I give this course 5 star because I did Bioinformatics I and I totally enjoy it.\n\nThis is where programming can be fun, and practical, and you'll learn some basic biology too.\n\nWhat's not to love?
I learned a lot from this difficult and time-consuming course! It covers biological concepts using Python. It made learning Python more interesting for me, since I have always loved biology.

•A good introduction to computational aspects of bioinformatics. However, the pace of the course might seem too low if you have a strong computer science background.

•It is a great course. But stepik platform needs to be edited. There are some chapters with hard problems and typos, but if you work hard, you will learn a lot.
By Greg T
•A stimulating and engaging survey of elementary bioinformatics algorithms (searching and pattern matching) with the added bonus of practice with Python.
By Kyle B
•Difficult for beginners inexperienced in coding but so rewarding and extremely interesting! Awesome introduction into the field of bioinformatics
By Abdullah D S
•The course is alright. I learned a great deal from the challenges in the Stepik modules. The only issue is that the material is pretty dry.
By Rohan S
•Excellent course to learn Python programming and great way to learn very interesting topics in biology and be introduced to bioinformatics.

•Novel knowledge and require some python base.More useful for leaners if printable handout with summarized information provided .
By Will V L P
•Very technical.... I certainly would recommend this to someone with a prior experience in Biology. Regardless, very good course
By Caroline C
•I already have python background so it is good for me. Maybe not suitable for beginner who doesn't touch python before.
By Mohamed A
•Very good introductory course to new learners in bioinformatics or students who are just curious about this field.
By Afshin P
•Thank you.
This course was very effective for me.
It has a lot of details, and I need to review some issues agian
By Florent C
•Très bon cours malgré le fait qu'il faille passer par une plateforme externe de Coursera pour les cours
By Surabhi D
•Stepic issues with not syncing progress and assignment completion. All else was good. Well paced.

•very interesting!, i liked the stepik interactive lesson very much, i prefer them over lectures

•Limited intro course compared to one offered few years ago but still Great start , Thank you
By Tarik A
•Please add more video course and meaningful assignments instead of all readings. Thanks

•It doesnt seem for begginers in coding but still there is a lot of helpful information!
By SABARI K B B
•Way more to be "digestible" to beginners in bioinformatics and non-computer students.
By Paul J
•First time coding, so found some parts challenging, but worked it all out in the end!
By Daniel H
•A very interesting course, but perhaps not necessarily for "begginer" programmers.
By Michael E L
•Great intro course even if tedious for those who know next to nothing about coding
By Hamza A D
•Good course although could be improved with more simplicity and less complexity.
By María J F P
•This is definitely NOT a beginners course. Very interesting and useful, though.

•/Não é nada fácil e muito menos nível iniciante, mas consegui pensar bastante.
By Juan J M
•This is a challenging course for absolute beginners, but definitely rewarding!
