excellent info about what happens to food, being converted to glucose etc and being used in muscles...the energy pathways, enzymes and chemical processes are described in a clear and concise way.

I hadn't taken biochemistry yet and I found this course to be a wonderful introduction to it. The instructor took the time to explain all of his concepts in detail by sometimes providing different examples for them. The quizzes were also easy and digestible (5-6 questions at most) and covered the most important aspects of his videos. Even though I finished this course, though, I will continue to revisit from time to time to keep these concepts fresh in my mind.
Edit: After formally reviewing this course, I found that there were some deficiencies. One being that there was no assigned readings- just lecture videos which is great for visual learners like me, but sometimes i needed that additional text to better understand the concepts. Also, biochemistry is very difficult subject for most people; it would have been nice to have at least one peer-reviewed project, even if it was made optional so that we know we are going in the right track. Additionally, since the retaken quizzes reset themselves without offering new questions or changes to their original order, the value of those wrong questions sometimes went down as I retook them continously. Similarly, I didn't find an active forum to ask questions, so even if I posed one, I was doubtful that it would get answered with the lack of peer building embedded into the course. The threads just decrease in number after you drop off from Week 1 and the latest ones are about 1-2 years old.
Overall, though, I am still happy that I was able to take this course and be able to pass it to increase my knowledge in this subject. After closely looking through its deficiencies, I will look for another supplemental online course via Coursera or an actual textbook.

I am a senior in high school and took this course just for fun. The level of difficulty is just fine. With basic biology knowledge you can understand most of the course. There were many chemical reactions with unknown chemicals that are hard to understand, but even the professor often said that we don't need to remember all of the chemicals. Overall, I think it is a good course if you can be very focused. The topics are fascinating and are great for an introduction to bioenergetics!

I found this to be a very interesting course and the slides used in each session were informative and of high quality. I didn't purchase the course, so I wasn't able to do any of the quizzes because they were only available to those who had upgraded. Usually, Coursera courses include "free" quizzes as well as the paid ones, so this is a slight negative for me, hence I have scored it 4 stars rather than the 5 stars that it deserves based on the lectures themselves.

A very nice introduction to the field for biochemistry. The course focus on reaction pathways and energetics in biochemistry for process relate to living things, this is only some part of biochemistry as it is not the focus of the course to discuss about structural biochemistry, but it is a great intro course that will help get via in advance biochemical studies and other advance subjects.

It was something new to add to my knowledge, though most information I accumulated in high school as I am still a student, but in my native language. This course helped me learn new words up to an extended vocabulary in the field.

I wish we had some reading materials to accompany the lectures. I also wish the course covered fructose metabolism. Otherwise, it was a good and well-structured introduction to biochemistry. Thank you!
