Week 1 Feedback

Here is the feedback to your Week 1 journal assignment.

• Thank you for submitting your Week 1 assignment on time.
• The grade for this assignment is posted on the MyLMUConnect Grade Center for this course. You will be able to earn back the points you missed on this assignment by completing the requested revisions below by the Week 3 journal assignment deadline of midnight on Tuesday, February 3 (Monday night/Tuesday morning).
  • Every time you make a change to a wiki page, please type something in the summary field (found above the "Save page" button). I estimate you are doing this about 75% of the time. You want to aim for 100%.
  • You did not use and "third" level subheadings (three equals signs or more). Be sure to utilize this feature to organize content on your journal pages.
  • Your bulleted list did not format correctly because you used an initial space before the "*" of the subbullets. As you can see, an initial space on a line actually creates a different type of formatting using a fixed-width font. There are times that we may want this type of formatting, but this is not one of them. If you go back and remove the initial space, your bulleted list will look right.
  • I can see that you modeled your template after the main template for the course. Your template looks good, but does not have quite the information that I intended for student templates. I would like your template to contain a list of links to the Assignment pages, a list of links to your individual journal entries, and a list of links to the shared journal entries, as well as a link to your user page and the BIOL398-04/S15 category. I would prefer all of this information appear on your actual user page (and in subsequent weeks on your individual journal pages as well) and not on a separate page. The reason for this is that it helps me navigate the wiki while I am grading all 10 students' assignments. Having to go to an extra page takes additional time when I could just go there directly. You can still keep the header in place, but provide these links elsewhere on the page. Let me know if you need assistance formatting this. Also your "general" link to shared journal, just goes to the Week 1 journal, so it is labeled incorrectly.
  • The link to the Assignment page and to the Week 1 shared journal was not there as of the Week 1 deadline.
  • You can also remove the OpenWetWare automated text from the bottom of this talk page.

I've answered your question on my User talk page. — Kam D. Dahlquist 21:26, 29 January 2015 (EST)

Answer from Dr. Fitzpatrick

You asked what do you feel sets you apart from other math professors here, professionally as well as as a whole?

Hmm.. that's a tough one. Professionally, I'd say that I have a lot more applied and industrial experience. I've spent a significant amount of time working in industry (mostly aerospace and defense) in addition to my academic work. As a whole, it's very hard to say. Many of our faculty are pretty well-rounded, with outside interests like hiking, running, photography, music. I like to do woodworking and have made a bit of my own furniture. I have a truck that is older than I am. Those two are probably separators. Ben G. Fitzpatrick 01:22, 21 January 2015 (EST)

Hello, Alyssa N Gomes! This is a welcome message from OpenWetWare. By the way, we've announced you on the home page! You can leave messages to any OWW member by editing their User_talk pages like this one. And don't forget to personalize your User Page so that we can get to know you better! We've included some tips below to get you started.

Basic Wiki Instructions

• Don't be afraid to edit! As with all pages on the wiki, all versions are saved so its easy to undo. If you have any questions feel free to send us an email.

1. Start off by clicking the 'edit' button to the right of this section, or at the top of the page.
2. Now you should see the text of this section as text within an editor box. There are several buttons in the editor box, but don't worry about those for now. Just type something in the box, scroll down to the bottom, and hit the 'Preview' button.
3. You should see the web-page and text box views, but now with your edits! Don't forget to save your changes by clicking 'Save Page'!
4. Editing pages is as easy as that. There are of course many ways to format your text. The easiest way to learn is to find an OWW page with the formatting you like, click on the edit button again, and see for yourself how it was created in the text box. Here's an extensive list of formating examples. Or look at this OpenWetWare introductory tutorial.
5. When you are done, remove these instructions by clicking the edit button for this section again, erase everything you see in the text box and click 'Save Page'. (And remember you can always retrieve these by clicking on the 'history' tab at the top of this page.)

Note that these instructions apply to any page on OWW. Feel free to contribute to OWW by editing pages to add content, update them, or even correct mistakes. OWW relies on an active community to manage our growing resource of open access information, and we need your help!

Personal/Lab Info

We have gone ahead and filled in some information you provided us in your membership application on your User Page. Please take a moment to embellish this and tell the community a little more about you. Put links to your lab pages, your projects and your interests. If you run out of ideas, take a look at some of the other User pages. For example, check out User:Julius_B._Lucks, User:Jason_R._Kelly and User:Reshma_P._Shetty.

You'll also notice that we have put an 'image' placeholder at the top of your User Page. We encourage you to upload an image of yourself to give OWW a more personal feel. To upload an image, click on the Upload file link on the left-hand side (toolbar). Choose a file from your computer, and remember the file name. After you have uploaded the image, you should see it loaded on its own page. Go back to your User Page, click on edit, and replace 'OWWEmblem.png' with the name of your file that you have uploaded in the second line of this page.
