Assignments and tutorials

Weekly assignments are handed out in class and are posted on this webpage. In the second half of the course, you will work on a project and the resulting code will be the basis of your grade.

We will setup GitHub-classrooms to work with. 

We will discuss how to hand in your first assignment in the lecture on 22.4. Please enroll in the course using Ilias.

Tutorials will start in the week of 29.4.

Project

In the second part of the course you will work on a bioinformatics software project.
