Week 7 Feedback

• Your Week 7 individual journal assignment was late by 27 minutes and your shared journal reflection was on time.
• Please talk to me about how you are doing your hyperlinks for the assignment. The links to your journal pages should not be on a subpage, but on your user page itself.
• Your electronic notebook was very 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. Your notebook was only a description of how you and Karina worked together, not what you actually did in terms of the modeling. In addition to the MATLAB files, you should have described what values you used for each run of the model and why you chose them. You should have shown the plots that resulted and your interpretation of what they mean.
• Your handwritten notes on the analysis of the steady-state were good.

Week 1 Redux

• I have reviewed your Week 1 assignment a second time; thank you for submitting your changes on time.
• I noted that your usage of the summary field has improved slightly; you have written comments in the summary field for 74% of the last 50 contributions you made. Remember, we are aiming for 100%.
• I think you have a misunderstanding about how we want you to submit assignments for this class. We want you to create a new wiki page for each week's individual assignment instead of keeping one long electronic notebook page for this class. Note that this is different than what we are doing for our research. For example, you would create the page [[Natalie Willliams Week 5]] to hold your electronic notebook and submission for the Week 5 assignment.
  • Then, you will invoke your templae {{Template:Natalie Williams}} on each of those pages.
  • On your template, you would have a list of links to each of the week's assignments, to each of your individual journal pages, and to each of the class journal pages. Currently, your template only has links to the Week 1 assignment and your long narrative journal page and not to the class journal assignments. You might want to take a look at what some of your classmates have done to see examples of what I mean. Please talk to me if you need further clarification.

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).
  • Every time you make a change to a wiki page, please type something in the summary field (found above the "Save page" button). You are doing this approximately 50% of the time, but you should aim for 100%.
  • Since you are using OpenWetWare e-mail link, you probably don't want to show your real e-mail address. If you do want to show it, please go ahead and make it a "maillto" link.
  • Your section entitled "LMU Course BIOL398-04" is a little oddly placed. It seems like this section should be entitled "Upper Division Coursework" and then list the BIOL 398-04 with a link to the course home page. I don't think a link to your electronic notebook should be in this section, but should appear under research where you have it.
  • You created a template, but did not actually invoke it on your user page. To do this, use the code {{Natalie Williams}}. I think for this reason, you did not actually have the category or links to the assignment and shared journal pages appear on your user page.
  • You should remove the publication stuff that OpenWetWare automatically put on your User page as it does not apply to you. 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 21:30, 29 January 2015 (EST)

Answer from Dr. Fitzpatrick

You asked I would like to know what your favorite book is and why?

Wow, that is a very hard one... it's like having about 1000 children and being asked which is my favorite. I love to read all sorts of things: scifi, thrillers, history, biographies, current events, economics, and of course science and math. Neal Stephenson is my favorite scifi writer, and the whole Baroque Cycle (9 books total) is great. Thriller/horror stuff, I'd have to say Peter Straub's Koko. The most recent thing I've read is Piketty's Capital in the 21st Century, which is a great econ book. The book I use the most, and reach for the most often, is Graybill's Theory and Application of Linear Model, a statistics text I used in my first year of grad school. That one is probably my favorite. I have three copies: one at home, one at LMU, and one in my consulting office. My original copy has completely decoupled in sections from the binding and cover.

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.
