Отзывы учащихся о курсе Genome Sequencing (Bioinformatics II) от партнера Калифорнийский университет в Сан-Диего

Course is abandoned, no support on forums, waiting for weeks for peer-reviews, images don't load in the interactive text and quizzes, links in assignments are broken. Coursera should refund me for this joke.

These courses are consistently excellent. The are possiblly the best entry point for someone wishing to have a go at bioinformatics.

Long waits for peer review....ruins what is a good course.

Spend a huge amount of time because of mistakes in tasks!

The course is great, but be prepared to spend 20-30 hours a week on it...

I learned a lot on this course. Sequencing, sequencing antibiotics. Ilumina sequencing using BaseSpace. I attended an Ilumina seminar in person ( that I found on the website and by serendipity was coming to my city) and understood everything, because the experience with this course. I wish you can connect the sections with relevant papers (Pavel have so many that is hard to choose one).

The course is absolutely fantastic. Concepts are introduced gradually, and you get away with solid fundamentals of genome sequences.

Beware however that the course is not actively maintained any longer and has few participants. It may be that your final assessment will take a bit to be graded by the peers and the forums are not super active.

If you liked first course, you must take second course too, one of the most enjoyable and challenging courses available. It's great not only for bioinformaticians, but for people who are interested in algorithms and their application.

Excellent course. I didn't have the time to follow the honor's track, but I've done it for other instances of the specialization and I can say that the interaction with Stepic works perfectly. Way to go, thank you!

Great course to explore a bit of Bioinformatics for those with no background in Bioinformatics. I love the way the content has been provided, its interactivity increases the interest in the course.

I like the real-world tasks, especially the assembly on the final exam. Some of the programming tasks, such as the antibiotic noisy spectrum assembly, are challenging (which is good).

It's really a great course. A must for everyone working with bioinformatic tools in order to understand some basics and limitations that ultimately leads to biological conclussions

Another excellent course. Great to be able to start from a basic idea and keep expanding it until we look back and see we've learnt how to solve quite a complex problem!

It would be great if all the slides for every week could be shared. The Bioinformatics II is much harder than the last level. They've made it easy to learn.

A really rewarding course! Definitely shifted up a gear compared to the preceding course, so I recommend doing this in the prescribed order.

The exercises were challenging. But thanks to the community in Stepik, I can understand more details for the genome sequencing algorithms.

Excellent and fun introduction to sequencing techniques. I found it harder than Bioinformatics I, but worth the effort.

This is a well organized course with excellent interactive programming exercises that help with learning the concepts.

I particularly enjoyed this course a lot more than the first! i felt it was more application oriented and intuitive.

This one is great introductory course for physicist like who knows the computing but lacks biological background.

Excellent course to get a sense of Genome sequencing , programming assignments really make you learn.

great course for those with strong motivation and interest. but it is a difficulty one though

Very useful to my working project. My gratitude for all the staff of this course.

Very helpful to those biologist who wants to start a career in bioinformatics

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