<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://www.openwetware.org/wiki/Wikiomics Wikiomics].

I will not adjust marks towards a target average for the class ("Belling"). 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.
