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)
4. I had a good understanding of the exercise and the processes involved in it. I had to ask a few questions during the ArcGIS portion but I was able to perform the exercise fairly well.
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)
4. I know enough to teach someone else, and I actually applied that by teaching a peer who was running into trouble. This made me more confident in my skills because I was applying what I learned to another project and I knew enough about what was going on to realize the issue and provide assistance.
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)
5. Yes, in the prior lab another group member tried to explain one of the processes of importing by doing it himself and having me watch, but I was only able to learn and retain the process when I was physically doing it. I also volunteered to perform the data collection in the survey revisit so I was able to apply what we discussed to how we collected the data
What types of learning strategies would you recommend to make the activity even better?
I find that the more physical involvement I can get with the activity, the better I retain it. I would have liked to have been taking notes during the ArcGIS lab explanation of interpolation, but I was focused on getting my data into the program and only watched the demonstration.
