Sequence bioinformatics, UMF018Status: AvslutadÖppen för svar: 2008-12-10 - 2008-12-19 Antal svar: 5 Procent av deltagarna som svarat: ?% Kontaktperson: Graham Kemp»
Your own effort1. How many hours per week did you spend on this course?We mean total time, that is, it comprises the time you spent in class and the time you spent on your own work. Try to estimate the average time over the entire study period.5 svarande
Genomsnitt: 2.2 2. How large part of the teaching offered did you attend?5 svarande
Genomsnitt: 4.8 Goals and goal fulfilmentThe course syllabus states the course goals in terms of learning outcomes, i.e., knowledge, skills and attitudes to be acquired by the student during the course.3. How understandable are the course goals?5 svarande
Genomsnitt: 2.8 - Some general comment about the program organization:
Notice that student enter this course, some doesn"t have programming background, although in the 1st quarter a programming course is provided from biologist. Notice that some students which are from statistics, electrical engineer, and psychology, in the 1st quarter they took biology course not the programming course.
So this should be addressed in the next batch (",)» (The goals give some guidance, but could be clearer) 4. Are the goals reasonable considering your background and the number of credits?Answer this this question and the succeeding one, only if you do know the course goals.4 svarande
Genomsnitt: 2 5. Did the examination assess whether you have reached the goals?4 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3.25 - Just a little hope that this year the examination will not include Perl programming. (",)» (I don"t know/have not been examined yet) Teaching and course administration6. To what extent has the teaching been of help for your learning?5 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3 - As a informatician, I attend this course to gain insight in biological problems, to find gaps that informatics can solve. Of course, I have to learn successes and failures of existing algorithms first to develop a better one. But I found my self at the end know a few of bioinformatics algorithms, but still doesn"t have a clear pictures of how this jigsaws of tools/algorithm come together in the real biological research lab. .. I know how to develop the algorithm, but I don"t know how people will use it.
But the problem might be that, those biology-background students, they know the problem well, and just want to learn more about algorithms.» (Some extent) 7. To what extent has the course literature and other material been of help for your learning?5 svarande
Genomsnitt: 2.8 - I didn"t have the book, but I read the lecture notes for the exam. Some notes are really good, some are bad. Marinas notes need examples and exercises so that you have something to practise on for the exam. The big Perl booklet is very good. Tore"s and Marcelas notes are generelly ok.» (Some extent) 8. How well did the course administration, web page, handouts etc work?5 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3.8 Study climate9. How were the opportunities for asking questions and getting help?5 svarande
Genomsnitt: 4 10. How well has cooperation between you and your fellow students worked?5 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3.2 - Since the project work doesn"t contribute to the final score, I tends to feel that some students in my group doesn"t care much about the project because of this reasons. Group working is obviously preferably since we have to learn how to work with statisticians, biologists, and computer scientists, at this time not after we graduated. But the project score should be introduced, together with individual oral examination on the project subjects, the same like what being done in communication engineering program. Otherwise, the final score of each individual will just depends on the other. Of course, we have to learn how to motivate the others to work, but some people just very hard to be motivated. ,p» (Rather poorly) 11. How was the course workload?5 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3.4 - HMM, should be excluded» (High) 12. How was the total workload this study period?5 svarande
Genomsnitt: 4.6 Summarizing questions13. What is your general impression of the course?5 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3.8 - except HMM.» (Excellent) 14. What should definitely be preserved to next year?- Perl programming part of the course, it was essential for our group projects, as well as useful on its own.»- The classes that we had with Pearl,Molecular phylogeny patterns, databases etc all were fine.But the classes regarding the markov model freaked us out.We needed lab implementation of that or may be some assignments cause we had no practical evvaluation of that at all» - Project works with individual examination more content to cover more aspect of bioinformatics» - every thing except HMM.» - All parts should be kept» 15. What should definitely be changed to next year?- Lectures about HMM should include worked examples related to bioinformatics to make the material easier to understand. We only saw 2-3 examples during the 4 lectures.»- The style of presenting the hidden markov models to us. » - All in all, I believe it"s about program organization. This course might be better make in quarter 3, after biologist learned "algorithm and machine learning" and computer scientist learned "genomics and genetics" in quarter 2.» - HMM should be excluded.» - The Markov lectures are interesting but they are to theoretical. You get "scared" of all the statistics and fail to see the use of it. More calculating examples and more practical applications are needed. It is very hard to study for the Markov part for the exam because of this» 16. Additional comments- I personally believe that most of the students in Bioinformatics program, want to pursue in PhD level. So the course content should prepare us tobe ready for that level. Notice that most of the class comes from Asia which has 4-year undergraduate systems. Thus when it comes to the word "master student", we"re prompt to work hard (",)»- Good course! It"s good that you get the try the "theory" from the lectures on the practicals. Tore"s home assignment are a good alternative to the practicals since they were quite easy. Exam was very relevant for the course, except for maybe the Markov questions»
