2. Feedback from my Peers
Student #1:
You did a great job explaining the background information about lncRNA, H19, and kidney development. It would be good to have a justification for your hypothesis. And, of course, more specificity in the experimental methods.
Student #2:
I would maybe include a little bit more detail to your introduction. There were a few terms, I would have defined if I were you. It would be easier for the reader in case they aren’t familiar with your choice of topic. Also, it would be nice if you could include an abstract.
Student #3:
I really like this final project draft, especially the introduction part. I feel like it gets my full attention from the first line. Overall, it’s very well-written and I really like your hypothesis. I’m sure that this will make a great final project once completed. I wish you the best of luck and I’ll see you in class!
Student #4:
Your experiment is testing multiple things. I recommend simplifying it, or fusing the question into a single one, even if it leaves out some details. I appreciate the ambition, but focussing on one good experiment is prefered.
I also recommend a diagram showing the interactions of the different elements mentioned.
Your writing is very clear. Good job making the flow of the text.
Student #5:
Good points:
1. Very straight to the point
2. Awesome introductory paragraph
To improve:
1. A few typos/formatting (ex: spacing between words)
2. Unclear if having 2 hypotheses means you will require 2 experimental procedures?
3. Describe how you came to your predictions
Student #6:
Good introduction to why the topic is relevant. The background information was a little long and this sentence is odd “It is important to note the interaction of the microRNA’s interaction with members of the BMP family as the BMP family are a group of signaling molecules that is ubiquitous in all organ systems for its role in embryogenesis and development”.
Overall a nice draft and it will be nice when text is added to the tabels in the last sections to see your own interpretations.
Student #7: Very good introduction. Don’t forget to write your potential impact part and explain why you expect those phenotypes.
