Ending the Semester: Module 7 and Projects

We will hold our last lab of the semester tomorrow, Tuesday, December 3, at 12:50 PM. We will use this time to share your data analysis projects with your peers. You are conducting new research. After carefully processing the sequences, focus on the biological significance of the trends and differences you uncover. Each dataset is rich in metadata and possible comparisons! Furthermore, you now have several tools and colleagues to work with to discover new things. What did you discover?

The in-person presentations for the data analysis project are informal; we aim for you to share the interesting results you found with others and explain how you arrived at these results. For this, put together a few slides using our template:

  • Introduce your methodology
  • Present your research question
  • Share two or three figures that present the results you think are most enlightening.
  • Summarize your findings 
  • Mention future studies/analyses

After in-class presentations, we will have time for a final discussion of lab entries and group projects. Time will be available for you to work with your team to incorporate edits to further improve your projects. Then, please submit your finalized written project to Moodle. Remember to utilize the guidelines and rubric for your data analysis project. 

I am proud of what you have created and look forward to the presentations! 

In preparation for the end of the semester, please review the grade book carefully and let us know if you have any questions.
