Week 3 Feedback

• Everything was turned in on time—good job! You fulfilled most of the “good habit/best practice” aspects of the assignment, except:
  • At the time that I reviewed your user page, your assignment links were restricted to “This Week’s Assignment”—not a bad idea in and of itself, but in the long run it will be more useful to have the full list available. I can see now that you have tried to add it, but at this writing you now have redundant versions, one in your template and another directly in the user page. Try to clean things up. You can keep the “This Week’s Assignment” portion, but make sure to also add the comprehensive list (as you have now started to do).
  • There are 7 listed edits to your journal page, with comments on all of them. Do treat these like commits: fine-grained, always with a message. For an assignment of this size, I think additional saves would have been appropriate.
• You supplied an electronic notebook with this assignment, with your notes being well-integrated with your answers. Keep this up! You provide some good details in the spirit of openness and reproducibility, the values that we are after here. 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, and you never know, we have a high-powered enough animation department that Rick & Morty may well visit someday!
• Your list of links was quite thorough, including the cgi-bin links for the reading frames, which I was hoping that students would catch. In addition…
• …you also realized that the values after seqdna in those links do indeed serve as IDs. You also treated URLS themselves as identifiers (and indeed they are sometimes called URIs as well), which is appropriate here.
• Your curl/sed command is largely on the money except there is a slight typo in the grep portion: You only want a leading space before Frame, but not PRE.
• Your references section is generally right, except that it is formatted like code because there is a leading space before each asterisk. Was that intentional? Either way, I think the references will look better without the leading space.
• Your shared journal answers definitely align with my views and the views of others—to this day I still sometimes miss the occasional important character, and there is truly a need to keep doing what we’re doing in order to stay sharp.

Week 2 Feedback

• Thank you for turning in your assignment on time.
• You wrote something in the summary field for 5 of 5 saves (100%) in the period of review.
• However, the number of total saves is quite small. We are encouraging you to save your work in smaller "chunks"; a range of 10-20 saves is what would have been expected for this assignment.
• Your complementary DNA sequence was correct.
• Your translations were correct.
• Your determination of which frames contained ORFs was correct.
• Please indicate the ends of your protein sequence with "N-ter" and "C-ter", which is what we use to mark the ends of proteins.
• Your User page was missing the link to the Week 2 assignment. Please add those links to your template and invoke your template on both your User page and individual journal entry pages for the future.
• I did not find any electronic lab notebook for this assignment. In this case, the lab notebook 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.
• 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.

I’m happy to report that all requested wiki skills and deliverables were noted and seen to be implemented correctly. We won’t count email misspellings against you 😁
