Course Objectives & Description

Bioinformatics course contains introductory information in how to process biological data using computers.

The first part of the course taught by Dougu Nam covers the basic computational methods used for biological data analysis. During the class, students will learn the concepts by short lectures and hands-on experiences. So, please bring a laptop computer to the class from the second week.

 

The second part of the course taught by Jong Bhak will focus on:

1)     What Bioinformatics is

2)     How to independently read research papers

3)     How to critically analyze research papers and topics

4)     How to choose a research topic in bioinformatics and design an experiment and perform research

5)     How to write research report(paper) to make the results known to the public.

6)     The course will be done through active action-oriented learning method(AAO)

7)     Students are required to motivate themselves and bring their research topics after reading research papers.
