prof. noor
Prof. Noor has put together a wide array of material that will enable you to much better understand and appreciate the beauty of evolution and the power genomics is bringing to our world.
I've taken about half a dozen courses at coursera and udacity so far, and this has been the best - mainly because of the enthusiasm of Prof. Noor and his ability to get even complex ideas across in an entertaining & clear manner.
Rewarding experience: Prof. Noor reads it really well.
Thank you Prof. Noor!
Prof. Noor gives a comprehensive introduction to the topic and his enthusiasm is infectious.
:) Prof. Noor rocks!
Prof. Noor did a great job in teaching without overburden and keeping a light tone while making me learn.Only one minor problem:Having never encountered multiple choice during my academic career, I was sometimes thrown off by the wording of questions and answers.
Noor explains with such clarity that even a 5 year old can learn about DNA.This is my 2nd time taking this class, and I've seen already many positive changes in this 1st week alone.Thank you Coursera, Duke University, all participants in general, and a very special thank you to Prof. Noor, your contagious love for science spreads like wild fire.
Watching Prof. Noor teach is just pure joy.
Prof. Noor also has a great sense of humor!

so much
It's hard to keep up, but when you're learning so much it's worthwhile.
Super clear and I've learned so much.
I suffered so much with the so well designed exams, but that pushds me to study harder and read more.
Since this is likely to be a problem with my own experience and does not affect others so much, I would not go as far as deducing anything.A future wish: Maybe a course on the subject, specialising in some subareas based on this course woudl be great.All in all, Prof. Noor and his team did a good job in conceiving and conducting this course.
Not having had a strong background in basic evolutionary principles it was fascinating to learn so much.
Recommended for anyone interested in the subject and probably for quite a few people who aren't (because it's so much fun).
Such an amazing course, thank you so much!
I have learned so much and in an such enjoyable way.
