Introduction
The goal for today is to give you time and space to get started on the Mod 1 major writing assignment, the Data summary. Be sure to take advantage of the 'work day' to discuss the assignment with your laboratory partner and to ask the Instructors any questions you may have about the material covered, data analyzed, or assignment details.
Protocols
Part 1: Outline Data summary and divide workload accordingly
In science publications it is uncommon to find single-author papers. Most science is done in collaboration with peers and colleagues, and this is true for your Data summary assignment. You will work with your partner to prepare a draft and revision that describes the work you completed in Module 1. To ensure the work is distributed evenly you will first assess what needs to be done to complete the assignment and then decide who will be responsible for which parts.
Assess what needs to be done
Prepare an outline for your Data summary that highlights the components that should be included (i.e. "Background & Motivation" and "Results, Figure 1"). For each component, list what has been done (for example, "prompts regarding information for Background & Motivation section from due M1D2 homework") and what needs to be completed (for example, "use due M1D2 answers to write bullets for Background & Motivation section").
Distribute what needs to be done between partners
With your partner, decide who will tackle which components of the assignment. Discuss what work needs to be completed such that you are both in agreement on what is expected. Then discuss who will be responsible for that work. Review the submitted homework assignments and comments as this may help determine which partner should complete which components (hint: which homework is most easily revised based on the comments?).
Note that the assignment is graded as a whole and both partners will receive a score based on the whole and not their individual contributions. In this, it is important that both partners are involved in all components...either as the primary writer or as a reviewer. Next, coordinate times that you can meet to discuss the progress of the work and / or to review the work. It is also helpful to set deadlines for when certain work should be done so both partners are able to stay on track and are accountable to each other.
In your laboratory notebook, complete the following:
- Based on your discussion with your laboratory partner, record the following:
- What has been done?
- What needs to be done?
- Who will complete which components?
- When will you meet to discuss progress and review the completed components?
Part 2: Prepare Data summary
Use the remaining class time to prepare your Data summary and / or to complete the SMM data analysis.
Next day: Determine mutagenesis strategy
