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.
Your translations are correct.
As for your electronic notebook, you did include some general notes on the procedure. However, your notebook needs to be a little more "personal" describing your exact thought process in how you arrived at the answers. Please be sure to do this for your Week 3 submission.
You wrote something in the Summary field for 4/4 contributions between the Week 1 and Week 2 deadlines, keep up the good work! However, you completed the assignment with just 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 have 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 folks with 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.

The scores have not been posted yet, but I wanted to give you feedback on your Week 1 Assignment.
You did everything on time—with almost a full day to spare, in fact. Good job, keep it up!
Your assignment is complete except for one small detail: you only used 2 heading levels and not 3. Based on your overall submission I don’t think it’s a question of whether you can do it; but in general it is a good habit to treat homework instructions like specifications or a lab protocol to fulfill precisely. Everything else came in great, and you remembered to summarize your wiki changes all but twice (out of 23). Well done!
