Week 1 Feedback

You missed quite a few wiki skills, plus need to post to shared journal, send email concerns, and ask talk page questions. You started nicely with entering wiki change summaries, but petered out with your later changes. Strive to do your summaries consistently.

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
• Questions to faculty Talk pages
• Change summaries—enter these consistently.
• Create a new wiki page
• Link to a page within the wiki
• 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
• Use the signature shortcut
• Create and use a template
• Link to an assignment (Week n) page
• Link to the shared journal from your user page
• Link from the shared journal to your user page
• Place your signature in the shared journal page
• Answer questions on the readings in the shared journal

Week 1 Follow-up Feedback

Thank you for filling in some of 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
• Questions to faculty Talk pages
• Change summaries—you have gotten better with this but still have occasional gaps.
• Create a new wiki page
• Link to a page within the wiki
• 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
• Use the signature shortcut (in the shared journal page—kind of a double-dip; the other signature should be in your questions on our Talk pages)
• Create and use a template
• Link to an assignment (Week n) page
• Link to the shared journal from your user page
• Link from the shared journal to your user page
• Place your signature in the shared journal page
• Answer questions on the readings in the shared journal

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

Week 2 Feedback

• Thank you for submitting your assignment on time!
• As was discussed in class, you had several "mutations" in your translations. You also needed to state which were the open reading frames (without stop codons). Make sure you go to the ExPaSY site to translate your sequence and explain what went wrong.
• You will need to work on completing/correcting the links requested as part of the assignment. Specifically:
  1. We have a specific naming convention that we would like you to use when naming your new individual journal pages. You should name them username week #; for example your week 2 assignment page should be named Mmalefyt Week 2, instead of "Genetic Code". You will need to move the contents of your "Genetic Code" page to a page called "Mmalefyt Week 2". To do so, follow the directions listed here]. We will be happy to talk you through this in class or office hours if you like. For the future, please make sure you are using the preferred naming convention for new pages.
  2. You are missing the link from your User page to the Week 2 Assignment page.
  3. You are missing the link from your individual week 2 journal entry back to your User page.
  4. You are missing the link from your user page to the Class Journal Week 2 page.
  5. You need to add the category "Journal Entry" to your individual week 2 journal entry page.
     • For the four items above, you can add these links to your template and then just use your template on your user page and all journal entry pages. That way, you won't forget to put the links in future assignments.
• You have the opportunity to earn back the points you missed by making the corrections requested on the Week 3 Assignment page and the corrections requested above. The corrections are due by midnight on Friday, September 20 (thursday night/friday morning).
• When Moody was calling the four bases a binary code, he was saying that they could be expressed in binary, not that there were just two. To specify four different bases you would just use:

00
01
10
11

P.S. I answered your question on my user talk page. — Kdahlquist (talk) 09:14, 12 September 2013 (PDT)

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 but no command was supplied.
• -10 box was correctly identified but no command was supplied.
• Transcription start site was correctly identified but no command was supplied.
• Ribosome binding site was correctly identified but no command was supplied.
• Start codon was correctly identified but no command was supplied.
• Stop codon was incorrectly identified because of a miscount in the base triplets.
• The full hairpin structure of the terminator was missed, and no command was supplied.
• The mRNA strand was incorrectly identified, and no command was supplied to indicate how you got this answer.
• The amino acid sequence was incorrectly identified, and no command was supplied to indicate how you got this answer.

In terms of your wiki link routine, your entries in the user and individual assignment pages were missing these items:

• Link from user page to shared journal page.
• Correct page name for individual assignment page. (i.e., the name of the page was incorrect)
• A link from your user page to the Week 4 assignment.
• A link from your individual assignment page back to your user page.
• Category designation for your individual assignment page.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Week 5 Feedback

This is feedback on the Week 5 individual assignment (UniProt Exercise) and shared class reflection. Feedback on your Database wiki page will come later.

• I did not see an entry in the Week 5 shared class reflection.
• Your individual journal entry (UniProt Exercise) was submitted late.
• Your electronic lab notebook did not contain enough detail such that you or another person could reproduce what you did using only the information from your journal entry. Starting again with the Week 8 assignment, keeping an online notebook will be an important part of your weekly assignments. Look at some of your classmates' entries to see some examples and please let us know if you have any questions.
• Remember to link your use page to the assignment page, your journal page back to your user page, and to add the category "Journal Entry". You should add these links to your template and then use your template on each journal page that you complete.
• The name for your journal entry page should be "Mmalefyt Week 5", not "Individual HW week 5". Please correct this moving forward in the class.

Week 5 Database Wiki

• Your assignment is complete, although it looks like some tweaks were made to it after the deadline. From the history, there were equal contributions from each student to this page.
• You need to link from the database wiki page to the Class Journal Week 5 page.
