 ## Project Ideas
 
 The final project for the course consists of picking a neurobiological system and
-building a model for it.  There is a list of possible projects, expectations for the project and more info at [this link](/courses/syde-750/syde-750-possible-projects.html),

 but is not intended to be comprehensive, so feel free to come up with your own ideas.
