This course has further deepened my passion for bioethics!

Debra JH Mathews delivers the course in a way that makes you feel confident that you can face such difficult questions and the material is very well-chosen and explained.

Thank you for this course!

Very insightful course for young scientists and engineers to understand bioethics!

Dr. Matthews is a fantastic instructor; Slide deck is great.

for some reason I was not getting any feedback on my week 1 quiz, and I tried the quiz so many times and i got the same 60 percent which was unbelievable since I prepared for the quiz, this has been throwing me off

many tecchnical problems including grading, several of the readings are no longer on the web where she had linked them (i.e she shouldve uploaded or scanned etc)

potentially fascinating but a total waste of money and time because of all of the technical difficulties as well as the missing links.

Bad course design.

I really enjoyed taking this course. It was very interesting and informative for me. The course allowed me to get a deeper and more broad points of view about the topics of ethical issues related to synthetic biology and biotechnology. Thank you professor Debra Mathews and to all involved in this course!

Excellent course, I really liked it, I am actually studying Biotechnology and didn't know anything that was taught here. I think that either you are studying the theme or not it is important and may be aplicable for other subjects.

fun and interesting course. very well taught by somebody obviously knowledgeable. Thanks so much.

I really enjoyed this course, excellent explanations and very good class material.

Great course! Learn a lot of new information about governance in Synbio.

Great topics to review bioethics from a bunch of perspectives.

Nice and well done course!!!

It's an amazing course

Nice experience

fascinating course about genetics and disease. However, it's kind of a no-brainer to know that their unethical and ethical ways to use genetics. Lord knows some mad scientist is going to use this technology to create a new disease or some sort of Frankenstein to unleash upon the world.

pretty good class. kind of technical but gives one some good stuff to think about

Awesome course!

from a decade ago

I was excited to take this class, but upon completion, I can't say that I learned much at all. The course tends to focus on interviews/history of events in synthetic biology without spending nearly enough time on the overarching theme on why they are ethical issues. It's OK to teach the history of the field as a way to better understand the present, but the purpose of learning ethics is so that we can understand how we should handle these issues in the present and the future, which this class seemed to miss. There were also lots of editing mistakes where the professor seemed to pause and readjust herself for a post-edit that never came. In one video, there were two different audio segments that overlapped each other throughout almost the entire lecture. This is not a course I would recommend to anyone.

Quiz 1 is filled with trivia that's not in the lectures and unimportant to the material. All article links are broken and a few videos don't work

I can't pass week one and can't move on.

I can’t leave the class.
