I think this course does a good job in trying to be comprehensive and provide some amount of coverage for many relevant topics to genomics in medicine (or "precision" medicine).
If I have a chance to revise my review, then I might change this to be 4 stars instead of 3 stars.
However, my reasoning for giving 3 stars is follows:
- There are a number of typos. I also have a tendency to make typos, and I reported many (but not all) of what I noticed through the system to report issues. So, if those are fixed, then I hope that helps future students.
- While I can understand the motivation to avoid inflating grades by re-taking quizzes too many times, there was a fairly large number of questions where I was not sure why I did not get the 100% graded option. To be fair, this was not so bad that I risked not passing the class. However, I don't think it was ideal for learning purposes.
- I took the course both to refine my knowledge as well as try out courses to potentially recommend to others (where I am a Bioinformatics Specialist working in genomics research for my main job). If there was only 1 or 2 points where I was not sure if I agreed with the conclusion, then I could try having a discussion to either see what I misunderstood or possibly describe the issue better (or both). However, I think there was a noticeable amount of time when I was not sure if I completely agreed, and the difficulty in finding the "correct" answers when multiple options were provided per question made that harder. To be fair, I definitely agreed with conclusions much more than I disagreed with conclusions, and I think many core concepts were covered well. However, at the moment, I think I would first like to try out some additional courses before returning for additional discussions (and then possibly revising my review, if that is possible).

Lots of interesting information, especially if you have a draw towards genetics and learning about the nuances of precision medicine. However, when you really think about it, this course is a bit of a hypothetical. Nothing is yet in practice, it's all ideas and theories. But, at the end of the day, we will always be "practicing" medicine. Overall, great exposure to interesting and intriguing topics. I am looking forward to seeing how and if the field of genetics will change medicine for the better, especially with implementation of these new studies and research. Lengthy course, but the assignments keep you in check with what topics are being explored.

Way too much information and not enough conceptual focus as I think you tried to tackle a very complex topic in too much detail. The multiple answer questions in particular tested more your understanding of comprehension and the nuances of language than the concepts with a lota of ambiguity in choices.

practical knowlege is minimal. tests arent really from the videos. study material text doesnt open

Loved it; however, if there were more visual representations, it would be the cherry on top.

This a very poorly designed course. For example, the course presents many fictional hypothetical case studies instead of actual cases. Thus, it is very difficult to relate the fictional cases to to real life. It is very difficult to follow the lectures because they are presented in non-grammatical English. Some sections are in French when the course is supposed to be in English. The tests are poorly designed, confusing, and badly worded. Overall, a waste of time.

A lot of unnecessary quiz with 1 question. It looks like the designer assumed 4-5 year old kids are taking this course. Not happy with the process, but fine with the scientific material.
