Questions on Teaching Bioinformatics
Philosophical questions:
What skills do students need? (biology, math, programming, etc.)
When to introduce these concepts to students? In what depth?
Most effective way to team-teach a bioinformatics course?
Who has done this?
What was their experience?
Did the students learn?
How did the instructors work to improve the course?
