InsightII Tutorials

Four things:
  1. You are required to do some of the tutorials for General Biochemistry 403. The rest of the tutorials may be done during 404 (in the spring term) for extra credit; those taking the graduate version of the course (5-something or another) are required to do these tutorials. For when the tutorials are due, ask Rob Muldowney (see below), take a look at the whiteboards in 202, or look in your turnitin.com account at the calendar.
  2. I'm not the person to email tutorials to; if it is proper to email them (I don't know), email them to muldowney@aesop.rutgers.edu. See the Structural Biology Computational Laboratory homepage. If you do email them to me, I may or may not forward them to him and/or email you back to tell you to send them to him, depending on how nice I'm feeling.
  3. I'm also not the person to ask about problems with the tutorials. Again, bug Rob about it. If it's a time that he's not around, complain to Dr. Kahn that Rob's required work-hours need to be increased. If it's a problem with the computers themselves, I may be able to fix it, but check with Rob first.
  4. Don't send them as any format other than plain text or Rich Text, but check with Rob Muldowney on this. Microsoft Word will not be acceptable - save as plain text. If they are emailed, they cannot be emailed as HTML (which is unfortunately the default for hotmail, aol, etcetera); again, send plain text or Rich Text, and check with Rob Muldowney on this. Neither will turning them in as printouts (since we'd have to scan them in). You need to send them via email or as plain text files in your account (check with Rob to make sure that this latter option is acceptable). This is in order for Rob to compare the tutorial answers to make sure that people aren't copying from each other, not only by eye but with various programs that work with plain text. Given that these systems track who's logging in and who isn't - partially using programs I wrote, incidentally - it would not be difficult to figure out who the cheaters are... so I really advise against such plagarism, not only on ethical grounds but pragmatic ones. (Stupidity is a capital crime whether one believes in the death penalty or not.)
For students that I TA for, note that more strict limits (plain text, no Microsoft Word or HTML or Rich Text) apply to emails going to me.
