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

You covered some of the basics for your team page, but some specifically requested items were missing:

• You need to add a category with your team's name, i.e., "Page Desiigner".
• Please remove the category "Assignment" from your page/template.
• Arash's executive summary should provide a link to his Week 11 individual assignment page.

In addition, 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 (including the journal club presentations), 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? You did include the Template:GRNsight Gene Page Project Links, but then redundantly added a separate list of guild links.
• Finally, having consistent formatting for the executive summaries and reflections will improve the look and organization of your page. Hayden and Arash should fix the formatting of their bullet points.

Week 9 Feedback

• The “good habit” aspects of your individual journal are completely fulfilled and on-time. Good job!
• The electronic notebook has good detail and is readable and clear in its bulleted format.
• GRNsight testing is complete with clear feedback on the results.
• The overall process for going from the gene symbol to the final gene data, with the necessary substitutions, is completely and correctly specified.

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 all on point, and your electronic lab notebook is very thorough and detailed. Great work here!
• Most prior web page issues were addressed except for your gene page’s title tag, which was not revised to show your gene’s name.
• Bootstrap grid layout and flex classes were seen and largely used appropriately, although the flex usage is on the subtle side.
• I see the attempt to use the ScrollSpy feature, but I don’t think it’s functioning as intended. Good to see you explore it though!
• A second “advanced Bootstrap” feature was not seen.
• The XML and JSON web service calls were adapted as requested.

Shared Journal

Questions and “good habit” aspects are fulfilled, all on-time. I didn’t realize that you transferred very recently—it can indeed be a challenging adjustment, but your determination and attitude toward it is certainly healthy so I think it things will work out. At this point you know more about how you’ll be contributing to GRNsight so I hope that this is satisfying as well.

Week 4 Partial Feedback

I am posting partial feedback on your Week 4 assignment, with respect to your favorite gene page because the Week 7 assignment will build on that.

• Your favorite gene page had all of the required syntax and content except as follows:
  • The folder name, HTML filename, and title tag should all have been based on your gene's standard name, bro1. For example, the html filename should have been "bro1.html" instead of your two first names.
  • You did not provide the image file shown on your page in your folder, instead you linked to its source on the web via URL. Since you did not use the grnsight-screenshot.jpg image, it should have been removed from your folder.
  • You provided links to the source pages from each of the four different gene ID's, but it was not obvious that those were hyperlinks.
  • The intention in the assignment was that you should have provided in text citations for each piece of information, not just for the gene IDs. You had a list of references, but there weren't the corresponding in-text citations.
  • Also, please be in the habit of using complete APA-style citations for your list of references, not just hyperlinks.
  • The image you chose was really interesting! It would have been nice to at least have a title for the image so that the view could know what he or she was looking at.
• Aesthetics of the layout were not part of this assignment, but I want to note that as you revise this page, most of the text is flush with the left side of the browser window without any buffering "white space", making it a little difficult to read.
• Typically DNA and protein sequences are given in a "monospaced" or "fixed width" font, such as Courier, so the letters line up, which is what you saw on the parent databases.
• You had one "leftover" element from the Bootstrap template you used, a stray "Dropdown" appears next to the DNA and protein sequence links.
• Otherwise, a clean-looking page with nice section breaks!

More Week 4 Feedback

• I forgot to note above that you were missing your gene summary paragraph--be sure to add it to your Week 7 version.
• I want to note that you submitted both your individual and shared journal entries on time.
• The level of detail in your electronic lab notebook was good.
• You made a total of 26 edits to the wiki in the window of review and wrote something in the summary field 100% of the time--keep up the good work!
• You listed all of your sources in your Reference section, but please provide them in APA format.
• I want to note that Bootstrap itself is a standard library.

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 23 of the listed journal edits.
• You supplied an electronic notebook with this assignment, although more detail is called for. Remember that we maintain such a notebook in the spirit of openness and reproducibility. Always keep these questions in mind when journaling: 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?
  • In particular, your entries talk about “trying different things,” “a lot of trial and error,” and “just fooling around on Visual Studio Code”—but they don’t say what different things, or what you tried that didn’t work, or what you meant by “fooling around on Visual Studio Code.” These details make your process more open and will help readers of your document to not only reproduce what you did, but also to avoid what you’ve already tried that didn’t work.
• Your hack-a-page work certainly fulfilled the instructions—good to see that you had some fun with that.
• Your list of links consists primarily of supporting files for the web page, which is technically correct but there are certainly more kinds beyond that.
• You correctly listed a subset of the IDs in the page, and in this case you took the most explicit ones, the element IDs. Note that there are other kinds of IDs in the page and I was hoping you would catch those as well—for example, each reading frame entry got its own ID.
• One note regarding your references section: you phrased this similarly to your acknowledgments, using prose descriptive sentences. This approach should only be done in acknowledgments. Formal references are just a list of cited sources (properly cited, of course). Please format your future references sections in that way.
• Your shared journal’s chosen quote is certainly something to be aware of regarding computers, but it seems that these days, especially with the growth of artificial intelligence techniques, people are less and less cognizant of this. Good to know that you gravitated toward this quote!

