這個作業與口頭報告的內容相同，並且包括講述該節課所討論的論文中使用的一項技術。描述這項技術要與該領域初學者的水準相銜接，還要包括其歷史沿革。書面描述應當包括參考文獻，也可包括合適的圖表。將這些對技術的描述進行複印，並分發給全班同學。因此，學期末，每位同學將有一本蛋白質折疊領域技術的手冊。

This assignment will coincide with an oral presentation and will involve describing a technique utilized in the paper to be discussed that session. The technique should be described at a level geared to novices in the field and include a history of the procedure. The written description should include references and may involve diagrams if applicable. These technique descriptions will be copied and distributed to all members of the class, so at the end of the semester each student will have a "handbook" of techniques used in the protein folding field.

第二個書面作業時，同學們將得到一份研究論文的摘要，並將會被要求設計一系列能夠支持摘要上所提到的結論的實驗。

For the second written assignment, students will be given an abstract from a scientific paper and will be asked to design a set of experiments that would support the conclusions presented in it.

作業3(PDF)
Assignment Three (PDF)

第三個書面作業是設計一個兩頁的研究提案。該提案概述了課堂上討論的一個話題或者一篇論文的一系列實驗。這些實驗可以包括但並不侷限於課堂上討論過的內容。該提案將在最後一節課上交。同學們可以聯繫課程講師討論想法和主題。

The third written assignment will be to design a two page research proposal outlining a set of experiments that follow-up on a topic or paper discussed in class. The experiments may include but are not limited to those described in class. The proposal will be due at the final class meeting. Students should feel free to contact the instructor to discuss ideas and topics.
