It was well taught. I liked the fact the two professors focused on two different subjects- biology and statistics portion of this course. The paragraphs written below each video was extremely helpful.

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!

The course is amazing for the people who lacks even the basic understanding of genomic data science. Being an agronomist, without a genomic data science background I have received a basic idea about genomic data science.

Truly, a wonderful introduction to an interesting course. Got difficulties somewhere especially in the final project article. Will definitely complete the entire specialization. Thanks you to the amazing faculties.

It was a really good course for introduction with the genomics and all related to it. I like that the course can be attended without paying the fee, unlike some others in this Specialization. Keep up the good work!

Really educational introductory course. My only suggestion would be to add more info or more basic information on the biostatistics part of the course for those who may not have a statistics background

The course is great for non-biological students, on the other hand for those who already have some knowledge it is only necessary if you have not been in touch with the basic concepts for a while.

This course gives me a brief introduction into genomics and how technology might help and has helped. The only complain is thatthe quiz are way too easy compared to university level course.

It's a crisp overview, concise and informative. Week-4 alludes to the power of genomic technologies; and also the pitfalls, if statistics and its adoption is not done right.
