BCH441 - Bioinformatics

Welcome to the BCH441 Course Wiki.

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 Wikipedia article on bioinformatics, or visit Wikiomics. Contact boris.steipe(at)utoronto.ca with any questions you may have.


The Course

Assignment 5 has been posted. Due, Monday December 1. This is a complex task that integrates much of what you have done previously and takes you through some pretty advanced analysis. Enjoy.

Organization

Dates
Monday and Thursday, 12:00 to 13:00
Optional tutorial sessions will be offered as the need arises, most likely on Mondays, probably from 13:00 to 14:00.
First class: Monday, September 8. 2008
Location
MSB 2173 (Medical Sciences Building)

See the Course Web page for general information.

We are recommending Understanding Bioinformatics, Zvelebil & Baum, Garland 2008 as a background textbook for the course. (amazon, UofT Bookstore)

Grading and Activities

Activity Weight
(Undergraduates)		 Weight
(Graduates)
5 Assignments (drop 1) 16 marks (4 x 4) 12 marks (4 x 3)
5 In-class quizzes (drop 1) 32 marks (4 x 8) 20 marks (4 x 5)
Group project 10 marks 6 marks
Participation 2 marks 2 marks
Graduate project   20 marks
Final exam 40 marks 40 marks
Total 100 marks 100 marks

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.

This is the current schedule for 2008, but changes may be still be made if required.
