(please press SUBMIT button when finished)
Spring 2016  


I. Basic Information

A. Your name 
II. Old business (no need to repeat anything you've said in a previous questionnaire)

A. Anything further you'd like to discuss regarding the notes, Strategies of Life and the self-assembly tutorial?

Concerning What is a Gene?

B. How far have you gotten in the tutorial, What is a Gene? and its companion?
    You can answer by referring to the last item you addressed (e.g. III.3). 

C. Provide a statement that describes as accurately and completely as possible your current understanding regarding how a cell determines where a gene begins.
     

Consider how comfortable you are with the following topics (as defined by the tour What is a Gene?):

D. The relationship between a gene and a genome

E. The coordinate system

F. How to go about identifying a gene from within a DNA sequence

Any of these topics still causing you concern? If so, how? What have you tried to do to gain insight?
     

G. Research Proposal
      Are you relatively clear on the nature of the research proposal and how it will play out? (if not, try the Research Proposal page)
      Are you happy with your topic and current candidate mentor (presumably the person you named in Exam 1)?
     

III. Wrinch (1936)

A. How far have you gotten in the companion to Wrinch (1936)?
    You can answer by referring to the last study question you addressed (e.g. SQ12). 

Consider how comfortable you are with the following topics pertinent to Wrinch (1936):

B. Finding things in the article

C. Nature of a micelle and its relationship to Wrinch's model of a gene

D. Interpretation of Fig. 3

E. Information content of Wrinch's chromosome

F. Division of Wrinch's chromosome

G. Comparison of her gene to the gene as we now understand it

Study questions 1 - 17

With this in mind, how could class time best be spent to meet your needs?
As always, refer to specific matters and relate your current understanding and efforts you've made to address your discomfort.
Do you have any other questions concerning the material in the notes?

IV. Miscellaneous
