Questionnaire on: Defining Genomics and BioLingua Syntax
(please press SUBMIT button when finished)
Spring 2005

I. Basic Information

A. Your name 
II. General questions on mechanics
A. How far did you get in the Discovery Questions?

B. How far did you get in the BioLingua Syntax notes?

If you responded to last Wednesday's questionnaire,
you can skip down to Section IV

C. Do you have a copy of Discovering Genomics...?. 

D. Do you feel comfortable navigating through the web sites as directed in Discovering Genomics...?

 E. Do you feel comfortable with the mechanics of following the Guided Tour (What is a gene?) 

F. Do you feel comfortable with the mechanics of going through the notes on Mapping and Loops? By this I mean, for example, cutting and pasting examples into BioLingua.
