Learner Reviews & Feedback for Introduction to Genomic Technologies by Johns Hopkins University

Relatively nice introduction course, contents are maybe rather limited, yet as an instructive course, it does provide a clear overview which correlates well with the required answers for the quizzes!

It is a great introduction course if you really don't know anything about the field. But if you think you have got the basics down, that means this course will be too easy for you.

A good basic introduction. Might have been nice to have had recommendations for further reading for those who were interested.

Fantastic course from two true authorities in the field. Great examples, and I was surprisingly enthralled by the statistical section; turns out I just never had the right teacher!

Have tried a few other courses around introduction to genomic technologies but this is the best structured course I have taken. Loved the course project as it gives a good insight on how to read scientific papers and what is expected from a genomic scientist. The only point would be to improve the statistics content(week 4) and make it more beginner friendly especially when it comes to p-values.

good

Very good introduction.

I found the course to be very clear and informative. I believe the molecular biology aspect was easy enough for someone without a background in biology or biochemistry to understand. Also, the computer science and statistical aspects were also explained in a clear way.

Quite good explanation of molecular biology and statistics. Hope the narrator can lower down the speed, since it is a little tough for a non-native English speaker to catch-up with it (Though the pronunciation is very clear)

Gained good knowledge

Good beginner course to introduce genomics

Good course in introducing main concepts of specialization.

It seemed a little too easy, especially for the timeline given. Seemed like there should have been more information, or have gone more in-depth

Moves too fast, but excellent content and information. Very engaging!

This is my first course in Genomic Technologies (and one I completed overall). I was taking this course bit lightly for being the introductory/basic course but I have learnt a number of new things: Introduction to some stats terms I overlooked/haven't learnt before like p-test and confounders, the incredible example of data-counterfeiting in the academia and how PCR and next-gen sequencing technologies work. Although I couldn't learn in depth, which is obvious since its first of the 8 course specialization, so I am anxious to take the next course - this specialization is looking very exciting.

great

Good intro for people who don't have any background, a little too simple for people who already work in this criteria or have knowledge about

Great way of delivering information.

Good class but incredibly basic. Needs to go a bit more in depth. Feels rushed.

Pretty basic introduction. Not bad, not outstanding, just average: 3 stars.

Basic course

It was difficult, especially towards the end. But I dig it! And will keep pushing forward! Thanks!

good class, learn a lot!

Classes were perfect!

Increased my curiosity to learn more about genomic data science
