Week 1 Feedback

You missed quite a few wiki skills, plus need to send email concerns and ask talk page questions.

Items for completion/follow-up:

• Snail mail address
• Expected graduation year
• Upper-division courses—if you haven’t taken any, still say so explicitly, so that we know you didn’t forget about it.
• Independent research—if you haven’t done any, still say so explicitly, so that we know you didn’t forget about it.
• Email about worries/concerns/questions/anything else
• Questions to faculty Talk pages
• Create a new wiki page
• Link to an external site
• Create a numbered list
• Comments inside the wiki markup
• Upload and link to an image
• Upload and link to a file
• Assign a category to a page

Week 1 Follow-up Feedback

Thank you very much for catching up on last week’s missing information/wiki skills! You’ve now shown that you can do all of the basics. Please don’t forget to send Dr. Dahlquist and me an email listing your questions and concerns (and say “none” if you have none, just so that we know you didn’t forget).

Some very minor notes on your catch-up work:

• Now that you have made “Loyola Marymount University” a link, the text above it has become redundant and can be removed.
• In linking to your résumé, you use the File: wiki markup, which is fine but takes you to one more intermediate page before the user can actually see the file. If you precede the filename with Media: instead, then you will get a direct link which goes right to the document when the user clicks on it.

Congratulations and keep it up!

Week 2 Feedback

• Thank you for submitting your assignment on time!
• As was discussed in class, there were several mutations in your translation. Make sure you use the ExPaSY tool to translate the code and explain what went wrong with your translation.
• You forgot to put the category "Journal Entry" on your individual entry page.
  • If you add the category to your template and then use your template every time in the future, you won't need to worry about forgetting it.
• You have the opportunity to earn back the points you missed by making the corrections requested on the Week 3 Assignment page and the correction above. The corrections are due by midnight on Friday, September 20 (thursday night/friday morning).
• Yes, the Nirenberg article was dense. It was written as a memoir for other practicing biochemists. I'm glad you were able to grasp the big picture.
