Week 14 Feedback

• I have some observations to make about your data as you prepare for the final paper/presentation (I'm copying both partners on this feedback).
  • Which genes in the model have the closest fit between the model data and actual data? Why do you think that is? How does this help you to interpret the microarray data?
    • I agree that CYC8 has good fit, but I would dispute that the fit to the SWI5 data is better than some other genes. The model at t15 is only hitting the topmost replicate of the data for t15. For other genes, it seems to pass through the average much better for all of the timepoints. CYC8 probably does have the smallest difference between replicate datapoints. It is also not changing it's expression. The average of all the timepoints goes through 0 log fold change. There does seem to be a relationship between goodness of fit and noise in the data.

Week 13 Feedback

• Thank you for submitting your work on time.
• Please make the changes requested to your spreadsheet and make sure to update your Week 13 electronic notebook with what you changes.
• Your electronic notebook looks to be purely a copy and paste of the assignment protocol, with some specific data recorded at the bottom. You need to modify the protocol text itself with the changes specific to what you did, instead of listing it separately.
  • Link to your own individual assignment pages throughout the protocol when it refers to data coming from previous assignments.
  • Give the filename for your new file, as well as the link.
  • Record the changes you made to the "optimization_parameters" sheet.

Week 11 Feedback Part 1

• I checked your spreadsheet and all of your equations are correct!

Week 7 Feedback

• Your Week 7 individual journal assignment and shared journal reflection were both on time.
• You fulfilled all of the hyperlinks required for the assignment (back and forth to user page, to assignment, category).
• Your electronic notebook is minimal. The intent of an electronic notebook is to record what you did so that you or somebody else could reproduce what you did based on the information there. In addition to your MATLAB files, you need a complete description of what values you used for each run of the model and why you chose them, and the the resulting plots and your interpretation of what they mean. You only commented on how you worked with your partner, not what you actually did for the analysis.
• You needed to perform an analysis of the steady state.

Week 1 Redux

• I reviewed your Week 1 assignment a second time and noted that you made no further changes to this assignment.
• I note that your usage of the summary field is still excellent; you have written comments in the summary field for 99% of the last 50 contributions you made. Keep up the good work.

Week 1 Feedback

Here is the feedback to your Week 1 journal assignment.

• Thank you for completing this 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).
  • You are doing a very good job of typing something in the summary field every time you make a change to the wiki--keep up the good work.
  • Your external link needs a label on the link.
  • 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.
  • Please "comment out" a section of your code. You did not make any comments that weren't already put there by the automated page creator.
  • 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 21:28, 29 January 2015 (EST)

Answer to question from Dr. Fitzpatrick

You asked Is there any aspect of math that you dislike doing?

Nope. I like pretty much all of it as I encounter it. There is still a lot to learn, even after 30 years in the business. Ben G. Fitzpatrick 01:16, 21 January 2015 (EST)
