waciumawanjohi commented 3 years ago

In order to maintain this curriculum, OSSU should identify a curricular guideline. Such a document can aid in comparing different course offerings and guide conversations about coverage and rigor.

The International Society for Computational Biology has a task force to create such guidelines. That work can be found here:

See https://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/article?id=10.1371/journal.pcbi.1003496 for the first efforts towards creating a standardized curriculum. The paper is available there and can be downloaded as a PDF as well. Focus on Figure 1 for a generic overview of what the group is trying to accomplish.
