== Overall Assessment and Advice to Others Wishing to Design Assignments in Proteopedia ==

I taught a one-semester biochemistry course, where I focused upon structures, enzymes, kinetics. regulation and pathways. Topics related to the central dogma were not discussed.

Procedure: Students chose three topics from the list above and were assigned one of their choices for which they received one point. Students then registered at Proteopedia and completed the assignment teaching them to become comfortable with SAT. Completing the assignment earned the students 5 points. Students then submitted a rough draft. Students were evaluated on rough drafts and were required to meet with the instructor for mid course adjustments. The rough draft included all test and included place holders for WIKI scripts. Students could earn a maximum of nine points for the rough draft. Students submitted the final draft. If I felt more work was required, I gave the students more time to complete the task. Between the time of the rough and final draft students were allowed to ask to have their sites evaluated without being graded. Students could earn 10 points for the final draft. Total points: 25 points.

Grading was lenient since students were beta-testers.

What I learned: The SAT is simple enough for students to master, a testament to those who designed the tools. Most students were able to muster a reasonable project; at least one project was top notch; several were very good and one was a failure. Students can produce very elegant scripts, but most will not have the patience nor imagination to do so.
