Lab Submission: Submit your completed Jupyter notebook (name it netid.ipynb) on Compass. If your code depends on any files not provided for the lab, then also upload those (in netid.zip file). Be sure to fill in your name + netid at the top of the lab. Do not submit the data sets!

Grading: You will have a weekly quiz on Thursday (except for the first week of class). These quizzes are short (approximately 20 minutes) and are designed to test the concepts you have learned. The quizzes are closed-book and closed-notes. You may bring a ruler. Electronic devices (calculators, cellphones, pagers, laptops, headphones, etc.) are neither necessary nor permitted. The quizzes form 30% of your grade. No collaboration is allowed during the quizzes. The labs will form the remaining 70% of your grade. Each lab will be weighted equally. If you have a request for re-grading, the request must be submitted in writing within a week of the lab being returned to you. It should have a clear explanation of what you would like to be looked at again. Grades will be posted on Compass.

Late Policy: No Late submissions will be graded this year!

There are no exceptions to these policies beyond the standard policies of the university (e.g. disability accomodations, serious illness, etc.). If you need an exception, please contact Prof. Hernaez.

These policies apply only to the “Bio Analytics” section of the course.
