The UCSD affiliation is really the only reason to do this course. It is so much harder than it needs to be.

Long waits for peer review....ruins what is a good course.

The instruction material was slightly less helpful than in bioinformatics I.

Thank you very much for such an engaging course.

good course!

Excellent course. I didn't have the time to follow the honor's track, but I've done it for other instances of the specialization and I can say that the interaction with Stepic works perfectly. Way to go, thank you!

Great , interactive content. Well structured and explained.

The course needs updates EXAMPLE: The version 3.0 for spades doesn't give the statistics and if you do a new version it doesn't give you the same data. I think this happened to other students, but we used Quast that it was later described in the instructions, but if it wasn't because someone suggested it in the discussion I would have follow the same path of using a new version that would have given me wrong data.

Thank you so much, This course has been helping me a lot.

CHEERS!!!

good introduction :)

Great Materials but bad support

Another excellent course. Great to be able to start from a basic idea and keep expanding it until we look back and see we've learnt how to solve quite a complex problem!

Excellent course to get a sense of Genome sequencing , programming assignments really make you learn.

If you liked first course, you must take second course too, one of the most enjoyable and challenging courses available. It's great not only for bioinformaticians, but for people who are interested in algorithms and their application.

I like the real-world tasks, especially the assembly on the final exam. Some of the programming tasks, such as the antibiotic noisy spectrum assembly, are challenging (which is good).

A really rewarding course! Definitely shifted up a gear compared to the preceding course, so I recommend doing this in the prescribed order.

Great course for beginning in Genome sequencing..

Spend a huge amount of time because of mistakes in tasks!

It would be great if all the slides for every week could be shared. The Bioinformatics II is much harder than the last level. They've made it easy to learn.

This is a well organized course with excellent interactive programming exercises that help with learning the concepts.

I particularly enjoyed this course a lot more than the first! i felt it was more application oriented and intuitive.

The course is well defined.

There is no debug dataset like the previous course, which means you will get stuck longer.

These courses are consistently excellent. The are possiblly the best entry point for someone wishing to have a go at bioinformatics.

Very nice course!

Great!
