This course is very very good. Challenging at times. It does not hold your hand at all times and sometimes requires research to solve some of the problems, but I like the community and the approach.

Excellent introduction to bioinformatics. They put a lot of heart and thought into the design of the course. I will continue to use the concepts I've learned in and out of bioinformatics.

Great course! Really liked the instructors and the online tool to follow along with concepts and coding challenges. There were a few points with vague instructions that took some extra time to figure out. Would definitely recommend this course but it will be more difficult for people with little to no programming experience.

Even if quite hard, contrary to what is said at the beginning, this course challenged my biology knowledge whilst introducing me to the fascinating world of algorithms and coding. I'd recommend starting an introductory course on biology meets programming before starting this adventure.

Content-wise it was great. I got quite disheartened by the peer graded assignment: the majority of the submissions I graded just copied the rubric. There needs to be a negative grade for cheaters - but I think it better that we don't have peer-graded assignments in the first place.

I really liked the course, I had fun finishing assignments and learning the theory behind each concept. However, I take my time very seriously and this course has underrated the time you should devote as I end up having too much pressure due to other work I should be doing.

This course is awesome but I had done the same course named Biology meets Programming: Bioinformatics for Beginners which was uploaded ago by these guys but it was not a specialization for that course. Or I may not say it very surely.

As a graduate student with background in molecular biology, I find the computational challenging enough, and there is some new insights in biology as well. However, some of the lectures of week 3 and week 4 are very confusing.

Good introductory course for Bioinformatics. I like the hands-on activities in Week 5. However, sometimes I do not understand the pseudo code and therefore need to read the comments shared by other learners.

Very nice course and information, but backend could be more polished. Many tasks (expecially about randomized algorithms) could fail even if you do 100% right. And very little debug information provided.

The course has a good material, however I consider is not explained correctly. Sometimes it is very hard to understand each topics and you need some knowleadge related with programming.

Fascinating subject where informatics and biology come together . By taking these courses you get a deep understanding of how research results are obtained by multidisciplinary teams.

Hay muchas lagunas, faltan mejores explicaciones para aquellos que son nuevos programando, mejorar los c贸digos aportados o explicarlos para entender como funciona cada parte del c贸digo

It was very tough and worth attempting it because I have given many numbers of attempts in all the quizzes but at every attempt, I could rectify my mistakes.

A good course and introduction. Some of the computer graded homework assignments need better explanations for the desired result set, to avoid frustration.

After completing the entire course, I feel like the majority of it was explained well. The assignments are fair and the content is interesting.

The content itself is interesting and challenging enough. However, the wordings need improvements. Some parts were difficult to understand.

Very interesting lectures and practical assignments. But in my opinion the capstone project is not too interesting for "computer" people.

Amazing course. Definitely a steep uphill climb, but designed to make one think deep and understand complex concepts. Worth the effort !

The course was great. I would recommend it to anyone interested. There are a few things to fix, especially on the external toolkit.

Some of the Stepik material needs to be updated and put in more clear and simpler language. Otherwise, great learning curve!

Please do Biology meet Programmer before doing this course. A bit leap even for biologist with some coding skill

the course is great, extermely informative and educational, just takes a lot of time to grok all the information
