Undoubtedly, the course brings a lot of relevant and interesting information that will be very useful and applied in my studies. The teaching staff is also very good. What made me not give the course 5 stars was mainly the tests. In addition to most of the questions being confusing (probably due to the English translation), many were not fully addressed in class. Also, the videos of the supplementary material are mostly in Chinese and although there are English subtitles, it is very difficult to follow the video and subtitles at the same time. I also think the course needs an update in its content. I'm taking the course in 2022, and most of the data is from 2013, which I imagine is the date the course was created. Anyway, I appreciate the opportunity to learn from this course and all the dedication of the team.

The course suits intermediates who know basic bioinformatics. From biotechnology background that I come from, 30 % of the tools and materials were familiar, but had difficulty understanding mathematical/statistics terms and theories. Though the lecturer explained it very well, it took a significant time to catch up with.

The course helped me to build a foundation on basic tools and applications, and revisiting some of the biotechnology applications. I now realize my strong and weak spots in the subject and expecting more courses like this for deeper understanding.

I think, the information on tools need updating. For example, KOBAS had a different UI and updated functionalities by the time I reviewed the chapter. Otherwise, the materials are top quality.

Awesome course, helped me a lot. Most of information is useful and given in an understandable way. But several problems should be adressed: some reseources, like KOBAN, are inaccessible (at least for some countries, but i suspect that for all but China), so some question in the tests are only to be solved by random. Also, some lectures (i. e. those about using NGS software) are not useful or understandable at all, especially for non-chinese students.

the course is very comprehensive and one could gain an overall view of bioinformatics. however requires background in biology and mathematics that could be acquired from external sources. some options in questions of quizzes are very similar.

The course was very educative and interesting. However, some of the parts in Chinese made it a bit more difficult. On the whole, I appreciate all the effort put into preparing the course.

it is not destined to the beginners I think, but it can helps with building a strong theoretical knowledge about the various applications of bioinformatics.

It was really a helpful course for me. I have learned lots of basic and advance bioinformatics tools. Thanks to the organisers and course instructors.

Excelente curso aunque requiere ejecricios prácticos de los programas impartidos durante el MOOC.

The course is very informative and also interesting. I am very glad I took the course

I am looking forward to attend this course from China's number one university

it is very useful for me and my classmates,which make our stady a lot.

I learn many things. Thank you

Great

内容很充实

GOOD

Esta buenas las primeras clases, luego se complejiza aun mas,es dificil pero puede hacerse.No me gusto mucho la idea de realizar un examen a mitad del curso si ya uno tiene un examen final, no entiendo para que.

Mas alla de todo las clases y los articulos recomendados son muy interesantes.

This is a good module for student to generate an overview of bioinformatics. I like the first part of the module very much which helps deepen the understanding of BLAST. However, the quiz contain too many negative (NOT correct) questions, and some are cramming.

Not what I was looking for !
