Course Details

The BCB 691 Faculty Seminar series serves two purposes:

1) to introduce new BCB students to examples of research rotation/exploration opportunities available in BCB research groups
2) to provide all BCB students with an overview of active research areas in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology at ISU

Course Website: http://www.bcb.iastate.edu/courses/BCB691-F2008.htm

Requirements: Attendance and participation. Each student is allowed one "excused absence" (missed due to conference attendance, illness, family obligation, etc.) and one "unexcused absence" (rather eat lunch, whatever...). Students who exceed these limits and wish to pass the course will be expected to perform makeup work (see class schedule for Dec. 2 and 9).
