Further information

The course BIO4420 will NOT be organized this spring.

Instead, we are strongly recommending all BINF students to take the machine learning course SGN-41007 at TUT in Hervanta (and partly at UTA main campus). This course will automatically replace BIO4420 in the curriculum and your study plan. See the web page at http://www.cs.tut.fi/kurssit/SGN-41007/ for more information. Notice the course start 10.1.2017. Please contact the organiser a.s.a.p. if you still want to join.

 

If we have agreed on a different plan for your personal study plan (PSP) or you have other questions, feel free to contact me by e-mail (juha.kesseli@uta.fi).
