BCH441 - Bioinformatics

Welcome to BCH441.


This course is getting ready to be offered in the fall term.
It will be taught online exclusively.

I have been told that ACORN lists BCH441 as an in-person course. This is wrong information. I am working to have this corrected. The correct designation is "Online - Synchronous".

The updated syllabus and marking scheme are almost complete. Contact me by email if you have any questions.
