Assessment

UAS Platform Consulting Report:
1. 2
2. 4
3. 5
What types of learning strategies would you recommend to make the activity even better?

Throwing us into the gauntlet to explore components and what makes a good UAS platform forced us to understand what things do and what makes some components more important than others


Constructing Maps with Processed UAS Data:
1. 4
2. 4
3. 5
What types of learning strategies would you recommend to make the activity even better?

I believe the hands on approach this assignment took was a good way to learn how to make maps with UAS processed data.


Processing Pix4d Imagery:
1. 2
2. 3
3. 5
What types of learning strategies would you recommend to make the activity even better?

I already took Remote Sensing so I understood what some of the settings were actually doing but if someone had not previously taken that class it would be useful to actually understand what some of the input and processing settings were actually doing.


Value Added Data Analysis With ArcGIS Pro
1. 2
2. 3
3. 4
What types of learning strategies would you recommend to make the activity even better?

Following a tutorial step for step helps expose a user to a program and what the program does but it does not help a lot of the information learned stick in the brain.  I could probably repeat the process but I didn't really understand the point of some of the steps.



Processing Pix4d Imagery with GCP's:
1. 2
2. 4
3. 5
What types of learning strategies would you recommend to make the activity even better?

Already having experience with Pix4d from a previously made incorporating GCP's easy and approachable.  I understand what the GCP's do and how they are very valuable to UAS data.

Processing Multispectral Imagery:
1. 3
2. 4
3. 5
What types of learning strategies would you recommend to make the activity even better?

The lab layout provided enough instruction to be able to complete the lab and understand what i was doing.  Prior knowledge of remote sensing also helped this process.

Calculating Volumetrics using UAS Derived Data:
1. 2
2. 4
3. 5
What types of learning strategies would you recommend to make the activity even better?

This lab was more difficult but the lab layout and in-class instruction made it understandable and a great learning tool.  I feel that I learned a lot about volumetrics in Arcmap and Pix4d.

Processing Oblique Imagery:
1. 2
2. 4
3. 5
What types of learning strategies would you recommend to make the activity even better?

The hands on learn as you go approach to this lab was the best way to do it.  It was not a difficult process but it takes a lot of time.  


UAS Mission Planning:
1. 2
2. 4
3. 5
What types of learning strategies would you recommend to make the activity even better?

Already having most of the semester of UAS under the belt, this lab was laid out in a way that was easy to understand and helped me retain a lot of knowledge about mission planning.  One way to make this better would be to actually plan some missions out that we do in the field.
