Schedule
Quiz 2 was originally scheduled to be October 27, but since we won’t have finished genome editing until later, it is now rescheduled for November 3. (Quiz 3 will also be rescheduled for some later date.)
Project reports are due Monday, 7 November. This should be a complete project report, which will be graded. You will receive feedback on it, and have an opportunity to revise and improve.
