Excellent course with a wealth of information about tools and applications of whole genome sequencing. Presented in a very lucid and interesting manner, very crispy and simplified course.

Thank you very much for this course through which i learnt basic handling of bioinformatics tools and concepts of WGS. This will help me a lot while pursuing my PhD research work in my field.

Interesting topic! And well presented material! It is very convenient and helpful to be introduced into several bioinformatic tools, as they may seem intimidating in the beginning. Also, I liked the final assignment.
I would suggest to add more assignments during this 5 week course as it is hand-on work and thus it motivates students to learn more and get familiar with the tools. It would also be useful to put more emphasis into the applications f these tools and how widely they are used. It would also be useful to do some troubleshooting during the course, like how we should interpret the results when they are not so clear or what we could further do to acquire a more clear picture.
Thank you very much for everything! It has been an enjoyable 5-week course.

It was a good learning experience, you won't learn WGS but you will learn how to analyse WGS nicely except at end of the course i was not that much happy with phylogenetic trees and analysis part, felt like they could have tought lil more nicely because of that it was lil difficult to pass the last test, also i think whether there is some problem with there batch upload tool or now it is not available for public use or something, so at the end of the course the task you have to complete kinda need that batch upload,so i had to analyse each sample one by one (good practice though) apart from that the way they have designed the test is good you will use tool practically and learn, and it was good 馃憤

There is very little background information given to what is being done, how it is being done or why it is being done. Obviously an online course like this can only go into so much detail but there was almost no explanation of the background. It is also not just using the medical field as its context but what is taught has almost no relevance outside medicine as the course is better understood as a tutorial on how to use their own web tools. While those tools serve their purpose, unless you want to use their tools, you will gain very little over the course.

This is a set of manuals. No theory - just a description of several tools with some very basic explanation of the principles underlying these tools.
Before applying for this course, I can suggest visiting the site with all the tools described in these courses and reviewing it - it may be easier for someone (and definitely faster) to read the instructions on the site https://cge.cbs. dtu.dk/services/
However, the tools themselves are quite useful.

The lectures are okay and very comprehensive, but the examination process is annoying as none of them had real feedback (for example, if three choices were correct but you selected only two of them, you don't get intermediate grades). Anyway, the tools are useful.

Was slightly disappointed about how the class is very on the surface. It covers some cool tools but does not go into the details of genome sequencing, which I was expecting to see more of. Some lectures are highly repetitive as well.

Got only rudimental knowledge of WGS but more detailed information how to use their pipelines- seems like a more commerical course than learning element.
I'd like the other course about antimicrobial resistance much better.

This course has been mainly constructed to explain how the full set of bioinformatic tools developed by the CGE of DTU can be used. Personally, I would have preferred a course with more theoretical basis.

I thought this would be informative but the entire course is basically an infomercial for using their web based tools. Which to some, could be helpful but any serious bioinformatician should avoid.

I liked some of the sections but the course is really focused on the platform developed by its university, so despite it is useful it does not give examples of another tool like BLAST

Poderiam explicar mais a fundo algumas defini莽玫es e me pareceu que algumas ferramentas est茫o desatualizadas (Ex: Ferramenta para montagem, Velvet, a mais usada no momento 茅 a Spades)

Good lectures, but unfortunately there is little general background transferred through this course. The lectures and the quiz seem mainly to be advertisement for their tools.

the presentation skills and the language were not so high. some files that need analysis are not working. But it is useful course by the end.Thx alot

The course itself is great, unfortunately the person who designed it and is the main speaker has incomprehensible English, to a point that one needs triple the exertion to understand her. The transcript of the speech seems to be automatically generated, so one can not even read the lecture to understand it.

Except for the main professor, other professors taught very bored and tired. The said sites did not work either
