WARNING! Please don't use double quoatation marks in your answers.
(The questionnaire program dies when it encounters them!)
Spring 2013 


If you encounter a question you've answered in a previous questionnaire and your answer hasn't changed, feel free to ignore the question.
Exception: Please continue to give your name, even if it hasn't changed.

I. Basic Information

A. Your name 
II. BioBIKE
What specific problems you've encountered would be helpful to you for us to discuss in class?
III. What is a Gene?
A. How far did you get in the tutorial, "What is a Gene?"?
    You can answer by referring to the last item you addressed (e.g. III.3 or End). 

B. 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?):

C. The relationship between a gene and a genome
D. The coordinate system
E. Counting the occurrences of sequences
F. Finding patterns in upstream sequences (as described in Section III)

With this in mind, how could class time best be spent to meet your needs?
     

IV. Genome Sequencing

A. DNA libraries, dideoxy sequencing, shotgun genome assembly,...
     What specific questions have you developed regarding the technical aspects of genome sequencing (in light of the notes posted for Tuesday)?
     

B. How far have you gotten in the tour of Myers et al (2000)?  

C. Comments, questions, concerns regarding Myers et al?
     

V. Probability

A. What concerns do you have regarding how to use basic tools to calculate probabilities (in light of the notes posted for Tuesday)?
     

VI. Problem Set 1

A. How far did you get in Problem Set 1?
B. What concerns do you have regarding specific problems?
     

VII. Miscellaneous
Any other comments, questions, suggestions, or concerns you may have?

Thanks!
