

final exam was tough

VERY GULD!!!

Great leaps of difficulty seem unavoidable in this kind of courses. It felt rather easy at the beginning of the course but the level of difficulty just increased exponentially. Programming actually takes a much longer time than simply 4 weeks to learn and practice to be skillful. So please add some sort of warning stating"decent background knowledge required" to the course introduction or it will be a torture taking the course as a completely beginner. The course design could have been done better.

I enjoyed the lectures, but I felt they didnt go into enough details on analysis of sequence data. The final project was considerably harder than the material taught in the class and problems with the course (e.g. the final exam file not being available) had obviously not been fixed since the last version of the course. A fell I now have a good basic understanding of python but not enough to do any real analysis. Fantastic course mentor/TA.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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
