Abstract

This paper discusses the results of a survey conducted to evaluate the recently started bioinformatics curriculum at Fort Valley State University (FVSU). Bioinformatics curriculum implementation has been planned to take a three-pronged approach which includes a bioinformatics course, course-embedded modules that can be integrated into selected science courses, and training workshops for faculty and curriculum development. In particular, the bioinformatics course was evaluated for its pre-course preparation, outcomes, difficulty, workload requirement, and pace of covered material. The analysis of the data indicated more than satisfactory results in several sections. Overall 89.3% students evaluated the bioinformatics course as satisfactory. The goal is to seamlessly integrate biological and computer sciences to establish a bioinformatics curriculum that would appeal to both students and faculty of FVSU.
