Week 1 Feedback

Great coverage! You missed just a few items. Make sure to do them to cover all the bases.

Items for completion/follow-up:

• Create a new wiki page
• Link to an external site
• Comments inside the wiki markup
• Upload and link to an image
• Upload and link to a file
• Link to an assignment (Week n) page

Week 1 Follow-up Feedback

Thank you for filling in the missing wiki skills from last week! You missed that last one, “link to an assignment (Week n) page.” You will find that having this link will become very convenient, particularly if you want to go back and forth between the assignment page itself and your answers.

Week 2 Journal Feedback

• Your journal assignment was partially late this week. You will be understandably busy this next week, but hopefully you will be able to get back on track submitting your assignments on time soon.
• Your translation had point mutations in frames +1 and +3; you had a deletion in frame -2; you did not continue your translation beyond the stop codons. The +3 frame did not have an open reading frame. You have the opportunity to earn back the points you missed this week by making the corrections requested on the Week 3 Assignment page and the corrections listed below. The corrections are due by midnight on Friday, September 20 (thursday night/friday morning).
• You are also missing some links on your pages. Specifically:
  1. You need to link from your user page to the Week 2 Assignment page.
  2. You need to link from your individual journal entry back to your user page.
  3. You need to include the category "Journal Entry" on your individual journal page.
     • You can easily make the corrections above by adding them to your template and then using your template on your user and individual journal entry pages, for this week and all future weeks.
• Yes, the Nirenberg article was quite dense, but I'm glad you enjoyed it anyway!
• I answered your question on my user talk page.

Week 3 Feedback

• Thank you for submitting your assignment by the deadline that you set for yourself!
• Good to hear that you succeeded in exerting control of your file extensions.
• Your sed skills need some practice and review—understandably so because of missed classes. Let’s see if we can catch you up with some face-to-face time when you are back:
  • The complement command only works for a very specific nucleotide sequence, and not over all bases in general.
  • Your +1 reading frame came out right, but +2 and +3 incorrectly performed the initial “chopping” of the first and first two bases, respectively. You weren’t deleting the bases outright, but replacing them with spaces. Unfortunately, the . placeholder also matches with spaces, and so you end up with incorrect triplets.
  • For the -1, -2, and -3 reading frames, the command sequences you provided also contain the error in the above bullet, plus are missing the complement step.
• Your match and grep/wc results are completely on the money!
• 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.

Makeup Point Update

You have been credited for making the following change(s) to an assignment or wiki link checklist:

• Corrections to your +2, +3, -1, -2, and -3 reading frames. The -3 reading frame command has a typo, however: the “chopoff” sed command is missing a ^ in its match pattern.
• The link from your user page to the Week 3 shared journal page has been added.
• The link from your user page to the Week 3 assignment page has been added.

If you have any questions, let me know. Thank you!
