Schedule

This is a tentative schedule and is subject to change as necessary. To gain institutional access to weekly research papers, please ensure that you are logged into through the Dartmouth VPN.

Many class periods will include presentation and discussion of two seminal research papers on various Data Science for Health topics from the reading list below. Guidelines for the research paper presentations can be found on the here.

In this course, we will use the x-hour period as a working session/office hours. This is optional but encouraged because it provides a standing time for every group to meet to work on their course project weekly.
