+ | ===== Objectives ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | At the conclusion of this course, participants should be able to: | ||
+ | - recognise current topics and questions in computational biology | ||
+ | - identify relevant scientific publications from citations and electronic databases | ||
+ | - organise and summarise relevant work into a clear, coherent, succinct review article | ||
+ | - provide critical and constructive peer-reviews | ||
+ | - improve their work from the feedback of their colleagues | ||
+ | - collaborate with colleagues from different research disciplines | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Course Format ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Every week (on Friday), students are exposed to recent developments in a different quantitative biology research topic. Each student will write one short literature review, and two reports on other students' manuscripts. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Please refer to the [[Schedule 2018|course schedule]] for the current list of topics. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Most of the topics will be presented by guest lecturers specialists in the relevant subjects. The scientific work reviewed in each class will form the basis of a separate review assignment. | ||
+ | |||
+ | About 75% of the lecture time on Fridays will be devoted to these topical presentations, while 25% will cover material relevant to the processes of the literature search, scientific writing and peer-reviewing. | ||
