Fall 2022 Course
This course will be offered again in in Fall 2022. The course will be somewhat similar to the Spring 2022 course (which you can explore here, including the Syllabus and Schedule, but with some changes based on what we learned last spring and new versions of these will be posted soon.
The Fall 2022 course is scheduled for Tuesdays and Thursdays, 12:30-1:45pm in Olsson Hall 120.

Project Presentations Schedule
Project Presentations Each team will have an opportunity to present your project to the class on either Wednesday, 27 April or Monday, 2 May. You will have 5 minutes maximum for your presentation (which will need to be enforced strictly to be able to complete all the presentations within the schedule class period). It is fine if your presentation is shorter (which might even allow time for questions), but you should keep the time limit in mind in planning your presentation.Class 25: Computational Biology: Ensembles of Trees (Guest: Kristen Naegle)
Slides
Our guest speaker today was Kristen Naegle, Professor of Biomedical Engineering. Her slides are here: Computational Biology: Ensembles of Trees.
