• Booklet is useful to check notes and have something to fall back on – 2x
• Presentation, content was good
• Liked the support received during the course during exercises
• Found it best that the course started from the very basics of image analysis which is useful for someone who does not know anything about bio-image analysis – 2x
• Shortcuts shown during the course
• Structure of the course
• Used trial and error as basis before for image analysis, now the concepts are clearer

 

Negative:

• Presentation slides resolution was too small to follow sometimes
• Could have provided a few examples involving z-stacks
• Hands-on was sometimes difficult to keep up with

 

Suggestions:

• Scripting, macro programming – 4x
• Basics of cell profiler (3 users from 14 participants) – 2x
• Python or MATLAB based image analysis course – 2x
• Good practices in bio-image analysis
• More dynamic/fun task after lunch
