Syllabus

Throughout your major, you have learned foundational biology, chemistry, and computer science. This is a dry-lab course where you learn practical computational techniques and integrate your knowledge. We will use project-based learning, with routine check-ins and technical skill checks that mimic the work of an academic or private-sector career.
