Considerations before enrolling in Bioinformatics: https://darwin.uvigo.es/docencia/binf2223/matricula.html
This subject is almost entirely problem-solving based. That is, you will have to rack your brain. Be prepared to solve a Sudoku every day. It takes a continuous effort of several hours throughout the weeks of the course. Learning is sequential and each new step depends on the previous ones, much like mathematics in that sense. You will have to work a lot on your own, repeating tasks and checking solutions. We have 100 non face-to-face hours available, and you will have to use them. It is an intense subject, so be warned.
No prior knowledge of any programming language is required to take this course, but basic knowledge of the use of computer tools (e.g., operating a laptop; opening and closing programs; accessing the internet) is required.
