I really liked the course, I had fun finishing assignments and learning the theory behind each concept. However, I take my time very seriously and this course has underrated the time you should devote as I end up having too much pressure due to other work I should be doing.

This course is awesome but I had done the same course named Biology meets Programming: Bioinformatics for Beginners which was uploaded ago by these guys but it was not a specialization for that course. Or I may not say it very surely.

As a graduate student with background in molecular biology, I find the computational challenging enough, and there is some new insights in biology as well. However, some of the lectures of week 3 and week 4 are very confusing.

Good introductory course for Bioinformatics. I like the hands-on activities in Week 5. However, sometimes I do not understand the pseudo code and therefore need to read the comments shared by other learners.

Very nice course and information, but backend could be more polished. Many tasks (expecially about randomized algorithms) could fail even if you do 100% right. And very little debug information provided.

The course has a good material, however I consider is not explained correctly. Sometimes it is very hard to understand each topics and you need some knowleadge related with programming.

Fascinating subject where informatics and biology come together . By taking these courses you get a deep understanding of how research results are obtained by multidisciplinary teams.

Hay muchas lagunas, faltan mejores explicaciones para aquellos que son nuevos programando, mejorar los códigos aportados o explicarlos para entender como funciona cada parte del código

It was very tough and worth attempting it because I have given many numbers of attempts in all the quizzes but at every attempt, I could rectify my mistakes.

A good course and introduction. Some of the computer graded homework assignments need better explanations for the desired result set, to avoid frustration.

Основной курс находится на Stepik, здесь же непродолжительные лекции которые полностью повторяются и раскрываются на Stepik что немного странно.

After completing the entire course, I feel like the majority of it was explained well. The assignments are fair and the content is interesting.

The content itself is interesting and challenging enough. However, the wordings need improvements. Some parts were difficult to understand.

Very interesting lectures and practical assignments. But in my opinion the capstone project is not too interesting for "computer" people.

Amazing course. Definitely a steep uphill climb, but designed to make one think deep and understand complex concepts. Worth the effort !

The course was great. I would recommend it to anyone interested. There are a few things to fix, especially on the external toolkit.

Some of the Stepik material needs to be updated and put in more clear and simpler language. Otherwise, great learning curve!

The programming assignments could have been described more appropriately otherwise the course material was quite great.

I couldn't finish successfully last question but I don't know why. I believe I understand the meaning of the question

The answers are stale. MEME tool results don't match what they expect. It takes a while to find students to review.

Please do Biology meet Programmer before doing this course. A bit leap even for biologist with some coding skill

the course is great, extermely informative and educational, just takes a lot of time to grok all the information

Есть недоработки, но вместе с комментариями других учащихся, можно разобраться в сути заданий

Good course! However, some parts of the honors track were too challenging for a biologist.

Some parts are written in a way that is very hard to understand, but overall good course
