    Grading

    Problem sets: There will be two problem sets, each of which is expected to take you several hours of work. These problem sets are intended to give you hands on experience with the work of computational biology, and should be learning experiences as well as evaluation tools. The bulk of these problem sets will involve going to various web sites and doing things.

    Problem sets

    Problem sets and solutions will be posted here.

    Problem Set 1

    Problem Set 2

    PS 1 Solutions

    PS 2 Solutions

    You should create your own CAB student's web site to submit your solutions for these problem sets.

    Midterm

    Midterm:  There will be an in-class Midterm exam on May 1, and it will be worth four problem sets.

    Final

    Final:  There will be an in-class final exam on June 26, and it will be worth four problem sets.
