BIOL398-05/S17:Class Journal Week 6

Lauren M. Kelly Reflection

1. What aspect of this assignment came most easily to you?
   • I found reading the article and finding the relationships between the variables relatively easy. The relationships/correlations between the variables were easy to pick up on, and thus helped me see what I would possibly need to include in the differential equations.
2. What aspect of this assignment was the most challenging for you?
   • I found that taking what I had learned from the article and applying it to writing a system of differential equations was extremely difficult. I had trouble seeing how the variables used in the paper could be incorporated into equations that represented the yeast population. It was difficult to know where to start, and I hope that referring to the Week 5 assignment for guidance at least pointed me in the right direction.
3. What (yet) do you not understand?
   • I do not yet understand how to write differential equations based on information in a paper. I hope that with more practice and a refreshed understanding of differential equations I will be able to grasp this concept.
