BINF*6500 PhD Research Writing in Bioinformatics Summer, Fall, and Winter [1.00]
Background literature pertinent to the student's initial research direction is studied. Starting with a reading list provided by the advisor and the instructor, the student builds on this list and constructs a major literature review over two semesters. As the student begins to generate initial ideas for their own research direction, their ideas for their doctoral research are written and explained. The emphasis is on a sub-field or sub-fields of bioinformatics.
Offering(s): Annually
Restriction(s): Restricted to PhD Bioinformatics students.
