I would 5: strongly agree that the hands-on approach 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 think it would be best if we thought of an idea of what to survey on campus, then took class time to go outside to look at the object we were going to survey before we developed the domains and the associated map. While completing my survey I noticed other details that could have been created as a domain that I would not have known without visiting a few of these sites prior to set up. This could reduce a potential lack of creativity would setting up the maps.

4. What types of learning strategies would you recommend to make the activity even better?
The hand out provided for the steps to set up the Total Station was helpful, and necessary. I think it is critical for each student to work with the Tesla and Total Station while in class, before going out to complete the surveys. I liked how we had each group explain how to set up the job to the next group while in class, because I had an idea of how to use the Telsa before going out into the field.

4. What types of learning strategies would you recommend to make the activity even better?
It is important to work well with other during this activity. It was crucial for us to have clear communication between in each in order to direct each other in the correct direction. It was also critical to have a positive attitude during this lab because the terrain was not the easily to walk through. As a suggestion, I would recommend each point be well labeled. It helps to visualize if your group is on track.

4. What types of learning strategies would you recommend to make the activity even better?
I thought taking the UAV out in the field, and seeing the variety of equipment in the lab was an effective way to begin learning about how the equipment functions. I think this, along with the exposure to the processing software successful introduced us to the field of UAS, I have no suggestions.

4. What types of learning strategies would you recommend to make the activity even better?
I think this lab was pretty straightforward, aside from recommending students research the topic before beginning their surveys I do not have anything to recommend. However, I think experiencing the electromagnetic interference in class was a great lesson to us all! Possibly could reenact? :)
