Homework:

Weekly homework will consist of online knowledge assessment quizzes and application assignments (a.k.a. “hands-on lab sections” and/or “mini projects”) together with pre-class reading and video screen-casts.

Generally for each class you will submit your completed lab reports or mini-projects as PDFs to GradeScope and complete a GoogleForm based quiz.

Specific grading criteria (assessment rubrics) for each homework will be given at the time of assignment. Weekly grades will be posted online to the class class GradeBook. Each student is responsible for checking to ensure that a grade has been entered for their submissions. Documents submitted by email do not always arrive at their intended destination and late submissions will not be accepted after one week past the original due date. Collectively homework performance will account for 65% of the course grade.

Find a gene project assignment:

A total of 35% of the course grade will be assigned based on the“find-a-gene project assignment”. The purpose of this project assignment is for you to grasp the principles of database searching, sequence analysis, functional annotation and exploratory data analysis with R that we cover in the course

• Mid term example assignment instructions (PDF).

Final Exam:

There will be NO final exam for the Winter 2022 quarter.
