Week 2 Feedback

  • Your assignment was substantially late. Please let us know if there are any issues we can help you with in terms of assisting you with submitting your work on time.
  • You wrote something in the summary field for 0 of 3 saves (0%) in the period of review; this is not counting work that was submitted late.
  • You made 9 saves to your Week 2 journal entry, which is barely in the range that would be 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.
  • In your Acknowledgments section, you left out the required statement and your wiki signature (see the Week 1 assignment). This will be required each week.
  • You are also completely missing a References section. This section is also required each week and should, at a minimum, have a correctly formatted citation to that week's assignment (APA format).
  • As of the the Week 2 deadline, you were also missing most of the required links:
    • User to Assignment
    • User to journal entry
    • Category
    • Link from User page to shared journal
    • The signature on your shared journal entry.
      • Make sure that your template is up-to-date with the required links and that you are invoking it on your pages, if you have not already done so.
  • The technical language in articles from the primary literature is definitely a hurdle for students (and even for faculty from a different field). 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:

  • Your user page is missing a snail mail address.
  • I don’t see an email from you regarding worries/concerns or additional information.
  • Your user page was written out in a single save—not a good habit. Treat wiki pages like code: type them a little at a time, saving often and with a summary.
  • There is a difference between internal wiki links (double bracket) and external links (single bracket). All of your wiki links unnecessarily use the external full URL style, and no genuinely external link was noted in your user page.
  • No bulleted list was seen in your submission.
  • A numbered list was seen (in your shared journal response), but the numbers were written out manually. Use the # symbol to signify a numbered list item.

None of these other items were found in your submission:

  • Commented-out content
  • Uploaded and linked image
  • Uploaded and downloadable file
  • Category
  • Template
  • Acknowledgments
  • References

For your shared journal response, the following requested items were not seen:

  • Link to shared response from user page
  • Link to user page from shared response
  • Wiki signature

Please make sure to check off all of the requested items in future assignments more thoroughly. The instructions asked for all of these to be included in your user page and/or shared journal response. Thank you!
