Week 11 Team Page Feedback (to address in Week 12)

Your team page hit the specifically-requested items listed in the Week 11 assignment, although the team template Template:Gene hAPI is somewhat underpopulated—continue reading to get further ideas on what can go there.

For Week 12, let’s focus on the stated overall purpose of these pages: “This page will be the main place from which your team project will be managed. Include all of the information/links that you think will be useful for your team to organize your work and communicate with each other and with the instructors. Hint: the kinds of things that are on your own User pages and on the course Main page can be used as a guide.”

Considering that purpose (and hint), you will also want to include the following on your team page. Imagine yourselves in deep work mode, with your team page open in a window. What information, links, and resources will you want to have available on that page at all times? Here are a few items:

• A projected schedule with due dates (both for milestones already defined in the guild pages and for internal accomplishments that your team determines) and meeting times. You can cross off these dates and times as your team makes progress using the s tag (strikeout).
• Communication resources (e.g., additional channels like Slack; GitHub issues; the discussion “side” of various wiki pages; etc.) that your team can use to coordinate when not face-to-face
• A section with links to uploaded files, particularly for use by data analysts but really for any member of the team; this can also include a link to your GitHub branch and the project’s fork
• Additional useful links—what links would be useful to always have there so that you can just click to visit them, minimizing typing? (for example, Template:GRNsight Gene Page Project Links has already been created for you—won’t that be useful to have on your page as well?)

Note how these items are very similar to the content that can be seen on our own Main Page—this is not a coincidence.

I also want to note that Eddie did not sign his executive summary/reflection with his wiki signature. The citations in you annotated bibliography should also be added to your team page.

Week 11 Feedback

• These "good habit" items were not met in this submission:
  • Punctuality: last edit at 12:08am 11/14.
  • No electronic laboratory notebook—note that we have consistently used the term “laboratory notebook” this semester to represent documentation of your process for the week, distinct from the week’s deliverables. No such narrative could be found in the journal entry.
• Design or development term notes
  • The reference for plug-in is a tertiary-source Wikipedia article.
  • The PostgreSQL link is a 404.
• Article outline notes
  • Outline was 1 page long in print preview.

Week 9 Feedback

• The “good habit” aspects of your individual journal are mostly fulfilled except:
  • Acknowledgments/signature and references were added 3-7 days late.
  • The references list only includes the Week 9 assignment; this particular assignment references API documentation as well, at the very least.
• The electronic notebook is in brief narrative form but does convey the process of arriving at the API calls.
• GRNsight testing is complete with clear feedback on the results.
• The provided bash script specifies the instructions for arriving at the gene data, including the portions that get substituted based on the desired gene and the final URL that yields the gene data from the assigned source.

Shared Journal

Questions and “good habit” aspects are all fulfilled, all on-time. Favorite pages are stated alongside the reasons for these preferences.

Week 7 Feedback

• The “good habit” aspects of your individual journal are mostly on point except that the electronic notebook is somewhat short on detail (though the brevity is explained with a candidness that is noted). The reference list is thorough.
• Nearly all prior web page issues were addressed except:
  • Title tag was not modified to match gene.
  • Although the UniProt ID was fixed, its label wasn’t: the UniProt ID is not a taxonomic ID.
• Bootstrap grid layout and flex classes were seen, though used somewhat subtly.
• The use of collapse is noted as one of the requested “advanced Bootstrap” features.
• The use of card is noted as the other “advanced Bootstrap” feature, though its usage does not really maximize its potential.
• The XML and JSON API calls were adapted correctly.

Shared Journal

Questions and “good habit” aspects are fulfilled, all on-time. Your comment on your interest primarily being on the computer science side is noted, and that’s fine as long as you continue to retain proficiency in the biology aspect even if the interest level is not that high. When developing software for others, it is important that we acquire a firsthand sense of our user base’s needs, interests, and perspective; this is how we are able to create software to truly fulfill that user base’s needs, as opposed to just checking off requirements without fully appreciating why those requirements are the way they are.

Week 5 Feedback

(work in progress)

Shared Journal

Questions and “good habit” aspects are fulfilled, except that the entry itself was submitted 8 minutes late.

Week 4 Feedback

Individual Journal

• You’ve gotten a lot of the “good habit” tasks down, but not all. For this week:
  • The individual journal landed 19 minutes late…
  • …in a single edit! So kind of a double-whammy there. Had you edited more granularly, some edits might have landed on time. At least that single edit had a message.
• Your lab notebook remains on the brief side but does include the kinds of details we like to see. If you integrate note-taking further into your workflow, I think the detail will naturally flow from there.
• Your references were as requested except that the Week 3 reference was not updated to Week 4.

