Homework Submission Guidelines

  • When submitting assignments online, make sure that your name is in the file name and the document itself. e.g. 'ImaStudent_M1D1' Renaming the file in Stellar itself is not sufficient, as this does not actually affect the file name.
  • For group assignments, submit one copy of the homework and also include your section and team color. e.g. 'TR_Blue_DataSummary'
  • Note: Some assignments may indicate a more specific naming scheme than this one. Follow that instead when applicable

Module 1: Drug discovery

Due M1D1

  • Review the Orientation and laboratory tour exercises to prepare for the Orientation quiz that you and your partner will complete together during at the start of the laboratory session.
  • Complete the following online training courses offered through Environmental Health and Safety (EHS):

Emergency Preparedness (access at this this link)
General Chemical Hygiene (access at this link)
General Biosafety (access at this link)
If you have completed EHS training in a UROP or in another laboratory class, you do not need to repeat the training. Instead submit the certificates of completion or your training record which can be found at "My Training Needs" on Atlas. To access, go to atlas.mit.edu then click the Learning Center tab on the left side of the screen.

Due M1D2

  • The major writing assignment in Mod1 is the Data summary. As part of this assignment you will provide details concerning the relevant background information important for understanding your project. In addition, you will use this information to motivate your specific research question.

What is your research question?
What important problem is addressed by your research question?
What topics / concepts should be explained to ensure a reader understands why your research question is important?
What experiments / techniques will you use to answer your research question?
Hint: review the information provided on the M1 Project overview for help!

  • The BE Communication Lab is a great resource to keep in mind as you complete your assignments for 20.109. To familiarize you with this resource, you will receive homework points for meeting with a Fellow to discuss an assignment by M1D5. To schedule your appointment online at the BE Communication Lab homepage. Click "Make an appointment" at the top right corner of the screen.
