FEEDBACK FROM OUR STUDENTS
I love this class very much. Everybody is so nice. Thank you again for literally everything that Aj and TA taught me. It will change my whole life in term of bioinformatics. I can say that this class worth every penny that I spend. :)
★★★★★
This class had provided me a very great knowledge and experiences on python programming. All the staffs and TA are very nice and caring. This class is the only class that, after finished, I feel that i am entirely more confident on python programming. And I hope that this will be greatly help me for my future researches. Thank you very much :)
