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.
  • Almost all requisite links to and from the user page as well as page categories are present, except:
    • Your signature in the shared journal, and thus a link back to the user page, was missed this time around.
  • Electronic notebook was maintained.
  • Work was submitted in appropriate frequencies with corresponding summaries.

Database Exercises

Work in progress.

Week 4 Feedback

  • Work was submitted on time.
  • All good-habit items are fulfilled:
    • All expected links and categories were noted.
    • Electronic notebook content was seen.
    • Summaries were consistently provided over a good number of edits.
  • For the exercises, the following issues were seen; all others were correct:
    • You were off by one nucleotide on the transcription start site.
    • Because the transcription start site was off by one nucleotide, then the mRNA sequence was off by that single base as well.
  • Shared responses were provided and they came in on time.

Week 3 Feedback

  • Work was submitted on time—and then some. Everything was finished by September 17…that is some serious time management mojo.
  • All good-habit items are fulfilled:
    • All expected links and categories were noted.
    • You were able to phase your work well, and consistently supplied a change summary to all of them.
    • You accompanied your work with electronic notes and processes.
  • All exercises were performed or answered correctly.
  • Thank you for your frank shared responses. Your favorite quote was shared by Mary and Anu—that was fun to see. Your honesty about inappropriate comments is noted; these are certainly not desirable and remains an area for further work and dialog.

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 (by several days!).
  • Your translations are correct.
  • 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.ease be sure to do this for your Week 3 submission.
  • You wrote something in the Summary field for 14/14 contributions between the Week 1 and Week 2 deadlines, keep up the good work! However, you completed the full assignment in only 5 edits to the wiki. This suggests that you are doing the work outside the wiki and then pasting it in. Ideally, you should do the work natively in the wiki environment. 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.
  • You completed all of the links requested via your template.
  • I knew that the Nirenberg article would be difficult for folks both with and without a biology background. However, as you know from my previous classes, 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.

Nicole, I saw your question. Do you mean that I have made myself or that has happened in the last decade or so? --- Kdahlquist (talk) 15:23, 3 September 2015 (PDT)

OK, I did answer your question--hopefully, it isn't too waffley. Kdahlquist (talk) 23:02, 10 September 2015 (PDT)

Week 1 Feedback

  • I answered your question on my User talk page.
  • The scores have not been posted yet, but I wanted to give you feedback on your Week 1 Assignment.
  • You did everything on time—with days to spare, in fact. You actually initiated many of the common parts of this assignment (shared journal, our talk pages). Good job, keep it up!
  • Your assignment is complete except for a couple of details: you did not explicitly state your career interests and goals, and you only used 2 heading levels and not 3. I don’t think it’s a question of whether you can do these (and for career interests and goals, I’m pretty sure I know what those are, :) ); but overall it is a good habit to treat homework instructions like specs to fulfill. Everything else came in great, and you never forgot to summarize each of your wiki changes!
