Metabolic Modelling, Spring 09 (4 cr, 2 cu)
Excercise 1
Updated deadline to midnight of Tuesday (24:00 17.3)
The first week exercise is to write a summary about the paper describing the method behind the PathoLogic tool:
The purpose of the summary is to gather the main contents of a scientific article and to summarise it in your own words. The summary should be *2-4 pages* long. You can use additional papers as material, if you like.
The summary should take the form of a scientific article, containing a title, author (that's yourself), an abstract, section headings, and a reference section containing at least the summarized article.
The summaries will be graded, and 0-5 exercise points will be given correspondingly. These point contribute towards the maximum of 20 exercise points available on the course.
Factors that will affect the grade:
- Completeness: the text should contain the main points of the article
- Correctness: these should not be significant factual errors
- Readability: the text should be such that the reader can follow the 'plot' without much difficulty
- Language: there should not be significant grammatical or spelling mistakes.
- Length: please keep in the given length limits 2-4 pages.
- Punctuality: late submitted summaries will get automatically a reduced grade.
DEADLINE: Please submit the summary to Markus Heinonen (mqheinon@cs.helsinki.fi) by 16.00 o'clock on Tuesday 17.3.
