#The assessement
The assessment for this module is a report describing an analysis of data (maximum 1500 words).
A description of what we want to see, and how we will mark the report is [here](http://www-users.york.ac.uk/~dj757/BIO00047I/misc/BIO00047I-report-guide-and-marking-scheme-2020.pdf)

**The assessment deadline for last year was: Thursday 16th of April 2020 at 11am**

##The Google Hangout
We'll provide a link to join the Big Data Biology 2020 Google Hangout later.

This module will use a Google Hangout chatroom to share questions, plots, R code (and sometimes to announce any errors in the website that we find). Some people find the R code useful as a resource. **Use of the Hangout is optional.**

**PS:** As your posts are personal data, we comply with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). You can read about this, and some rules for good conduct [here](http://www-users.york.ac.uk/~dj757/BIO00047I/misc/BIO00047I-GoogleHangout.pdf).

#Workshop material

There are four workhops for this module. You should run though **all of them**. For each one you should:

1. Watch the video run-through
2. Make a genuine attempt at doing the exercises yourself
3. Attend the Zoom session where we talk you though problems

All the workshop material is [here](http://www-users.york.ac.uk/~dj757/BIO00047I/workshops.html).
