Week 6 Feedback

I’ve chosen to issue partial feedback sooner than complete feedback later, in case it will help you address issues with Week 8.

Best Practices

• Individual and shared work were both submitted on time.
• Requisite links to and from the user page as well as page categories are all present.
• Electronic notebook was maintained.
• Work was submitted in appropriate frequencies with corresponding summaries.
• This amounts to a “best practices” perfect score. Good work, keep it up!

Database Exercises

Work in progress.

Week 4 Feedback

• Work was submitted on time, with 22 minutes to spare.
• All good-habit items are largely fulfilled:
  • All expected links and categories were noted—you should consider adding your user page link to your template so that you don’t have to add it to every single journal entry.
  • Electronic notebook content was seen.
  • Summaries were provided for all except 2 of the submitted edits; the overall number of edits itself showed a good pace.
• For the exercises, the following issues were seen; all others were correct:
  • You included grep commands in your answers—these are not necessary because they don’t actually change the text and in fact possibly harmful if they incorrectly filter a line of text.
  • The incorrect start codon was chosen—the one found appears before the ribosome binding site, which is biologically incorrect.
  • The incorrect stop codon was chosen—the answer missed the proper separation of the sequence into codons.
  • Your electronic notebook saved your terminator answer: it had the right command embedded within but your final sequence had a typo.
  • The mRNA sequence was incorrect—it should include the promoter and terminator too, and all of the nucleotides in between.
• Shared responses were provided and they came in on time.

Week 3 Feedback

• Work was submitted past the deadline. Yes, it was only late by 7 seconds, but a lot of exercises were not finished as well. As the tasks get more advanced see what you can do about giving yourself more wiggle room.
• Aside from punctuality most other good-habit items are fulfilled:
  • All expected links and categories were noted; for the link from the journal entry back to the user page, see if you can include that in your template so that you don’t need to repeat it in every assignment submission.
  • You were able to phase your work well, and remembered to supply a change summary to all but one of them.
  • You supplied an electronic lab notebook with the work that you were able to accomplish.
• What follows is my feedback for the answers you provided:
  • Complement is correct.
  • Reading frames +1, +2, and +3 are correct.
  • Reading frames –1, –2, and –3 are almost correct except that their order needs to be reversed due to the 3'-to'5' direction.
  • None of the xmlpipedb-match exercises were accomplished.
  • Please find some available time during my office hours or set an appointment so that we can clarify or address difficulties indicated here, particularly with xmlpipedb-match.
• Thank you for your response in the shared journal—this course is definitely intended to help you understand a bit more about how code and computers get their work done. Maybe not everything all the way down to the circuitry, but at least some text processing and database activity. I also like how you expressed the way good software (and good biology) speaks for itself, regardless of gender. That is an insight that not everyone has yet, unfortunately. But we can all work on it.

  Finally, let’s definitely get you more practice and perhaps some further explanation with regard to coding. In office hours I can potentially also connect some of your prior Visual Basic experience with what you are seeing now.

