Transcription/Translation video project
videos uploaded to vimeo.com have been graded and posted but videos submitted on CD/DVD are still being graded
Common mistakes and point deductions included
- Mixing up "Transcription" and "Replication"

- Incorrect use of vocabulary in the video
- Inaccurate representation of transcription and translation
- Moving tRNA to new codons and mismatched tRNA

If you submitted your video to vimeo and don't see a grade, please Email csaikin@houstonisd.org and include the link to your vimeo video

Reading Guides
Chapter 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19-21 must all be turned in on turnitin.com to receive credit for any.
If this was not done, turning in 1 would get you the same grade as turning in 6, and that just isn't fair. The other alternative is to give zeros when they aren't turned in, but that option is not preferable to most.
If you have an EXC, this means you either did not turn in all the guides or too much of your reading guide was copied directly from another source.

Please check for mistakes on your cycle 3 grade
