Quite informative and useful course... I just love it...

This is an amazing course, very well organized, with great assignments. One of the best I have done so far. However, flaws are present, Honors assignments are rarely graded, as it seems just a few peers do them, and there is no staff to grade. Today (June 13, 2021), one of my assignments is yet ungraded, it was submitted two months ago (April 19, 2021). Also, I have graded assignments that are months old, and this suggests that they are waiting for a grade for a long time. However, I suggest doing them even though they might not be graded, it is worth it if you think about the knowledge acquired.

OVERALL RATING: 2 stars/5

PROS: Amazing Content! Great, funny, instructors, really thought provoking, lucid content. One of the best courses I have come so far.

I will give 5/5 for the content.

CONS: Horrible management! No one to help or respond to queries, as if all mentors are in deep slumber. Numerous technical issues with the website, pasting text was not happening, submission errors. Really gross mismanagement. Resetting deadlines when not required, option to reset deadlines don't show up when there is an actual need to do so. No one to review / grade your assignments. Really a bummer! Pathetic! The blame falls squarely on the technical team, and course management.

I will give 0/5 for apathy

Hello, myself Mili Patel

I really enjoyed this course. All in this course satisfying and just want to say it's beyond my expectation.

Thank you.... 🙂

While the content was of interest, the restriction from graded quizzes for those of us auditing the course very much limits the value of the course.

Peer graded assignments should be removed from this course.

So difficult to get someone to reviwe your assignment

So far l just love the course and the instructors...

But due to unavoidable situations during bi-phasic flood in September-October,2019; I could not be able to complete this nice course. I hardly can manage paying the fees/upgradation charges to complete it, as my family conditions make me earn very limited. I will be grateful to team Coursera, if they allow me learn further by unlocking this ongoing course.

This is the best course I have ever taken. The teachers talk like they are speaking to you and not as if they are reading off a powerpoint (even though im sure some of them are). It makes the material soak in better instead of just saying intense information sentences after the other. The video editing is done in a way that keeps me engaged. The material is extremely interesting. The discussions challenge me. Everything about this course is awesome.

A very fun and interesting course. It was challenging. I learnt a lot from this course. It is the best course a person could ask for. It was really interesting. I will remember genomics: decoding the language of life forever..

Excepcional! Aprendi muito. Sinto-me apto e motivado a prosseguir nesta matéria.

An interesting and productive way to start unraveling the science of genomics and genetic engineering! This course will prompt you to apply critical thinking to tackle the assignments and submissions, the videos will motivate you and open your mind to ideas, and it will definitely enhance your ability to practically approach the science and benefit from it! A really good course!

So far, I think this is great course! One thing I do notice, however, is that the practice assignment mini-tests that immediately follow a series of videos in a Module are not always relevant to the series of videos. Rather, the questions on the practice tests aren't discussed until a later series of videos. I noticed this for several modules.

This course is very informative! It starts with the basics, and gradually builds on the concepts. Amazing examples from real-time researches are quoted, just to show the vast applications of this field... which makes learning all the more exciting! The assignments and quizzes are well designed. A wonderful investment of time and effort!

very nice course, but please do not keep certificates dependent on grading procedure. take more test if you want a time-limited or online is also fine but not dependent on grading. it takes a long time and some of the students like me might need this as part of their exam or coursework so certificates are necessary on time.

I really enjoyed this course, I have learned some new really interesting things in this 6 weeks. I really liked the videos and the variety of professionals and to hear the opinion and points of view of all the different areas of research present and how they use genomics. It was really interesting and informative.

This course helped me to understand the basics of genomics and its usefulness in solving problems in some areas such as medicine and agriculture. It also helped me to reflect on the advantage of using this tool for future research because genomics is the instruction manual for all life on earth.

This was worth the while. I had fun reading articles, learning the basics of genomics, its application, future prospects and more clarity on my area of research interest. It is worth exploring, you just don''t know the type of gem you might find in your genome.

This course is amazing!!. After completing this course I came to know many new things about genomics, enjoyed the course contents a lot. Any person who has very little knowledge about genetics and is interested to know a lot about it can enroll in this course.

This course is the first course I took on the coursers platform, and it was an awesomely rewarding experience, the course content ,videos, assignments, peers all made up to an amazing experience , even though there is still room for more improvements.
