This course is not well-structured. If your background is not molecular biology, it would be challenged to understand this material. I suppose introduction is needed. Also, it is expected that you know R because the lesson 'Basics of R' is not full-covered and not comprehensive. Whole course looks like seminar for advanced/intermediate users, because lecturer does not explain in detail.

The course is incredibly outdated. I noticed this right from the start as the method he teaches to install bioconductor does not even work anymore. The videos are extremely hard to follow even for someone who has prior R knowledge. Wish I could get my money back.

It seemed that the target audience is people who had already had comprehensive knowledge in genomics, proteomics and transcriptomics and are already good in R.

The contents and the way they are presented in the course is very dificient.

A very basic course you need to learn by yourself a lot

Out of date information

Essentially, there is just a bunch of new stuff presented during the lectures and then there is a quiz about it. No idea how you are supposed to remember what is presented. There is no reinforcement through practice, no pointing out what is important, no connections between topics. I spent way too much time trying to figure out in the discussion forum why I am not getting the answers I am supposed to in the quizzes.

The course content is quite outdated and difficult to understand. Many of the commands don't work anymore. This course was the worst compared to the other courses in the specialization where the instructor was very clear on their explanation.
