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)
