<small>'''This is our main tool to coordinate information, activities and projects in University of Toronto's bioinformatics course BCH441'''. If you are not one of our students, you can still browse this site, however only users with a login  account can edit or contribute or edit material. If you are here because you are interested in general aspects of bioinformatics or computational biology, you may want to review the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioinformatics Wikipedia article on bioinformatics], or visit [http://wikiomics.org/wiki/Main_Page Wikiomics]. Contact boris.steipe(at)utoronto.ca with any questions you may have.</small>

Here are two tasks I would like you to get completed before the next class.<br>
 
 
 
<small>
 
;1. Please subscribe yourself to the '''[[Course Mailing List]]
 
 
 
;2. Please download and install [[VMD]]
 
 
 
(follow the links above for more information).
 
 
 
</small></div>
 
 
 
== Organization ==
 
 
 
;Dates
 
:Monday and Thursday, 12:00 to 13:00
 
:<small>Optional tutorial sessions will be offered as the need arises, most likely on Mondays, probably from 13:00 to 14:00.</small>
 
:First class: Monday, September 8. 2008
 
 
 
;Location
 
:MSB 2173 (Medical Sciences Building)
 
 
 
See the [http://biochemistry.utoronto.ca/undergraduates/courses/BCH441H/ Course Web page] for general information.
 
 
 
 
 
== Grading and Activities ==

I will not adjust marks towards any target average for the class. If your classmate gets a great mark because you helped him with a difficult concept, this will have no bearing whatsoever on your own mark. Collaborate as much as possible, it is a great way to learn. The only times I will consider adjusting marks is if we phrase questions ambiguously on quizzes or if I decide that the final exam was too long.
