Week 3 Feedback
- Thank you for submitting your shared IMD3 journal page on time!
- Be sure to invoke your template on each individual journal entry, even those that you are doing with a partner. Because the template did not get invoked, you were missing the category for "journal entry" at the bottom of the page.
- In addition, you need to keep up the editing of your template itself. What you are showing there is not quite right.
- Your list of Assignment pages is correct. Currently as of 2/23/24, it only goes through Week 6, which is OK, as long as you add to it each week. If you want to save yourself some time later, you can go ahead and make the list of all assignments for the entire semester and it will be done.
- Your list of Individual Journal Entries needs some editing.
- Because your individual journal entry for week 1 was your user page, you should delete the redlink that is there and substitute a link to your user page.
- Instead of the Week 3 link, you should link to your shared IMD3 journal page instead because that was your journal entry for Week 3.
- Finally, the list of shared class journals in your template has the wrong list of links. This list should go to the class journals, for example Class Journal Week 1, Class Journal Week 2, Class Journal Week 3, etc. Currently your are linking to the assignment pages.
- You wrote something in the summary field for 40/40 edits (100%), this is excellent work!
- All of the requested items for the gene page have been completed.
- I note that your acknowledgments statement and signature were added after the deadline. In the future, remember to include those on time.
- I think that Paul Ford is calling software "nothings" is because they are not physical objects like cars, food, furniture, or even physical art or jewelry.

Week 2 Feedback
- I know that week was tough for you, I appreciate you completing the assignment as soon as you could.
- During the period of review, you made 26 edits to the wiki and wrote something in the summary field 100% of the time. Excellent--keep up the good work!
- Don't forget to invoke your template on each individual journal page so that the required navigation links and category show up on your page.
- All of the requested tasks were completed appropriately, except for the following:
- Electronic Lab Notebook
- Your purpose was stated well.
- Your methods section is very brief. You need to state that you followed the instruction manual, cite it, and list it in the references section of your page. It would be better organized if you explained the method used to complete task 1, give the results of task 1, then methods 2, task results 2, etc.
- The screenshots in your PowerPoint thoroughly documented what you did, but it would have been better to match them up with the methods; it would have been helpful to provide some written descriptions to go along with the screenshots.
- Your conclusion mirrored your purpose.
- You need to include the academic honesty statement in your acknowledgments section and sign it with your wiki signature.
- Your reference section needs to be in APA format. The citation for the Aipotu website needs to have a access date. For the citation of the Week 2 assignment page, it still says "Week 1". Make sure you double-check and update the citation.
- Electronic Lab Notebook
- Make sure you continue to practice your wiki skills. The proper format for including a file in your page is [[Media:Molecular Biology .pptx | screenshots]]. Your links to Dean's and my user pages in your Acknowledgments also could have a visible label to make them look nicer. The syntax to Dean's link is incorrect and it is not showing up as a hyperlink. Always look at your page afterwards to make sure your page is showing up properly.
- In Ode to the Code, he's saying that for natural selection to occur, there must be differences in a trait upon which selection can act. Like white moths vs. black moths. When you think of the genetic code itself as a trait, selection can't act upon the code itself because it's universal (there are no different codes competing with it). Presumably there were different codes early on in the history of life, but the one we have got fixed in the earliest common ancestor of life on earth.

Week 1 Feedback
- Thank you for submitting your assignment on time!
- All of the tasks from the assignment were complete, except for the following which were incomplete or could show some improvement. You will be able to earn back points that you lost by making these corrections by the deadline for the Week 3 assignment.
- Please say something about your future career interests and goals on your user page.
- You have some links at the top of the page that are redundant with links lower down. You should move or remove these to make your page look better.
- I did not receive an email from you about your worries/concerns about the course or if there was anything you wanted me to know. Please send me this email, even if your answers are "no".
- You wrote something in the summary field for 84/105 edits (80%). This is pretty good, but remember, we are aiming for 100%. You made a large number of edits, which tells me that you are working incrementally, which is good.
- You have used the three levels of headings required, but you have an extra "== User Page ==" header near the bottom of the page that should be removed.
- The picture that appears on your page is very large. Check out this help page for ideas on how to resize it so it looks better on your page.
- You uploaded and linked a PDF file on your page. To make the link look better, use the wiki syntax for a label. Instead of using this Horse Riding [[Media:Horse_.pdf]], do [[Media:Horse_.pdf | Horse Riding]].
- In your Acknowledgments section, please include this statement and sign it with your wiki signature.
- "Except for what is noted above, this individual journal entry was completed by me and not copied from another source."
- Don't forget to sign your entry on the shared class journal with your wiki signature.
- I'm glad the Janovy reading inspired you to think of yourself as a biologist!
