Week 1 Feedback

Good coverage—make sure to fill out the links in your template, plus include missing requested information like snail mail address and upper division courses. Try to make your wiki change summaries a consistent habit. Also, don’t forget your email of concerns/questions.

Items for completion/follow-up:

• Snail mail address
• Upper-division courses—if you haven’t taken any, still say so explicitly, so that we know you didn’t forget about it.
• Email about worries/concerns/questions/anything else
• Change summaries—you did some, but ideally should have a summary for every change.
• Create a new wiki page
• Link to an assignment (Week n) page
• Link to the shared journal from your user page

Week 1 Follow-up Feedback

Thank you very much for completing the missing information/wiki skills from last week. You’ve improved your wiki summary consistency and have demonstrated all of the basic capabilities now. I just have some constructive comments about a couple of things:

• Some of your links (e.g., your links to the assignments) are actually internal to the wiki and are more succinctly linked with the double-bracket notation, not the single-bracket one that you used where you have to specify the full address (i.e., ...xmlpipedb.cs.lmu.edu...). When a page is wiki-internal, use ''' ''' instead.
• You copied your shared journal answers to separate pages—I’m not sure why you decided to do this. Was it because you wanted to have a direct link? You can still do that in the shared page—if you mouse over your name in the table of contents, the wiki adds a special suffix (beginning with #) that provides a direct link to your entry. You can use that to send the browser directly to your entry. Let me know if this is what you were trying to do.

Good job rounding this out and keep it up!

Week 2 Feedback

• Your Week 2 journal entry was submitted on time and completely correct. Congratulations and keep up the good work!
• The Nirenberg article was written as a memoir to other practicing biochemists, so it is dense. I'm glad that you got a sense of how tough the experiments were. All of what is in textbooks currently was laboriously worked out by someone doing lots of experiments! :)

P.S. I answered your question on my user talk page. — Kdahlquist (talk) 09:18, 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.
• Your sed and match skills are great with the exception of your 3'-5' +2 and +3 reading frame commands—you were eliminating the “skipped” bases before reversing the string and not after.
• For the first match question, you missed writing down your speculative answer on what that GO:... pattern may represent.
• You were missing a number of requested links and wiki elements:
  • Your user page was missing a link to the shared journal page
  • Your user page was also missing a link to the Week 3 assignment page

Please note the bulleted checklist provided under the assignment headings so that you don’t miss these in future assignments. A template will help, so that you will only need to edit these links in one place. Let me know if you need additional help with getting a template to work as needed.

Week 4 Feedback

Thank you for submitting your work on time! Here’s how your “automated annotation” work turned out, item by item. Items that had issues are italicized:

• -35 box was correctly identified with an appropriate command.
• -10 box was correctly identified with an appropriate command.
• Your transcription start site was incorrectly identified.
• Ribosome binding site was correctly identified with an appropriate command.
• Start codon was correctly identified with an appropriate command.
• The given stop codon command did not enforce triplets after the start codon.
• The terminator signal was correctly identified but the given command makes assumptions about exactly how long the terminator is, requiring a priori knowledge that was not part of the consensus information.
• The mRNA strand is incorrect—it is not the entire sequence, and it is complemented when it should not be.
• The correct amino acid sequence was identified but the command that computed it was not provided.

In terms of your wiki link routine, everything was there—keep it up!

Let me know if you have any questions.
