Learner Reviews & Feedback for Comparing Genes, Proteins, and Genomes (Bioinformatics III) by University of California San Diego

One of the most difficult courses so far, but working hard you made it.

A very well taught course that gives you the ins and outs of sequence comparision and introduces chromosme rearrangement analysis in a succint manner. This was

Take your time, this course is harder than the others. Very worth it though, learned a lot and it was a lot of fun!

Good coursera.

One of the most challenging courses that I have done.

Very challenging but excellent walk through

This course was harder than the previous one, I am happy to have made it to the end!

This was intensive, time-consuming, thought-provoking ... pleasure! I really enjoyed it, it took me more time than the schedule proposed, but it was worth it. I liked exploring things on my own, and tampering with the code/algorithms. This part of the course now assumes that you can think intelligently and will do so. Although this is a course in bioinformatics I often found myself laying on the bed with a piece of paper drawing graphs in order to fully grasp what I need to do so my code would be more efficient.

Excellent work! I'll start the next part now.

Muy bueno.

Excellent course

this course is easy understandable and interesting for the beginners!

a very good course!

I have taken courses I, II and III. They were consistently excellent. I plan to go for the next one.

Good class

In depth and comprehensive coverage of the topics in genetic data analysis.

Some content in Stepik might be erroneous...

I think Week 4 and 5 should be explained more. Pseudo-code can be more detailed.

I think I will need some pseudocode in stepik interactive material to complete the code challenge. some part still too confused to me

for me this was a very intresting courde where I learined a lot about the research behind genetics especially how difficult it is to interprete the experiemntal data. I also like the mathematical background in graph theory.

Not being a boilogist I miss some extra inforamtion about the biological relevance and would like more pratical exemples before doing the final challenge which I found rather diffucult: only after reviewing my peers I really startd to onderstand the challenge.

What I also miss is the community building aspect. Therre is a forum on every page but the comment are usually very old (3 of more years) so you can't expect to have a dialogue anymore. Problems reported years ago are sill open. I also woud like to know how many learners are currently following this course.
