Assessment

Activity Name	Prior to this activity, how would you rank yourself in knowledge about the topic. (1-No Knowledge at all, 2-Very Little Knowledge, 3-Some knowledge, 4-A good amount of knowledge, 5-I knew all about this)	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)	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)	What types of learning strategies would you recommend to make the activity even better?
Creation of a Digital Elevation Surface	3	4	4	This is a fantastic introductory assignment for this course. One thing I would recommend is having each group plan out when they are using each box beforehand, so groups of students do not attempt to use the box at the same time
Visualizing and Refining your Terrain Survey.	2	3	4	This serves as a valuable introduction to 3D analysis. However, I still am not clear on when I would you one interpolation method over another.
Cartographic Fundamentals: Essentials in Map Creation.	3	4	5	This demonstrates the importance of proper map construction. If anything, a more in-depth detailing of ArcPro would help with this lab.
Development of a Field Navigation Map	4	4	4	Seeing an example of a navigation map used for a different site might help guide students in navigation map construction
Using Survey 123 to Gather Survey Data	1	3	5	I would suggest finding a way to incorporate meaningful data in the survey by interviewing other students. Otherwise, the data gathered is purely arbitrary and meaningless, as per tutorial instructions.
Processing UAS Imagery with Pix4D	1	2	4	Rather than having students read about a case study involving this process, having them perform data collection would impart some of the usefulness of this process.
Conducting a Distance Azimuth Survey	3	5	5	This lab I found to be largely satisfactory. However, you frequently described the circumference of the trees as the diameter during instruction. Be sure to avoid this in the future to avoid confusion.
ArcCollector Part 1: An Introduction to Gathering Geospatial Data on a Mobile Device	1	4	5	A great introductory activity for this application. Make sure to inform students to charge their phone beforehand.
Arc Collector 2: Creating your Own Database, Features, and Domains for Deployment and Use in ArcCollector	3	4	5	As this process is largely based on a student's personally designed project, effectiveness is a factor of each student's creativity. Informing students to check out previous blog posts is sound advice.
Topographical Survey with Survey Grade GPS and Total Station	3	4	4	Having students properly format the point and drone data rather than utilizing preformatted data will help to reinforce proper data entry and maintain knowledge on Pix4D
Navigation Mapping Exercise	4	5	5	The route data could be turned into line feature classes and used to measure both the ideal minimum distance on each route and compare it to the distance each group actually traveled on each route.
