Field Activity #4: Geodatabases, Attributes, and Domains
1. Prior to this activity, how would you rank yourself in knowledge about the topic. (1-No Knowledge at atll, 2-Very Little Knowledge, 3-Some knowledge, 4-A good amount of knowledge, 5-I knew all about this)
Prior to this activity I would rank myself at a 2. I had some basic knowledge of geodatabases and attributes but not very much and I had no knowledge of domains
2. Following this activity, how would you rate the amount of knowledge you have on the topic (1- I don’t really know enough to talk about the topic, 2- I know enough to explain what I did, 3-I know enough to repeat what I did, 4-I know enough to teach someone else, 5- I am an expert)
I would rate myself at a 4 after this activity, I feel I could teach someone how to create a geodatabase and provide helpful tips as well as what to avoid
3. Did the hands-on approach to this activity add to how much you were able to learn (1-Strongly Disagree, 2-Disagree, 3-No real opinion, 4-Agree, 5-Strongly Agree)
Probably a 5: the hands-on learning from this activity greatly added to how much I was able to learn
4. What types of learning strategies would you recommend to make the activity even better?
It was great to learn how domains work and some things to keep in mind while creating a new geodatabase but this lab seems very "learn as you go"
Field Activity #3: Development of a Field Navigation Map
1. Prior to this activity, how would you rank yourself in knowledge about the topic. (1-No Knowledge at atll, 2-Very Little Knowledge, 3-Some knowledge, 4-A good amount of knowledge, 5-I knew all about this)
Prior to this activity I would rank myself at a 1. I had absolutely no knowledge at all
2. Following this activity, how would you rate the amount of knowledge you have on the topic (1- I don’t really know enough to talk about the topic, 2- I know enough to explain what I did, 3-I know enough to repeat what I did, 4-I know enough to teach someone else, 5- I am an expert)
I would rate myself at a 4 after this activity, I feel I could teach someone a few best practices and the steps or pertinent information for a navigation map
3. Did the hands-on approach to this activity add to how much you were able to learn (1-Strongly Disagree, 2-Disagree, 3-No real opinion, 4-Agree, 5-Strongly Agree)
Probably a 5: the hands-on learning from this activity greatly added to how much I was able to learn
4. What types of learning strategies would you recommend to make the activity even better?
It was nice to go over some of the steps as a class before we created a map on our own. It is important to keep in mind that simpler tends to be better and to avoid clutter as best one can.
Field Activity #2: Visualizing and Refining Our Terrain
1. Prior to this activity, how would you rank yourself in knowledge about the topic. (1-No Knowledge at atll, 2-Very Little Knowledge, 3-Some knowledge, 4-A good amount of knowledge, 5-I knew all about this)
Prior to this activity I would rank myself at a 2. I new very little prior information about this topic
2. Following this activity, how would you rate the amount of knowledge you have on the topic (1- I don’t really know enough to talk about the topic, 2- I know enough to explain what I did, 3-I know enough to repeat what I did, 4-I know enough to teach someone else, 5- I am an expert)
I would rate myself at a 4, I could teach someone the basic background of this activity
3. Did the hands-on approach to this activity add to how much you were able to learn (1-Strongly Disagree, 2-Disagree, 3-No real opinion, 4-Agree, 5-Strongly Agree)
Probably a 5: the hands-on learning from this activity greatly added to how much I was able to learn
4. What types of learning strategies would you recommend to make the activity even better?
I would recommend students should learn about various sampling techniques and then try to make an educated decision on how to sample the terrain. It is important to be mindful of the various features such as high peaks and flat valleys and to think of how many data points would be needed to accurately portray those features. So in short, pre-planning is crucial and it is good to keep in mind how much time various sampling techniques would take to complete.
Field Activity #1: Creation of a Digital Elevation Surface
Prior to this activity I would rank myself at a 3. I have learned similar concepts in previous courses but have not had a hands on experience like this
2. Following this activity, how would you rate
the amount of knowledge you have on the topic (1- I don’t really know
enough to talk about the topic, 2- I know enough to explain what I did,
3-I know enough to repeat what I did, 4-I know enough to teach someone
else, 5- I am an expert)
I would rate myself at a 4, I could teach someone the ins and outs of the topic but there is still a lot of information I would need to gain to have a better grasp of the concept
3. Did the hands-on approach to this activity add
to how much you were able to learn (1-Strongly Disagree, 2-Disagree,
3-No real opinion, 4-Agree, 5-Strongly Agree)
Again, I would rate myself at a 4. I definitely learned from this activity but there is still a lot more about this topic that I can still learn
