Assessment of Project

In terms of individual roles, every group member was fairly competent when completing his or her own tasks. However, things did not work out as smoothly when the project had to come together. While each group member had an idea of what the other roles were responsible for, the specific procedures and details were only known by the people who were assigned to the task. This made it slightly difficult in coordinating overall efforts. If this project were to be repeated, it would be more ideal if the roles were less program specific and team members shared more duties. This is not to say that there was an inordinate distribution of work, but that the work flow may have been better if everyone worked at the same pace.

In terms of quality,a lot of the results were actually skewed due to oversights. This oversight led to a highly exaggerated error report which was only caught after the presentation. These corrections are reflected in the final report. As of organization, the wiki page is somewhat cluttered. This is simply due to the massive amount of content that is related to the project. The wiki is still navigable. All of the project content is present, just difficult to find. This has been a common issue with the group where all members will have their respective content, but will have a difficult time in linking the content together. The project was partially completed. With the NaCl dataset, a successful gene database was produced. For the sucrose dataset, there were several issues with the data itself which caused a delay for several days. Thus, the gene database that was exported was done at last minute and contained an exceptional amount of errors.

Reflection of Process

I learned a lot about wiki interface that I did not know about before. I also have had a small taste of coding from the Gene ID project. I learned that about the importance of communication between team members. In terms of technical skills, I have become slightly more proficient with computer interface. Interms of what I will be doing a year from now, I am sure that the wiki skill I learned will come in handy.
