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 of the +1, +2, and +3 reading frames are correct, but your translations of the -1, -2, and -3 frames are not. I suspect that you did not translate 5' to 3' but translated left to right which would have been 3' to 5' on the bottom strand. You will want to make sure you are clear on this as you are heading into the Week 3 assignment. Double check with your partner that you have the orientation correct.
• You did not include anything by the way of an electronic notebook for this assignment. Although this assignment was pretty straightforward, you still need to document the process of what you did to arrive at the answers, not just supply the answers. Please be sure to do this for your Week 3 submission.
• You wrote something in the Summary field for 5/5 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 have set up your template and completed all the links requested.
• 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 folks with 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. I'm glad to hear that you are revisiting the text book to assist you with understanding.

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—with many hours 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 work I don’t think it’s a question of whether you can do it; but overall it is a good habit to treat homework instructions like specs to fulfill. Everything else came in great, and you never forgot to summarize each of your wiki changes! (though you did repeat some messages, I think those were understandable)
