Week 1 Feedback

You missed quite a few wiki skills and requested information, plus need to send email concerns. If the answer to a question is nothing (e.g., independent research), then explicitly say "none" or "n/a" so that we know it wasn't forgotten.

Items for completion/follow-up:

• Snail mail address
• 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
• Create a new wiki page
• Link to another page within the wiki (other than your user page)
• Link to an external site
• Comments inside the wiki markup
• Upload and link to an image
• Upload and link to a (non-image) file
• Create and use a template
• Link to an assignment (Week n) page

Week 1 Follow-up Feedback

Thank you for filling in the missing information/wiki skills from last week. You have some leftover items, and we encourage you to continue filling those out beyond this assignment—you will find that the practice will only make things easier going forward. Here’s the updated list of what we haven’t seen you do yet. (I left in the ones missing last week, but did them in strikeout style so you can see your progress better)

• Snail mail address
• 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
• Create a new wiki page
• Link to a page within the wiki
• Link to an external site
• Comments inside the wiki markup
• Upload and link to an image
• Upload and link to a (non-image) file
• Create and use a template
• Link to an assignment (Week n) page

So, that’s a good number of things down. Keep up the wiki practice!

Week 2 Feedback

• Your translation of the genetic code was entirely correct. However, you submitted your assignment late. In the future, please make sure that you give yourself enough time to complete the assignment and submit it on time.
• You should remove the "Shared" category from your user page. We are reserving that category for pages with multiple authors, like the Class Journal pages.
• The Nirenberg article was written as a memoir to other practicing biochemists, so it was a bit dense. I'm glad that you enjoyed learning about the process, even if the article itself was tedious.

P.S. I answered your question on my user talk page. — Kdahlquist (talk) 09:20, 12 September 2013 (PDT)

Week 3 Feedback

• Thank you for submitting your assignment on time!
• Good to hear that you succeeded in exerting control of your file extensions.
• You missed supplying an answer for complementing a nucleotide sequence. I combed your notes at the top of the journal answer page and could not find it.
• Your sed and match skills are otherwise great! All of your commands were correct, except that the -F genetic-code.sed segments of your commands should have had a lowercase f. This is not a huge deal, but remember how attention to detail is a very important part of working with computers—if someone who did not know sed tried to type your answers verbatim on the command line, they would get an error.
• Regarding the match question comparing it to grep/wc, in the third subquestion, the distinction we were looking for is the way grep/wc can only count lines, thus missing cases where a pattern appears more than once in a single line.
• Your journal page was missing the requested Journal Entry category. Again falling under the “attention to detail” heading, please note the bulleted checklist provided under the assignment headings.
