Week 1 Feedback

• Thank you for submitting your journal entries on time.
• Your assignment was complete except for the following:
  • You section on career interests and goals is a little awkwardly formatted with headers instead of as a list or a short sentence. Also, it is not clear that the link to the journal article is just something you are interested in as opposed to a link to a paper you wrote. A little more explanatory text would be helpful along with the re-organization.
  • Under work experience, make it clear that Stephanie was your supervisor.
  • Again under personal interests and hobbies, it is awkward to use the headers as a stand-in for a list.
  • You wrote something in the summary field 21 out of 26 times (81%) for your user page which is pretty good, but we are aiming for 100%.
  • You create a link to a new wiki page for your Week 2 individual journal, but since you didn't save any changes to that page, it appears as a redlink. To complete this, make a change to that page and save it.
  • You added the category directly to your user page, but in the future, it should be on your template, which will get invoked on your page.
  • Besides invoking your template on the user page, as discussed in class, use your template to make a list of all course assignment pages, your individual journal pages, the shared journal pages, the category, and a link to your user page. Then you just need to invoke it on all of your individual journals.
  • The link to the shared journal is missing from your User page because you didn't invoke the template.
  • Don't forget to sign your Academic Honesty statement in your Acknowledgments section with your wiki signature.
• You can make up the points you lost on this assignment by completing these requested changes by the Week 3 deadline, midnight Feb. 2.
• It seems that after the Janovy reading, you seemed more confident about calling yourself a biologist!

Instructor questions

• What is the UBM Spider Project? Lauren M. Kelly 16:16, 15 January 2017 (EST)

Lauren: Dr. Martina Ramirez, Aimee Cruz, Bethy Woubeshet, Farah Srichandra, and I worked on detecting environmental stress in spiders by examining their webs. We photographed webs and processed the resulting images to see how uniform (or non-uniform) the webs were, looking at variability in web silk spacing. We did find that webs from Hahn Park (a relatively clean environment) were more uniform that those from Ballona (a relatively dirty environment).
