Genomic Data Science with Galaxy

Final project is nightmare.

Final project is AWFUL (there is no lecture teaching about variant calling tools on Galaxy and how to manipulate VCF files and THAT`S what they pick for a final project!).

Very fun and educational This is a very good course but I took a lot of time on the final project because it was very difficult since much of the work was not covered in class.

The lectures in no way prepare an individual to tackle the the final project.

The final project is quite apprehesive at first glance, nevertheless its engaging when you pry for furthermore to create the ultimately functioning workflow of demanded results.

My suggestion would be to add on few more materials before the final project submission.

The lectures and quizzes were great to teach Galaxy to a first-time user, but were not sufficient to inform on how to do the final project.

If more information is provided on how to do the final project, then this course would improve.

The final project is TOUGH for beginners and requires you to implement skills that were not touched upon during the course.

It was super complicated to draw conclusions in the final project due to lack of information in the course.The Galaxy is very powerful, provides fantastic features, I think it would be interesting to extend the duration and create more in-depth materials.

Only one problem, it was difficult to perform the final project wiht the knowledge we got from the course.

I think the final project required much more domain knowledge than what the course actually taught.Peer review system can be sometimes very confusing.

Someone recommended that doing command line tools for genomic data science really helped them.Definitely, worthwhile course.

As the second (of 7) course in the "Genomics Data Science" sequence, I had expected to learn more about genomic analysis.

The course is quite easy to take, which is reflected in its ability to inform the needed tools and approaches for doing some very basic genome data exploratory analysis.The Final assignment was however outside the scope of the learning from this course, as principles and anaylsis which are NOT covered by this course (but in a latter Genomic Data Science specialization - Command Line tools) , are required to complete the final assignment.

This entire specialization on data sciences for genomics is a horribly done effort with no co-ordination, inadequate theory, poorly thought out examples and assignments totally different from what is taught var rating = 3;rating += 1; // learn by doingrating -= 2; // learning deprecated and thus useless materialrating -= 1; // chaotic presentation and failure to explain any concepts deeplyreturn rating;>>>rating: 1 Good course, but project was not well explained or executed Overall, a very informative course.

I am taking this course as a requirement for the Data Science Specialization.

Good intro course for people trying to understand data science role in Genome related data and other informations.

There was a great leap between the first introductory course and the second (current) one in this genomic data science specialization.

Read the discussion forums and you'll see what I'm talking abut.

Some of the confusions can be clarified by reading bunch of past discussions, but it'd be much better if there is a single place (not discussion forum) where students can find all the necessary information regarding the final project and how to grade.

Help via the discussion forum was critical to design an analysis pipeline - so thank you Dejan and all contributors for the support.This is not a course I could easily do part-time: I don’t have time to read the fine print on what is available for free on Amazon, nor do I have time to go through all of the tools on galaxy to find out what would be the best for my analysis.On the positive side: I think Galaxy is a great tool.

The community in the discussion forum has been posting issues with executing the tutorials and assignments for over 3 years with no assistance.

Fortunately, discussion forum posts by students and Mentors provide guidance about the Galaxy software.

The final exam is peer reviewed by two classmates and I didn't pass because one classmate is unable to open the vcf file It is very nice Course to learn the hands-on dry lab work for Biologists.

The final exam is out of proportion to what was taught in class.

Also, the final exam requires you to do a lot of search, find and define.

The final exam is confusing with very vague instruction.

The material is not sufficient to have a good learning experience with the Final Exam Very useful!

It felt like following instructions to push certain buttons.

I felt like I was getting freshman-level lectures and than was given a graduate-level assignment.

I felt like the course project was far more advanced than all the other detail.

I hope they add some lectures as whatever lectures are currently available are clear content very helpful class.

This course is very helpful for postgraduate students dealing with sequence data analysis.

The course is good, I don't feel like I'm very excellent with Galaxy at the end of it Not very well explained concepts in the course.

The course itself is very well taught, although the information is rudimentary relative to the final project.
