Week 2 Feedback

• Although, the Week 2 scores have not yet been posted, I want to give you feedback on the assignment that you can incorporate to your your Week 3 submission.
• First, thank you for submitting your assignment on time (by a day!).
• Your translations are correct; although it would have been better for completeness to go ahead and translate the rest of the sequence after the stop codon, in this case.
• I see that you have moved your electronic notebook from your user page to your individual journal page and that is cleared up for assignments going forward. Your notes are very thorough, I only have a suggestion in terms of style. This is essentially a "Methods" section. It is customary in Methods sections to use the past tense because this is what you did. I is OK and preferable to say "I did this...I did that" instead of trying to be impersonal about it.
• You wrote something in the Summary field for 6/6 contributions between the Week 1 and Week 2 deadlines, keep up the good work! However, you completed the full assignment in only 3 edits to the wiki. This suggests that you are doing the work outside the wiki and then pasting it in. Ideally, you should do the work natively in the wiki environment. Even if this is not the case, you will want to consider saving your changes more frequently so that the granularity of the changes is smaller.
• You completed all of the links requested via your template.
• With regards to your comments on your shared journal entry, I knew that the Nirenberg article would be difficult for folks without a biology background, and even for those who do have a biology background. However, I also think it's a good exercise to go back to the original source sometimes and read about discoveries from "the horse's mouth" so to speak.

I forgot to add one more note to the Week 2 feedback...

• Do not pair the two mRNAs that you created as intermediates to your translation. Listing them on top of one another like that makes them look paired and they would never appear that way in the cell (most of the time only one strand of the DNA is even transcribed.).

This is a test edit for the talk page. The signature was accessed by typed four tildas following 3 dashes.

Week 1 Feedback

• I answered your question on my User talk page.
• The scores have not been posted yet, but I wanted to give you feedback on your Week 1 Assignment.
• You did everything on time—though you did cut it a little close :) Monitor the timing as the assignments advance.
• Your assignment is complete in terms of content. Out of 27 individual wiki contributions, you supplied a change summary to all but 3 of them. See if you can train yourself into a 100% habit.
• Overall, great job! I particularly found your answer on Coordination to be particularly resonant and well-applied to a “non-computer-science-y” context.
