Paper Assignments

Presentation Prep: Individual Journal Pages

In preparation for your journal club presentation, you will each individually complete the following assignment on your individual journal page.

  1. Make a list of at least 10 design or development terms (e.g., techniques, processes, technologies, architectures, environments, etc.) whose definitions you did not know when you first read the article. Define each of the terms. You can use any reputable technology reference source (e.g., Mozilla Developer Network, Programmable Web, etc.) as a source for definitions. If you don’t know where to look, you may look up the term in Wikipedia but select a primary or secondary source from the Wikipedia article’s references as your actual source. If a technology has an official or definitive website (e.g., https://nodejs.org for Node), cite the About page within that site for that technology. Cite these definition sources by providing an in-text citation that corresponds to an entry in your References section. Use APA formatting and provide a hyperlink to the URL if it is a web citation. Each definition must have its own citation, even if you used the same overall source.
  2. Write an outline of the article. The length should be a minimum of the equivalent of 2 pages of standard 8 1/2 by 11 inch paper (you can use the "Print Preview" option in your browser at 100% scale to see the length). Your outline can be in any form you choose, but you should utilize the wiki syntax of headers and either numbered or bulleted lists to create it. The text of the outline does not have to be complete sentences, but it should answer the questions listed below and have enough information so that others can follow it. However, your outline should be in YOUR OWN WORDS, not copied straight from the article.
    • What is the main message of this work?
    • What is the importance or significance of this work?
    • What design/development practices, processes, techniques, methods, or approaches were described in this work?
    • Briefly state how these activities benefit the endeavors of web design and/or software development.
    • Summarize the main points of the work.
    • What aspects of this work will inform how you carry out your final project?

Journal Club Presentation

The Coders (and Designer) will prepare and give a 15-minute PowerPoint presentation for their paper in class on Tuesday, November 14.

  • Please follow the Presentation Guidelines for how to format your slides.
  • You will need to prepare ~15 slides (assume 1 slide per minute of presentation).
  • You need to present the information in the outline of your journal article listed above, but organized as a presentation.
  • Your PowerPoint slides must be uploaded to the wiki and linked to from your individual journal page and your team page by 12:01am, Tuesday, November 14.
    • You can update your slides before your presentation, but we will be grading the ones you upload by the deadline.
  • Your presentation (both the slides and the oral presentation) will be evalutated by the instructors using the Presentation Rubric.
  • Your presentation will also be evaluated by your fellow classmates (anonymously) who will answer the following questions:
    1. What is the speaker's take-home message (one short sentence)?
    2. What is the best thing about this presentation?
    3. What needs improvement?
    4. Please comment on the speaking style (language and delivery) of each presenter.
  • Although you may be working with different partners on this presentation than before, we expect that you will take the feedback from your previous presentation into account when doing this one.

QA's and Data Analysts: Annotated Bibliography of Papers that Report Microarray Data from Yeast Subjected to Cold Shock

This exercise will be primarily performed in class on Thursday, November 9. The purpose of this exercise is to create a bibliography of papers that report microarray data from yeast subjected to cold shock. You will present one of the primary research articles you find as a journal club presentation on Tuesday, November 21. You will also use these articles to write the Introduction and Discussion sections of your final group report.

Whole Team Journal Assignment: Creating a Team Wiki Page

From this week on, your "Shared Journal Assignments" will become "Team Journal Assignments". For this week, some preliminary tasks are assigned to your team to kickstart your final projects.

  1. Name your team and create your team home page on the wiki.
    • The name of your team home page should simply be the team name.
    • 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.
  2. Create a link to your team's page on the course Main page.
  3. Create a template for your team with useful information and links that you will invoke on all pages that you will create for the project.
    • Create a category using your team name and include it on your team's template so that it also gets used on all pages you will create for the project. Also use include the category "Group Projects" in your template.
      • However, please do not add these categories to your own individual templates because we want them to precisely mark pages having to do with the Group Projects and your team, respectively.
  4. Each person needs to write a short executive summary of that person's progress on the project for the week, with links to the relevant individual journal pages (which will have more detailed information).
  5. Each team member should reflect on the team's progress:
    1. What worked?
    2. What didn't work?
    3. What will I do next to fix what didn't work?
  6. Note that you will be directed to add specific information to your team's pages in the individual portion of the assignment for this and future weeks.