Week 2 Feedback

• Although, the Week 2 scores have not yet been posted, I want to give you feedback on the assignment that you can incorporate to your your Week 3 submission.
• First, thank you for submitting your assignment on time.
• Your translations of frames +1, +2, -2 and -3 contain "missense" errors (potentially another motivation for the Week 3 homework), and you failed to explicitly note which frames had open reading frames.
• You did not include anything by the way of an electronic notebook for this assignment. Although this assignment was pretty straightforward, you still need to document the process of what you did to arrive at the answers, not just supply the answers. Please be sure to do this for your Week 3 submission.
• You wrote something in the Summary field for 5/5 contributions between the Week 1 and Week 2 deadlines, keep up the good work! However, you completed the full assignment in only 2 edits to the wiki. This suggests a couple of things. First, it seems that you might be doing the work outside of the wiki environment and then pasting it in. If this is the case, you should go ahead and work natively on the wiki. Even if this is not the case, you will want to consider saving your changes more frequently so that the granularity of the changes is smaller.
• For each week's assignment, you will need to create links from your User page to that week's assignment and to your individual and shared journal entries, as well as a link back from your individual journal entry and to the category "Journal Entry".
  • As of the Week 2 journal deadline, you were missing the link from your user page to the Week 2 assignment page.
  • I see that since I last looked at your page, you have created a template that would allow you to fulfill this part of the assignment. Be sure to add the category "Journal Entry" and a link to your User page to your template so that it is complete with all of the required elements.
  • Then you should invoke this template on your User page and on each of your individual journal entry pages for each week.
  • You could even go ahead and create all of your future individual journal entry pages by invoking your template on them and never have to worry about losing points for this part of the assignment again.
  • I see that you have named this template "Template: Pertinent Class Information". This is a very generic name that could be used by any member of the class. It would be better to name this template based on your username.
• I also note that on your shared journal entry, the numbering of your answers is just shown as 1., 1., 1., because you skipped lines in between your "#" elements. For a numbered list to work properly, you cannot skip lines. If you do, it will begin a new list with "1."
• With regards to your comments on your shared journal entry, I knew that the Nirenberg article would be difficult, even for biologists because you don't have the experimental background. However, I also think it's a good exercise to go back to the original source sometimes and read about discoveries from "the horse's mouth" so to speak.

Week 1 Feedback

• I have responded to your question on my user talk page.
• Although we have not yet posted the scores, I want to provide you some feedback on your Week 1 assignment.
• Thank you for submitting your assignment on time.
• Good work in writing something in the Summary field for 21/21 contributions, 100% of the time. Keep it up!
• Your assignment is complete except for the following items:
  1. Please put your full name on your user page, not just your user name.
  2. There is a redlink to a page that doesn't exist called Eyanosch under the heading "Curriculum Vitae" that should be removed, or perhaps you meant to link it to your CV. Either way, you need to remove it or link it to something meaningful.
  3. You included both of your e-mail addresses in a way that is not obscured. If you are not worried about bots scraping it from the page and using it to send you spam, you could consider hyperlinking it with a mailto link such as mailto:eyanosch@lion.lmu.edu. However, it is probably best to rewrite it as eyanosch at lion dot lmu dot edu and similarly for your other account.
  4. Your snail mail address is missing. Please provide the address for your LMU mail box.
  5. Under the Education heading, it looks like your coursework belongs to Fullerton College instead of LMU. To clarify, you should swap those two in your list and provide the date ranges of attendance (your most recent attendance in the case of LMU).
  6. Under Career Interests, you should spell out Physician's Assistant because not everyone may know what PA stands for.
  7. You still need to link to a page within the wiki, although you link to your Template page, you should link to something like the Main Page or the Week 1 assignment page.
  8. You did link to the LMU web site as your external link, but your syntax is incorrect. When linking to an external site, you only need one set of square brackets and you use a space instead of a vertical bar "|" to separate the address from the label. Also, if you want things to appear on separate lines, you actually need to skip a line (two returns) instead of just using one return.
  9. In terms of headings, you should not use the single equals sign level on your page because the convention is that this is only used for the top header on the page for the page name. Thus, you need to go down to four sets of equals signs to create three additional levels of headings.
  10. You have used bulleted lists throughout. Please give an example of a numbered list instead.
  11. In terms of the category, please use "Journal Entry" instead of creating a new category for your name.
  12. You have successfully created and used a template, but the content you have place there is really more of a demonstration than something that will be useful for you later. Check out what some of your classmates have done in terms of creating links on their template that they can use in future assignments. Look at the Week 2 assignment page for suggestions on what you should include in your template.
      • In particular, the link from your user page to the shared class journal is missing. However, if you include this on your template, then the link will always be there whereever you invoke the template.
• You can make up the points you missed on this assignment by making the corrections listed above by the Week 2 journal deadline. In particular, you should correct your template so that you can use it the Week 2 journal and beyond.
