- 3- some knowledge

- 5- strongly agree
- I think it might be an interesting twist in the future to split into groups and then have them survey terrains that they did not build. This would be more realistic to a real survey, where you don't have control over what the terrain will look like.
Exercise 2: Visualizing and refining your terrain survey.
1. Prior to this activity, how would you rank yourself in knowledge about the topic?
- 1- no knowledge at all
- 4- I know enough to teach someone else
- 3- no real opinion
- A short presentation on the different interpolation methods could have been somewhat helpful, but the definitions found in ArcHelp were sufficient to understand
Exercise 3: Development of a Field Navigation Map and Learning
distance/bearing Navigation.
- 3- some knowledge
2. Following this activity, how would you rate the amount of knowledge you have on the topic?
- 4- I know enough to teach someone else
3. Did the hands-on approach to this activity add to how much you were able to learn ?
- 3- no real opinion
4. What types of learning strategies would you recommend to make the activity even better?
- If we spent some time looking at navigation maps before we made them, we might have a better idea of what was relevant before we started.
Exercise 4: Unmanned Aerial Systems Mission Planning
1. Prior to this activity, how would you rank yourself in knowledge about the topic?
2. Following this activity, how would you rate the amount of knowledge you have on the topic - 1- no knowledge at all
- 3- enough to repeat what I did
- 5- strongly agree
- I think it would have been intersting to fly an actual UAV, but I think that this also would have made the activity extremely difficult, so I think the simulator worked well.

4. What types of learning strategies would you recommend to make the activity even better?
- When I started looking at other blog posts, I realized that the video tutorials were probably better and is what I shoul have done. Maybe in the future that could be a mandatory part of the assignment.
Exercise 6: ArcPad Data Collection I
1. Prior to this activity, how would you rank yourself in knowledge about the topic?
- 1- no knowledge at all
- 3- enough to repeat what I did
3. Did the hands-on approach to this activity add to how much you were able to learn ?
- 5- strongly agree
- It looked like there was a video tutorial put on the assignment on D2L, but when I clicked on the link it did not open. I think that if I could watch a tutorial of the steps on how to deploy the base map and feature class into the Trimble Juno it would have been extremely helpful.
1. Prior to this activity, how would you rank yourself in knowledge about the topic?
- 3- some knowledge
- 3- enough to repeat what I did
3. Did the hands-on approach to this activity add to how much you were able to learn ?
- 3-no real opinion (was not present for actual field activity)
-
It would be interesting if there could be an end goal or objective behind the survey, like maybe producing a map with specific information on it, like locations of benches and trees.
Exercise 8: Conduction a Distance Azimuth Survey
1. Prior to this activity, how would you rank yourself in knowledge about the topic?
- 1- no knowledge at all
- 3- enough to repeat what I did
3. Did the hands-on approach to this activity add to how much you were able to learn ?
- 5- strongly agree
- It might be interesting sometime in the future to look at past semesters microclimate maps and see if the variations that we see are consistent between years.
1. Prior to this activity, how would you rank yourself in knowledge about the topic?
- 1- no knowledge at all
- 3- enough to repeat what I did
3. Did the hands-on approach to this activity add to how much you were able to learn ?
- 5- strongly agree
- When setting up the total survey station, we had some trouble remembering a lot of the individual steps. I don't know if it would be possible to make a video tutorial for just how to do the Magnet stuff on the tesla, but I think that could potentially be really helpful in the future.
1. Prior to this activity, how would you rank yourself in knowledge about the topic?

3. Did the hands-on approach to this activity add to how much you were able to learn ?
- 5- strongly agree
- Although it might have its problems, I think that this activity would lend itself very easily to becoming some sort of competition, where you could have the different groups competing against each other to see who could find the points the fastest. This however, might not be entirely in line with the purpose of making sure everyone is being careful and precise when finding their bearings. I liked this activity very much, and thought that it didn't require much changing.

3. Did the hands-on approach to this activity add to how much you were able to learn ?
- 5- strongly agree
- Something that might be a cool idea for the future is if the different groups plot 5 points on there map (on a specified area) and then they give it to another group to actually flag and plot with the GPS. The group could use the points as the general idea of where the points could go, and then could make adjustments based on what trees they can find, or what seems the most feasible.
Exercise 12: UAS flights
- 1-no knowledge at all
2. Following this activity, how would you rate the amount of knowledge you have on the topic?
- 3-Some knowledge
3. Did the hands-on approach to this activity add to how much you were able to learn ?
- 3- no real opinion
4. What types of learning strategies would you recommend to make the activity even better?
- This would be difficult to improve, unless we enough time preparing that we could actually fly the UAVs, the current activity works well with the amount of knowledge we had. We could have possibly prepared a flight plan before class.
