For such courses with huge amount of curriculum better to let us students use written material and book during the exam.
Man lærer mye grunnforståelse om bioinformatikk som er viktig om man går den retningen på mastergraden.
Syntes hjemmeeksamen og avsluttende eksamen var veldig greie å jobbe med. Avsluttende eksamen hadde litt høyere nivå enn midtveiseksamen - noe som er viktig.
