About the Course

This course distills for you expert knowledge and skills mastered by professionals in Health Big Data Science and Bioinformatics. You will learn exciting facts about the human body biology and chemistry, genetics, and medicine that will be intertwined with the science of Big Data and skills to harness the avalanche of data openly available at your fingertips and which we are just starting to make sense of. We’ll investigate the different steps required to master Big Data analytics on real datasets, including Next Generation Sequencing data, in a healthcare and biological context, from preparing data for analysis to completing the analysis, interpreting the results, visualizing them, and sharing the results. Needless to say, when you master these high-demand skills, you will be well positioned to apply for or move to positions in biomedical data analytics and bioinformatics. No matter what your skill levels are in biomedical or technical areas, you will gain highly valuable new or sharpened skills that will make you stand-out as a professional and want to dive even deeper in biomedical Big Data. It is my hope that this course will spark your interest in the vast possibilities offered by publicly available Big Data to better understand, prevent, and treat diseases....

Very practical and easy to follow. The quizzes definitely help you retain the knowledge from the lectures. The hands-on with Jupyter Notebook was my favourite part of this course! Thank you!

Difficult to understand due to her very strong accent and poor audio, meaning I spend 90% of my effort trying to make out what she's saying. As it turns out, all she does is read from the slides! no additional insight, nothing. This makes it boring to hear and she comes across with no personality (although a quick rate-my-professors search tells us a very different story, a real shame since people seem to really like her). At any rate after one week of this course and not seeing any improvement, I've decided to call it quits.

Poorly organized course. The lectures seemed to jump around from one point to another. In some cases, way too much detail; in others, not nearly enough.

The subtitles have so many errors that they are virtually useless.

El curso te adentra a los conocimientos básicos que uno debe tener para poder trabajar con estadísticas, de forma que comprendas tus resultados bioinformáticos y así saber que métodos poder elegir para ordenar grandes cantidades de datos eficientemente.

Entre lo más destacable están sus "cuadernos", en donde se puede trabajar con R sin necesidad de instalarlo, el cual es de fácil comprensión, y no tienes la necesidad de programar, ya que ese no es el fin de este curso, sin embargo te van explicando paso a paso de las líneas del programa y te entregan material extra en caso de que quieras adentrarte más en la programación.

Los subtitulos al español podrían mejorarse, por lo que no recomiendo tomar el curso a menos que se tenga un nivel de inglés medio para poder comprender las partes que no estan correctamente traducidas.

En general es un curso recomendable para adentrarse en este mundo de la bioinformática.
