Any comments, e.g. on specific parts of the course:
With the labs done in time, it wasn't particularly hard to get a good note on the exam.
---
The most difficult parts were in my opinion "Calcium dynamics" and "The cable equations" because I didn't work on them in the labs. The labs were very helpful to understand the topics.
Any comments, e.g. on specific parts of the course that are missing or could be excluded:
There shouldn't be spent so much effort in team building, conflict handling, etc.
---
It was definitely interesting, but at the end, I feel that it would have been better to get 1,5-2,5 times more knowledge/information on the lectures.
Any comments, e.g. on specific parts of the course:
Congratulations to the programme designers, it was a terrific feeling to recognize almost every lecture theme from the lecture in "Intro to Biomedicine" before or right after.
---
it was not enough to understand deeply each content
Any comments on the book (write first Course pile, JW or Fall):
I liked the book of GENESIS the most, right after Västergård's parts in the kursbunten.
Any comments on the other course material:
You can get everything sufficiently explained but not boring, and you always have the possibility to get more information from the sources provided.
---
i think it is a collection of material not linked and not very didactic
Any comments on the lectures:
The speaker spoke a bit slow, and not too eventful. It was probably because of the unceratin level of understanding on the other side, but there must be a way to get more feedback during the course. It was hard to keep the attention level up.
---
The content explained was clear, but a big amount of content was not explained. I would have doubled the number of lectures!
---
More examples, often it was just some formulas
---
I think there was too much focus on team work. It would have been better if a greater part of the lectures had been about bio modelling.
Any comments on the level of the lectures:
I found the lectures a bit slow, and not too informative. Medium amount of information was provided in long time instead of Much information in long time well assessed. I felt that I wanted to know more about each subject, and that attending a particular lecture didn't give much more then the slides/kursbunt. A few practical and interesting examples were mentioned, but we could have taken a lot more. Also one or two extra labs/lectures could have been added for practicing the practical parts of the test.
---
I would have avoided to use so much time to explain the principles of group work and use it to explain more deeply the content. Only a personal preference..
Any comments on the labs:
The labs are oriented on the topics covered in the lectures, but the instructions are quite confusing sometimes - especially in lab 5.
---
The labs were sometimes hard, we often got stuck. We ended up reading the same two-three sentences in the kursbunt, because there were a lot of interesting questions, which were not mentioned anywhere, or which weren't exactly clear, wherefrom we should get the information. If we had had a bit more to read, it would have been easier.
The later labs were maybe too easy to solve, the biggest problem was that you didnt have to understand WHAT you were doing in the bioinformatics, you just could do the informatics part, and get through.
I liked the review sessions though, a lot of dizzy questions got cleared up, I might have learnt more on those, then during the labs themselves.
---
Sometimes it would be better to have a scheduled labs session with an assistant instead of booking a 'lab help'.. or maybe it would have been enough to read the labs together during the lecture to make some things more clear.
---
The lab instructions for lab 5 were quite bad. I did the lab, but didn't understand much, it felt a bit pointless.
Any comments on the project:
A good and interesting course. It feels like a good base and introduction to biomodelling, but I suppose the aim would be to give me more then just introduction. If not, then it definitely awakes one's apetite.
---
i think is a very important course, but i don't see specifically where the "mathematical" part is..further, lots of previous knowledge is required. i suggest to spend more time introducing the topic dealt with..maybe improving the slides used during the lectures.
---
I wish there would have been more opportunities to ask questions about the labs. There were often a lot of people wanting to discuss the labs with Erik during the lecture break so there wasn't always that much time and the booking system wasn't very smooth. We never used it.
---
I'm quite happy with this course. I would just add a comment regarding the solutions of the exams. They are confusing sometimes and even wrong few little.
thank you for having asked to fill it!
