The course was a beautiful clear Introduction to a course that is usually complex for me. Working under a linux environment was always a challenge but am liking it so much. Use of R and ggplot2 on presentation of data has really made develop great presentations. Thank you so much to the organisers Team. I thought it was a very nice introduction to Bioinformatics and it made me realise how much work there is behind it. Some of the Bash Scripting is still a little to confusing to me, but now I at least know the basics of it. I will hopefully be able to adapt some of the methodes I learned in this 3 weeks for my own work. It was an interesting and useful course,initely making example of a good level, particularly the explanation of how to use R program. To be clear, the how to use R is very helpful. The course is excellent level, I am extremely grateful for the opportunity I had to take the course, as I learned very valuable knowledge for my academic and professional development. It far exceed my previous expectations. I believe the structure of the course was correct, it progressed from the most basic to the most complex, in an orderly and simple way to follow. The didactic was also wonderful, the explanations
