It was a very interesting course and opened up novel and new ways one can think for finding the predictable and the unpredictable properties.
The course has given me a great way to learn Bioinformatics. I especially loved the mode of teaching and the case studies.
I think its the best MOOC I have ever enrolled at.
The course is very informative and also interesting. I am very glad I took the course
