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.

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 difÃcil 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

Too less exercise during the course. No example data are provided each week for exercise.

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

Need some python background before learning this.

The instructors told this course is not made for people with a programming background. In my opinion - as a software engineer (without much python experience) - this course is not made for beginners. The lectures are starting with basic programming knowledge but this is not enough to pass to quizes at all. You need much more exercise to understand the basic concepts.
The course and the quizes have more potential. I wish they would care more about highlighting, formatting,readability and also correctness of the provided code snippets. The final exam was totally confusing - a sample file is provided for implementing the algorithms, but no solution is available for the asked questions. Also the explanations are not always clear, so you need to guess what could be another possible solution

This is not a beginner course. Lectures were fine, but FAST and more like a review than an actual lecture. Quizzes were off the wall difficult especially in week 3 and 4, and do not get me started about the Final Exam. Im not sure why lectures spoke about one topic and all quizzes were seemingly BARELY related. If you are new to programming, start python somewhere else, and come back to this later. I found myself spending 50% of my time googling other resources trying to figure out basic code syntax. Super frustrating and I dont feel I learned very much here, unfortunately. This course may be helped a lot if the quizzes were RELEVANT to lecture material and if it would be at all possible to provide PRACTICE PROBLEMS as assignments instead of some of the quizzes? Just a thought...

El curso se encuentra desatendido, las actividades/examenes no presentan el formato correcto (desactualizado) lo que hace más difÃcil aun contestarlos, el examen final es bastante complicado para primerizos en Python. El curso te da conceptos básicos de Python aplicada a secuencias genomicas, es retador por los problemas anteriores, pero el conocimiento que se logra es bastante bueno. Recomiendo tomar otro curso de Python y posterior a ese tomar este, además, recuerda revisar los foros de debate dentro del curso para que conozcas de antemano los problemas que existen con cada actividad/examen.
