This is a great course for all those who are interested in dissecting genome.

The course is a really great opportunity for all those interested in learning about genome data science with the galaxy. Because of this course, people like us who are not professionals in this field can learn a lot from this course.

I found the course to be very challenging but in the end, it was all worth it.

When I started the course, I faced a lot of problems in getting a sense of the whole concept. But when I started to put in some effort, I was finally able to understand what the course has to offer and the course turned out to be worth having.

Great course! Could divide the learning experience into two parts. Genomics and IT.

The course had two important parts in it genomics and IT, I was able to understand both these concepts in a very explanatory way and all the lectures were very well structured.

This was a great course! For beginners, this will feel very easy in the beginning but there is a lot more to know and understand.

This is a very interesting and engaging course that one can really enjoy learning from. Being a beginner I had to work a little hard to get a sense of the course but it was all for my own good. At the end of the course, I was able to learn so much from just this single course.

The final project was challenging and the forum contributors helped a lot in pointing out good resources or strategies they had used.

The whole course was very technical and a little challenging but I must say that the final project made me restless. It was quite challenging and I had to work really hard and put in a lot of hours in order to complete it. But overall the course helped me to take my understanding to the next level.

Very useful course, do not miss it. It puts a lot of things together. The project will make you work a lot if you really want to learn.

The course is very useful and there are a number of things that a learner will learn from this course. With the help of this course, a learner can become capable of putting a lot of things together regarding genomic data science. Also, the projects are a must solve, only then a learner can judge himself as to how much he has understood.

A very informative and well-conducted course.

The course has tons of information in it that most of the instructors fail to provide. Although this is a short course, the amount of information that this course has to offer is amazing. The whole pattern of the course is very admirable and I pretty much enjoyed every second of the course.

Useful and lightweight course except for the final project which is quite difficult, in my opinion.

The course is very useful as I was able to learn a bunch of things from it but I must say that the final project was very difficult. I was hoping the final project would be difficult but not this much.

This course offers a practical way to start NGS data analysis with Galaxy.

The course is really amazing as it provides a practical way to start NGS data analysis with galaxy and with that it also provides an overall concept about what to do when we handle Genomic Data, with less pain.

Good introduction to Galaxy. The final project will require a lot of reading and time understanding various tools.

The course has an amazing introduction to galaxy and I was able to know everything there is about galaxy and galaxy framework.

4 star rating:

The course is all good, except that for the project part, I guess there should be more flexibility in grading part.

The course videos are lean and has enjoyable hands on assignment to accomplish. In particular the last assignment is very exciting for its formula of peer (student to student) reviewed valuation systems.

The final project (forced hands-on) was the most helpful task that brought out real knowledge and experience in galaxy.

The thing that turned out to be of most helpful throughout the course is the final project. It really helps a learner to judge himself as to how much he has managed to learn.

Course is very good! Fun to learn about Galaxy.

This course introduces the powerful Genomic software Galaxy, which accesses supercomputers to solve bioinformatics problems. The lectures are very interesting and concise.

Great introduction to a new piece of software I had not yet come across. The lectures were clear and concise.

The course has a great introduction to galaxy and all the lectures available in the course were very clear, precise and relevant.

The course was highly practical and enlightening.

I think everything that is being taught in the course can be totally applied in practical life. The course throws light on different concepts of genomic data science and how galaxy framework can be used in dealing with data in a less time. The whole delivery style of the course is very appealing and easily understandable. Indeed the course is very helpful and every concept can be easily applied when it comes to applying in real world.

Great balance of theory, instruction and reference material.

This is a balanced course that has everything explained in it in an equal amount. All the instructions, reference materials and theory is explained in a balanced form. Neither one part is explained too long nor the other one too short.

3 star rating:

This is a very good beginner course. The only complaint I had on this course would be to have the instructors include ‘additional’ material that the students could access if they so desired.

I just have one problem that I would like to share and it is the absence of additional material. If the course had additional material in it then it would have given the learners an opportunity to take some more guidance from it.

2 and 1 star rating:

It is great, but can be better if there are more examples added in the course.

The course should have a number of examples in it but it had only a few ones. As we all know that what is taught with the help of examples is much effective and helps a learner to understand in an easiest way. So if the course had a number of examples in it then it would have been really easier to understand.
