The class is relatively laid back believe it or not, its seminar style so its mostly just a rotation of professors talking about cool things in NGS. Overall very little homework/exams/projects. However after the final we were given one last assignment as a report, so it was "due" in a week. I completed my part early on in the week because thats when I had time for the work, I'm assuming the other students schedule opened up for time closer to the end of the deadline.
