Network Analysis in Systems Biology

I also particularly appreciated there being plenty of reference materials which are directly related to the content being provided at the end of every lecture.

From the Systems Biology specialization courses, this is the one from where I have learned the most, in some way the reason is because I didn't know most of Network Analysis, but now I feel familiarized with it.

But I found many of the problems didn't really test your understanding of the material, just whether you remembered some fact from the lectures.

Also, have explained the working of different bioinformatics or network-based tools and software.

Perhaps a greater focus on offline techniques would be better if the Mayaan lab cannot invest the resources to maintain a bunch of servers.

I am a biology graduate who is now doing a Masters in Bioinformatics and I found this course extremely helpful as it covers a wide scope of topics in a (relatively) short amount of time, providing necessary background and allowing students to go off and explore particular areas of interest.

The course needs few update in terms of softwares/tools mentioned.

Also, it's a shame that not all of the sites are completely functions - I was particularity disappointing by not being able to log on to the crowdsourcing site.

The topics were generally very well explained, but the "necessary but not required" prerequisites are probably quite essentially to getting grips with the course.

Only downside is that it oscillates between these explanations to very dry demonstrations of specific tools.
