Sticky Note Feedback

Leighton Pritchard edited this page Mar 8, 2018 · 2 revisions

Day 1

Red Stickies

  • stickier sticky notes
  • personally have no background experience in bioinformatics, so find the different programs a lot to grasp
  • very fast paced, it was sometimes difficult to catch up if you fell behind or got stuck at any point
  • would like a chemoinformatics section, dealing with molecular features, mass spec, etc
  • a bit too fast at times, and hard to catch up if something goes wrong, however help was provided and everything was fine at the end
  • length and duration of the course
  • scrolled away from completed equations too fast, pacing was fine but unable to correct in time
  • I know today was more sort of fundamental, but it would be motivating to learn using real life challenges that is very hard to tackle without programming. Otherwise, thanks!
  • didn't follow most of the afternoon session because my computer configuration, but that's my problem not yours

Green Stickies

  • very clear instructions and well-structured
  • basic concepts well explained which makes understanding easier
  • very helpful when we got lost/stuck
  • very knowledgeable
  • enjoyed the level of interaction/exercises to complete, allowed us to test it
  • course material well laid out and easy to follow, good support from instructors
  • explanation of syntax in jupyter notebook
  • like the interactive notes and examples
  • the use of 2 different skills in one (DNA and genome with coding and some languages) to get different graphs and outputs
  • demonstrated wide range of potential uses
  • amount of great useful material! thanks
  • I was amazed at what jupyter can do; learned about biological modules in Python

Day 2

Red Stickies

  • I know it would cost much time, but it would be great if you can explain more about the data structure used in our analysis
  • HELP! (maybe for green sticky?) (on reverse) Pace was fast, it was sometimes difficult to keep up with typing commands and listen to what the commands do.
  • nothing to suggest
  • maybe some more introduction for some who has basic knowledge and the reason why these things are available
  • protein modelling, especially de novo, was quite useless in terms of time spent and value that we get
  • during the morning session, at some point I lost a bit the plot on what we were doing or why (the reason behind each task)
  • provide links explaining different syntax to be reviewed before the notebook building exercise
  • I thought that the proteins section could have been shorter. As it was much easier to follow due to no typing of code whereas other sections were skipped/went quick so more time could be allocated here

Green Stickies

  • I liked going through the code step by step as I often find it difficult to identify the reason for particular parts of the code
  • the access to different websites and packages for the protein sequence
  • a good pace of work (not too fast)
  • working through creating notebook on Jupyter
  • very helpful, any time people needed help. Quite funny and easy going!
  • idea of having some pre-course homework to ensure familiarity with some of the programming language or programs was suggested - I think this would be a great idea
  • the step-by-step lipase investigation was quite amazing and informative
  • first part of the session was very useful. M6(?) set a goal at the start.
