Technical problems with the computes will not come on the expense of your time. Exam – Technical Issues

7. 14.7 Material of the exam: everything, except Bio::SearchIO (Blast), in particular anything that we practiced either at class or in the home assignments. About 85%-90% in the difficulty level as class exercises and "non *" questions from home assignments; 10%-15% will be in the level of * questions of the home exercises (in class exercises we often add *, not for their complexity, but for being time consuming). You will not be asked on material not presented on the course presentations. Let's look at last year's exam…last year's exam Exam – Material
