• Why is the Algorithms and Data Structures course helpful for the new CBB students?
    • The philosophy of our MSc is to educate the students broadly, this includes giving them a stepping stone to developing their own algorithms which is surely a direction they could further pursue in the field of computational biology and bioinformatics. Algorithms and Data Structures is a first year computer science bachelor course, taught in the programming language of C++, which can be learned from the lecture series Computer Science (252-0856) - a recommended prerequisite for the data structures & algorithms course-.

  • Can more lectures be recorded?
    • The choice on whether or not to record lectures/tutorials/ and Q&A sessions is up to the individual Professor and cannot be enforced. Some teachers find in person interaction a key component to their lecture, it is therefore important to respect their choice in this regard. Additionally, the ETH rector is strongly promoting a full return to in person lectures as this improves the overall teaching quality and discourages students from overlapping their modules.
