Any comments, e.g. on specific parts of the course:
The working load wasn't really good distributed. The first lab was extremely hard, at the same time, #4 was really easy. I would rather have other order of labs.
---
It would be nice to have one or two lectures where some usage of modeling tools is presented.
---
I didn't have a proper background in biology.

Any comments on the lectures:
Interesting content but sometimes I felt some more structure would have been advantageous. How does everything go together, what's the big picture?
---
There was a problem with equipment, so the lecturer had to jump everytime to the table and try somehow to turn on the projector with a stick - no remote control switch for turning it on or off.

- 14% (1 st) Too high level, too much or too difficult material.
- 71% (5 st) Good level, adequate and interesting material.
- 0% (0 st) Too low level, too little or too simple material.

same was hard and some was easy, but in average good level.
- How did you find the labs?
- 14% (1 st) Very good.
- 71% (5 st) Good.
- 14% (1 st) OK.
- 0% (0 st) Not so good.
- 0% (0 st) Bad.
- 0% (0 st) Did not do the labs.
- Was the information you needed to complete the labs sufficient? E.g. was the labinstructions and the information given during lectures sufficient?
- 0% (0 st) The information was very good.
- 71% (5 st) The information was good.
- 29% (2 st) Acceptable.
- 0% (0 st) The information was not quite sufficient.
- 0% (0 st) The information was not at all sufficient.
Any comments on the labs:
The labinstructions could have been better. Especially lab1 and lab5. It would also be nice if the files in lab5 would be accessible from Ubuntu without having to log into Solaris.
---
I took a lot of time to find the right info due to a lot of material. I think it should be more than 1.5 credit for the labs and a litle less on the exam.
---
Lab5 is badly instructed. It was difficult understand what should you get as a result of certain lab task. In contrast, lab4 had too much of clarifications.
