The place is TC303. * For the second time, the coding assignment will be arranged on Tuesday 6.4.2010 at 9:00 - 12:00. The place is TC303. There is no need to register to this assignment in beforehand. * For the third (and last) time, the assignment will be arranged on Monday 30.8.2010 at 9:00 - 12:00. The place is TC303. Register to the assignment by sending an email to tommi.aho@tut.fi on Monday 23.8.2010 at latest. * Basic mathematical skills are required but nothing will go deeper into statistics. There will be no tasks which require understanding about biology. * You may use any material you like (printed, electronic, web). Only communication with other people is forbidden. * The assessment is based on (1) the correct result returned by the code, (2) the correct use of specific data structures and functions in tasks where those are asked, (3) clear coding style including enough comments and descriptive names for functions and variables (the code should be easy to read).