Week 2 Feedback

• Thank you for turning in your assignment on time.
• You wrote something in the summary field for 22 of 22 saves (100%) in the period of review, which is excellent, keep up the good work!
• The number of total saves on your individual wiki page was 13, which is a good amount for this assignment.
• The link from your User page to the Week 2 assignment was missing, as was the link to your individual and shared journal entries. I think that you have addressed this with your template already, but am recording the feedback for future assignments just in case.
• Your complementary DNA sequence was correct, except in one case where you missed a t > a conversion.
• Your +1 frame had a U instead of an I in one place (not sure how that happened).
• Your +2 fraome had an A instead of an R in one place
• The +3 frame translation was correct.
• However, the -1, -2, and -3 frame translations were completely incorrect. It appears that you read them 3' to 5' instead of 5' to 3'. You either had to reverse the sequence or read it right to left to translate it correctly.
• Your determination of which frames contained ORFs was correct (but based on your mis-translation of the three minus frames).
• One other note: we do not label the ends of proteins 5' and 3', instead we label them N-ter and C-ter.
• Finally, do not flip the orientation of the RNA "top" and "bottom" strands from what is given by the DNA sequence. Even though it is the RNA that is ultimately translated, we always refer to "top" and "bottom" with respect to DNA.
• I did not see an electronic lab notebook for this assignment. For this journal entry, the lab notebook would have explained how you arrived at your answers to the questions posed in the exercise.
• The technical language in articles from the primary literature is definitely a hurdle for students (and even for faculty from a different field), I'm glad you stuck with it. Like with other fields of endeavor, it is good to take a look at the primary source. Instead of just relying on your memory for terminology, you can always look something up online or in a text book or dictionary. I have to do that myself when I am reading something from a different field.

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 a list of upper division courses.
  • We did not receive an e-mail from you regarding your worries/concerns or if there was anything else you wanted us to know. Please send us both an e-mail, even if your answer to both questions is “no”.
  • You wrote something in the summary field for 15 of 18 saves, or 83%. This is very good; we would like to see this approach 100%.
  • You created a “redlink” for your Week 2 journal entry, but that is only the first step in creating a new page. The second step is to actually click on the link and edit something, then save. Please create a new wiki page (your Week 2 or Week 3 individual journal page will now fulfill this requirement).
  • Please be careful to use the correct syntax for an internal wiki link versus an external one. Some of your internal links are formatted like external ones, including the one on the Main course page. While they do function as links, we would like you to please go back and correct the syntax so that you have practice in learning the MediaWiki syntax.
  • You organized your page using the three levels of headers, ==, ===, and ====, but you need to be careful to use them “in order” in outline form. For example, use === only underneath ==, don’t skip from == to ====.
  • You included a category on your page, but we would prefer you to use the category “Journal Entry” instead. Please make this change on the User page and on your template.
  • You created a template ([[Template:Hhinsch]]), but did not invoke it on your User page. To invoke it on your user page, you need to include the syntax {{Template:Hhinsch}}. Your template is the page that should include the list of Assignments (Week 1, Week 2, etc.), the list of your individual journal entries (Hhinsch_Week_2, etc.), and the list of shared journal entries (Class Journal Week 1, Class Journal Week 2, etc.), and the category “Journal Entry”. I see that you have created several sub-pages, instead of just creating the one template. Please go back and add the requested content to your main template, invoke your template on your user page and your individual assignment pages, and then we can delete the unused pages. Please let us know if you need assistance.
    • By correcting your template, then the missing link to the shared journal page will be corrected. This is something that will be part of the assignment each week. By using the template, you will save yourself from forgetting and losing points. You can work ahead and create the content for your template for the entire semester, if you wish.
• Thank you for your detailed Acknowledgments section; that is exactly what you should do in the future.
• I answered your question on my User talk page.
