John Smith completed this course, spending 3 hours a week on it and found the course difficulty to be hard.
Extremely interesting course, one of my favorites. Sometimes the content is a bit too detailed, since you are expected to know some particular genes and acronyms. However, it's completely worth it, and the challenge is fun rather than frustrating. -
Tg is taking this course right now, spending 6 hours a week on it and found the course difficulty to be medium.
Best ever ! Interesting updated accessible
Well built examples for all!
Recommend to every student and lab technician. May you return the course to coursera. Since I really want to re enroll
