Week 2 Feedback

• Your turned in most of your assignment on time, but the category was added late. Please add the category to your template, if you haven't already. In the future, you will have taken care of this part of the assignment automatically by invoking your template on your journal entry page.
• You wrote something in the summary field for 10 of 16 saves (63%) 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.
• However, the number of total saves to your Week 2 journal entry is quite small (4). 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 translations were correct.
• Your determination of which frames contained ORFs was correct.
• However, you did not actually give the complementary DNA sequence, as requested. Instead, you converted the T's to U's to make an RNA sequence. Be careful to follow the directions and give what is asked for.
• Also, we do not use 5' and 3' to mark the ends of protein sequences. Instead, we use N-ter and C-ter.
• 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.
• In your Acknowledgments section, you left out the required statement (see the Week 1 assignment) and your wiki signature. This will be required each week.
• 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. Instead of just relying on your memory for terminology, you can always look something up online or in a text book or dictionary. I have to do that myself when I am reading something from a different field.

Week 1 Feedback

Thank you for submitting your work on time. Your Week 1 work has been reviewed, and the following points of improvement have been identified. Other than these items, your wiki skills and deliverables checked out OK:

• 19 edits were made to your user page—a good, gradual pace—but 3 of those were missing a summary message. Please strive to provide a summary all the time, no matter how small the change might be.
• Three levels of headings were requested, but only two were noted in your submission.

For your shared journal response, all requested items were noted. Thank you for answering the questions!
