Week 2 Feedback

• Thank you for turning in your assignment on time.
• You wrote something in the summary field for 20 of 51 saves (39%) in the period of review; since you had only received the feedback about frequency after you submmitted this assignment, I am expecting that this number will be improving in subsequent weeks.
• You made 20 saves to your Week 2 journal entry, which is at the high end of the range expected for this assignment.
• Your complementary DNA sequence was correct.
• Your translations were correct.
• Your determination of which frames contained ORFs was correct.
• One correction to your nomenclature: we do not specify the ends of proteins as 5' and 3', that only refers to DNA and RNA. Instead, the ends of proteins are referred to as N-ter (or amino-terminus) and C-ter (or carboxy-terminus).
• For your References section, please provide the full APA citation style for all of your references and be careful to be using the correct link syntax.
• I did not find any electronic lab notebook for this assignment. In this case, the lab notebok would have explained how you arrived at your answers to the questions posed in the exercise. Please be sure to keep your electronic lab notebook for future assignments.
• Actually, the genetic code was cracked closer to 50 years ago--that article is a little dated. The technical language in articles from the primary literature is definitely a hurdle for students (and even for faculty from a different field), but keep with it. Like with other fields of endeavor, it is good to take a look at the primary source.

Week 1 Feedback

• Thank you for completing the assignment on time.
• 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.
  • Please include Biological Databases course you are taking right now as your list of upper division courses (since it is the only one). You could include your other upper divisions if you want since you are neither a biology or computer science major.
  • We did not receive an e-mail from you regarding your worries/concerns or if there was anything else you wanted us to know. Please send us both an e-mail, even if your answer to both questions is “no”.
  • You wrote something in the summary field for 13 of 18 saves, or 72%. We would like to see this approach 100%.
  • We would like you to stay away from using “----“ to create sections on your page, and simply use the header system of ==, ===, ====. The plain line should be used sparingly, for special use cases.
  • Please use either numbered or bulleted lists when you need to make a list. For example, you used “-“ in your Education section. When you use * or #, MediaWiki will use proper indents and align the lines for you. I did not see an actual numbered list on your page.
  • You created your template, and invoked it on your page. However, it seems like you have not added your Week 2 links to the template, but to your user page itself. You should add that information to your template, so that any page where your template is invoked will automatically be updated with that content. The category “Journal Entry” should be added to your template instead for the same reason.
• Including your artwork on the page is great! However, this is a situation where you may want to consider protecting your intellectual property. All content on this wiki is considered to be considered to be released under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike license, which means that someone else can redistribute it without your permission, as long as it is attributed to you. You may or may not want this. We can discuss the implications further if you wish.
• I answered your question on my User talk page.
