I give this course 5 star because I did Bioinformatics I and I totally enjoy it.
This is where programming can be fun, and practical, and you'll learn some basic biology too.
What's not to love?

I learned a lot from this difficult and time-consuming course! It covers biological concepts using Python. It made learning Python more interesting for me, since I have always loved biology.

The course is hard for whose major is biology because there is no detailed explanation regarding algorithms. I do not recommend this course to people who have not studied programming.

the content is good but it is definitely not for beginners. the course content requires a lot of coding knowledge and basics of molecular biology to understand

The external tool was too complex for a beginner in programming, which defeats the purpose of the exercise. This made me lose interest very quickly.

Can be more interactive with videos for beginners for more comprehensive understanding. Otherwise, wonderful, highly informative content!

Very complex for students. Coding wise very dificcult to follow for beginners, but with perserverance you can understant the message.

Programming part not well explained and too difficult- it can clearly be seen from the comments that many people have the same issues

It's really helpful and amazing for those who know basic statistics, maths and programming. But it's not for beginners at all

Gets quickly very confusing and difficult. Also, do the Codeacademy Python class before even starting this course.

Programming Level is NOT FOR BEGINNERS. The Codecademy was useless when compared to the coding assignments given.

the coding aspect were neither clear nor easy enough for a biologist who is new to programming to grasp

Steptik images in week 4 aren't showing up which means its impossible to understand what's going on

Too complicated for a beginner's course, the quizzes don't match the stepik chapters.

It is hard for beginners. Especially for some who has no computer lesson background.

It has been the most stressful and frustrating course, certainly not for beginners.

Its called Bioinformatics for "Beginners", when it is still extremely difficult.

It is telling that the vast majority of 5-star ratings seem to come from people with a background in programming. For those of without any programming knowledge, the sink or swim format of this course is unhelpful.
I think I would have learned a lot if the logic of the correct answers to the programming questions had been explained more clearly, if at all. Looking at answers of other students, I often saw syntax that had not been introduced in the course yet. I had to unenroll because this was supposed to be just for fun for me and it was just a headache.
