Grades updated - clarification | |
Dear students, Just to clarify - in the process of updating a small subset of grades, I uploaded the wrong file, and it made many other grades change. I then uploaded the correct file, with the final corrected grades. So you might have seen 2 changes in the grade. Students who know their grade should have change - should now see the final grade on the site. Students whose grades shouldn't be changed should see their old grade back on the site. Sorry for the confusion. Rachelly. |

Dear students, In the upcoming Monday (January 22nd) each group will meet with its supervisor for the final project. Please find in the site a list of groups and supervisors, along with the meetings schedule and location. The file is under "Course Material/ Final Projects". We would like to remind you that the meetings with the supervisor are *mandatory* for *all* group member, and you will be graded on it (10% of the final grade). You should come with an initial research plan in mind - What is the research question? What is the data you will work on? What tools and methods you will use to answer the question? You should also come with questions to the supervisor (if you have any), and you are welcome to consult with us - this is what the meetings are for. That being said, we *will not* help groups that did no initial planning on their own in advance. The meetings will take place on Monday on the time of the tutorials and on the second hour of the lecture. Some of the meetings were scheduled after the lecture. If any of the groups who were scheduled to meet past the time of the lecture cannot attend, please contact your supervisor to schedule an alternative time. In the first hour of the lecture on Monday you will have an invited lecture from a bioinformatician working in the industry. More details to come! Have a nice weekend, Course staff. |
