I really enjoyed working with real sequence data and learning coding and tools for bioinformatics. Dr. Taylor gave clear explanations of the theory and is passionate about this approach and helping students to learn coding.

Comment:

Dr. Taylor is a nice, funny, approachable guy. He also seems to be a competent researcher. That being said, he is a terrible teacher. He does not explain things or contextualize things at all. You will be left to teach yourself bioinformatics on your own. You will struggle. This class needs a complete reorganization or a new teacher.
