Introduction to Bioinformatics Course at a Glance: Grading

Spring 2007

Problem Sets Study Questions	Problem sets and study questions lie at the heart of this course. Much time will be spent in class on them, and I expect that you'll spend even more time out of class. I encourage you to hand in your responses to problem sets, particularly to those questions you're unsure about. But problem sets will not be graded (but see discussion of exams).
Exams	Each exam counts equally.
Research Project	The research project, including the final symposium presentation, will count a lot.
Mentoring Project	The mentoring project will be evaluated in a way still to be determined. On-line logs will be an important component.
Attendance	Come and go as you think best.
Class Discussion	Discussion is important to make this course work, but only you can decide how fired up you are to participate.
Final Grade	Based on a qualitative assessment of the whole.