Shared Journal

• Most questions and “good habit” points are fulfilled except:
  • There is no link from your shared journal back to your user page.
  • There is no wiki signature on your shared entry…which is somewhat ironic because you set up the template with a very clear placeholder for the signature 🤔

Web Page

(both homework partners get the same feedback)

Most gene page requirements were fulfilled except:

• Filenames and title element weren’t customized to your chosen gene
• A separate gene summary paragraph was not seen
• The displayed Ensembl gene ID doesn't match the ID in the link
• The displayed UniProt ID is the taxon (organism) ID—note the link has a different value (plus there is a typo in the UniProt label)
• Acknowledgments and References should have had separate headings, plus Week 3 was not updated to Week 4

Week 3 Feedback

• Everything was turned in on time—good job! You also fulfilled the “good habit/best practice” aspects of the assignment, including supplying comments for all 13 of the listed journal edits.
• You supplied an electronic notebook with this assignment, but it only covered the sed portion of the assignment and could still use additional detail. Openness and reproducibility are the values that we are after here: can someone reading your notebook get a clear understanding of what you did for this assignment? Do they have enough information to replicate the results that you posted on your journal page?
• Your hack-a-page work certainly fulfilled the instructions, but was the “shmoogle” image made by you? Or did you download it? Note how a thorough notebook (or acknowledgments) would answer this question before it even gets asked.
• Your list of links was quite thorough, including the cgi links for the reading frames, which I was hoping that students would catch. However…
• …I was also hoping that the values after seqdna in those links would be recognized by students as IDs. You listed element IDs, which are technically correct, but as noted there were other IDs on this page beyond those kinds.
• The note that you did this alone causes some concern. Was this your choice? Beyond your control? If the latter, please notify Dr. Dahlquist or myself in case it needs our inquiry or intervention. Fortunately, this assignment leaned toward the computer science side, toward which you are already comfortable. In other circumstances, not having a partner would have had more negative consequences.
• Your shared journal answers definitely align with my views and the views of others—to this day I still sometimes miss the occasional important character, and there is truly a need to keep doing what we’re doing in order to stay sharp.

Week 2 Feedback

• Your turned in most of your assignment on time, but your template was added late. You also made one small edit past the deadline on your shared journal entry. You were also missing the link from your User page to the Week 2 assignment. Please add these links to your template if you have not done so already.
• You wrote something in the summary field for 4 of 8 saves (50%) in the period of review; since you had only received the feedback about frequency after you submitted this assignment, I am expecting that this number will be improving in subsequent weeks.
  • As we discussed in class, you obviously cannot go back to fix this; we will be looking for improvement as the semester goes on. Missing a summary field here and there because you clicked "Save" too fast, is not a big deal. We aim to approach 100%, but anything above 90% is in the acceptable range.
• However, the number of total saves to your Week 2 journal entry is quite small (5). We are encouraging you to save your work in smaller "chunks"; a range of 10-20 saves is what would have been expected for this assignment.
• Your complementary DNA sequence was correct.
• Your translations were correct.
• Your determination of which frames contained ORFs was correct.
• We do not use 5' and 3' to mark the ends of protein sequences. Instead, we use N-ter and C-ter.
• I did not find any electronic lab notebook for this assignment. In this case, the lab notebook 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.
• The technical language in articles from the primary literature is definitely a hurdle for students (and even for faculty from a different field), but keep with it. Like with other fields of endeavor, it is good to take a look at the primary source. I can go over splicing with you and the alpha helix/beta sheet structures of proteins. I have some 3D models in my office that may be helpful.

Week 1 Feedback

• Thank you for completing the assignment on time.
• You completed all of the required content and skills except for the following list. You have the opportunity to make up the points you have lost on this assignment by completing the changes requested by the Week 3 journal deadline.
  • Please include Biological Databases and any other courses you are taking this semester in your list of upper division courses. Completed!
  • Please make an explicit statement about your career interests and goals. Completed!
  • You wrote something in the summary field for 7 of 11 saves, or 64%. We would like to see this approach 100%. Will do!
  • Please create a new wiki page (your Week 2 or Week 3 individual journal page will now fulfill this requirement). Completed!
  • You uploaded a file and linked to it on your page, but did not use the correct syntax so that a visitor to you page can click the link to download the file. Instead of using [[File:filename | visible label]], please use [[Media:filename | visible label]]. Completed!
  • You included a category on your page, but we would prefer you to use the category “Journal Entry” instead of “User Page”. Please make this change. Completed!
  • You did not create or invoke a template on your page. Please see the instructions on the Week 1 assignment and let us know if you have questions on how to implement this. Completed!
• I answered your question on my User talk page.
