Week 3 Feedback

• Everything was turned in on time—thank you! You also fulfilled the “good habit/best practice” aspects of the assignment, including supplying comments for all 13 of the listed journal edits.
• You supplied an electronic notebook with this assignment, and it provided some good details in the spirit of openness and reproducibility, the values that we are after here. Keep it up, and always keep these questions in mind when journaling: Can someone reading your notebook get a clear understanding of what you did for this assignment? Do they have enough information to replicate the results that you posted on your journal page?
• Your hack-a-page work certainly fulfilled the instructions, with your hacked headline fitting with the background image quite nicely!
• Your list of links was quite thorough, including the cgi-bin links for the reading frames, which I was hoping that students would catch. However…
• …I was also hoping that the values after seqdna in those links would be recognized by students as IDs. You listed element IDs, which are technically correct, but as noted above, there were other IDs on this page beyond those kinds.
• There were a couple of small glitches in your acknowledgments and references: first, the signature should follow your statement about your work in the acknowledgments; in this journal page it appears after the references. And speaking of the references, the assignment reference still says “Week 1” rather than “Week 3.”
• Your shared journal’s chosen quote reflects an unfortunate tendency in computer science, which is the proliferation of jargon. I agree with your sentiments. Here’s hoping that we produce better-trained practitioners who will put more thought into the names that they choose!

Week 1 Feedback

• You completed most of your assignment on time, but we note that you did make some changes after the deadline, including your shared journal assignment and posting questions to myself and Dr. Dionisio’s talk pages.
• You completed all of the required content and skills except for the following list. You have the opportunity to make up the points you have lost on this assignment by completing the changes requested by the Week 3 journal deadline.
  • You included your off-campus residence address on the page to fulfill the requirement for a “snail mail” address. However, to protect your privacy, we suggest that you replace this with the “1 LMU Drive…” general campus address.
  • You wrote something in the summary field for 10 of 13 saves, or 77%. We would like to see this approach 100%.
  • Please create a new wiki page (your Week 2 or Week 3 individual journal page will now fulfill this requirement).
  • Please be careful to use the correct syntax for an internal wiki link versus an external one. Most of your internal links are formatted like external ones. While they do function as links, we would like you to please go back and correct the syntax so that you have practice in learning the MediaWiki syntax.
  • Please provide a link to an external website on your User page. This could be to the LMU home page or to some other organization you wish to highlight, for example.
  • You organized your page using the three levels of headers, ==, ===, and ====, but you need to be careful to use them “in order” in outline form. For example, use === only underneath ==, don’t skip from == to ====.
  • One of the idiosyncrasies of using a numbered list in MediaWiki is that you cannot skip lines in between each line that begins with a “#” because it will restart the numbering from “1” again. Please go back and remove the lines in between, so that the numbered lines appear correctly. You can also make sub-lists by using “**”, “#*”, or “#*”, or “##”. Just make sure that you don’t skip lines in between.
  • You created a link to a file you intended to provide on your page, but the file itself was never uploaded to the wiki. Just like with images, it is a two-step process to upload the file and then to link to it on your page.
  • Please use the category “Journal Entry” instead of the one you used, including it on your template.
  • In a comment, you said you used Eddie Bachoura's page as inspiration. You actually need to say this visibly in your Acknowledgments section; this is the type of thing that we mean needs to go in this section.
• I answered your question on my User talk page.
