Weekly Reflection for Week of January 30-February 5

• How did you do on the work?

I like to think that I have done well on the work. But the thing with work is, is that I usually think I understand it, but then it turns out that I have it all backwards. But with genetics: DNA and RNA, I feel like I have a solid background on it. So to sum it up nicely, I feel like I have done well on the work.

• What do you think you understand well?

I understand RNA pretty well, like its function, its structure and the same goes for DNA.

• Where do you think you have to improve?

I know that I have to improve on understanding the replication of DNA and RNA. I'm confused about it, but not too lost.

• What strategies will you use to improve?

I will certainly rewatch the vodcasts/reread the prezis that are available on that information. Then, if that doesn't help, then watch youtube videos on it along with reading the text fully.

• How does the work we are doing fit into the context/narrative of the course?

Genetics are the back bone of life besides the information of adaptation and energy transfer (which is a lot of stuff). Biology is the study of life, without DNA/RNA complex life (and life as we know it) would not exist. So of course it fits into the context/narrative of this course.
