I chose the the first clicker question in lecture 4 for my deep learning assignment. It asked, “The image below depicts a specific amino acid at pH = 7. It belongs in the same group as?” and the available choices were glycine, serine, arginine, and aspartic acid. The answer to this question was serine. This question was testing whether or not the student could recognize an amino acid as polar, nonpolar, acid, or basic. Once the student could recognize this, they then would have to figure out what choice was most similar to the given amino acid. In order to solve this question, the student would have to recognize that the given amino acid is polar and uncharged. This is because there is a electronegative sulfur at the end of the the R group. Once that is figured out, the student would have to figure out which amino acid was polar and uncharged among the available choices. Using Bloom's taxonomy, I would classify this question as an “apply” question. This is because it requires you to remember which amino acids among the choices are polar uncharged. It also requires you to understand how to look at an image of an amino acid and figure out that it is polar uncharged. Since you remember and understand this information, you are able to apply the knowledge in order to solve this type of question.
