Week 3 Feedback

• Work was submitted on time, with just over a couple hours to spare. This wiggle room is good to maintain in case you experience unexpected delays.
• All good-habit items are fulfilled:
  • All expected links and categories were noted, but the links to the assignment and class journal are incorrect. Make sure that you are using the internal link notation ([[ ]]) for those.
  • You phased your work well and you consistently supplied a change summary with all but the file uploads. Make sure to include summaries with those also—don’t assume that the filenames will explain what they are when someone looks at your contribution history.
  • You accompanied your work with electronic notes and processes.
• All exercises were performed or answered correctly:
  • For the complement, you did not need to reverse the sequence, but I can understand why you thought this would be needed.
  • Your annotated screenshots were very useful! That was certainly going above and beyond the expectation of the assignment, but they contributed very strongly to the presentation of your answers.
• Thank you for your shared responses. Your writing voice struck me as very personal and distinctive. I’m glad to hear that the computer pace has been OK for you; we definitely want to make sure that the material accommodates both first-timers and experienced coders. And yes, I am of the mindset that the robot apocalypse is not as close as some people might think, precisely because I know how dumb computers can still be :)

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; 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.
• Your electronic notebook for this assignment was good, keep up the good work! I'm assuming that doing research with me has taught you some good habits. :)
• You wrote something in the Summary field for 42/43 contributions between the Week 1 and Week 2 deadlines, keep up the good work!
• For each week's assignment, you will need to create links from your User page to that week's assignment and to your individual and shared journal entries, as well as a link back from your individual journal entry and to the category "Journal Entry". You completed all of these for this assignment, but you did them on an "ad hoc" basis. Ideally, you should create all of these links on your template and then just simply invoke your template on your User page and all individual journal entry pages. This will save you considerable work to doing all the links individually.
• With regards to your comments on your shared journal entry, I knew that the Nirenberg article would be difficult for folks, even the biology/biochemistry students. 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 will try to clarify this article in class on Tuesday.

Week 1 Feedback

• I have answered your question on my user talk page.
• Even though the scores have not yet been posted, I want to provide you with feedback on your Week 1 assignment.
• Thank you for submitting your work on time.
• Your assignment is complete with the following exceptions:
  1. You included your e-mail addresses in a way that is not obscured. If you are not worried about bots scraping it from the page and using it to send you spam, you could consider hyperlinking it with a mailto link such as mailto:kwyllie@lion.lmu.edu. However, it is probably best to rewrite it as kwyllie at lion dot lmu dot edu.
  2. Your snail mail address is missing. Please provide the address to your LMU mail box.
  3. You could flesh out your list of presentations from my lab a little more, giving links to the LMU symposium and WCBSURC.
  4. You wrote in the Summary field for 27 out of 29 contributions, or 93%. That is excellent, but remember, we are aiming for 100% of the time.
  5. In terms of headers, you need to go down one more level to a fourth set of "=" signs.
  6. In one of your bulleted lists, you have a stray bullet. This occurs when you skip a level in a sub-list. For example, if you start with ** and don't have an item with a single * above it.
  7. Please change your category to "Journal Entry".
  8. Your wiki signature is missing from the Class Journal Week 1 page.
     • Thus, the link to your user page from the Class Journal is missing as well because that is created automatically when you use your signature.
  9. You should rename your template page to be your username because such a generic name could easily be confused with one of your classmates.
• You will have the opportunity to make up the points you missed by making the corrections listed above by the Week 2 journal deadline.

I just realized that my answer on my talk page was a little messed up because the touchpad on my laptop is very sensitive. I meant, organic chemistry, biochemistry, and invertebrate zoology, although the other answer was funnier. :) — Kdahlquist (talk) 23:13, 10 September 2015 (PDT)
