4. What types of learning strategies would you recommend to make the activity even better?
Perhaps after it was completed we could do a walk round of everyone's terrain models
and they could present what they did, so we could see how other groups chose to do it.

A quick re-cap or introduction to the advantages and disadvantages of the different interpolation methods would have given us a better understanding of each method's purpose.

Having a full lecture on what UAVs are to start with and the different types and their application. Being shown a presentation of a real life example of a scenario and what was done to manage it, would have aided our understanding of what was required.

I think being able to test the technique beforehand was very useful, and once we had our head around exactly what about each point we had to record, I din't think that there was much more that needed to be done.

Perhaps doing a sort of run through with a few point just outside the building would have been good, so that the groups could put all the skills we had learnt in class together to practice before going out in to the field.

Through the tutorial I understood just about enough to complete the task, however I did not necessarily know why I was doing the steps or creating things, so perhaps a little talk at the beginning of class about the reasons why we needed to do the steps as well as create it.

It was really good to see all the practices in action and makes it more memorable of you have been and experienced them in action as appose to just reading about them. I don't necessarily know a lot about the technology and perhaps a little more explanation in to that would ave been good, but I also understand that was not necessarily one of the objectives.

Through the previous database creation we had an idea of the data we had to collect, and although we had to get use to the equipment readings, it was understandable to carryout after that. Through the collection of so many points it was a memorable exercise, which was then easily carried out in another class.

This exercise was very confusing and difficult to star out with, and the demonstration we were given during class did not really work as not every group had their turn to go through it, and it was very hard ti see what other groups were doing with small screens and no relation to what was going on. So as well as ensuring that every group knew how to set up the equipment, a quick run through with every group to ensure they knew how to collect each point would have saved people a lot of time and stress I think.

Again, as with the other UAS fieldwork task, seeing and being a part of the data collection helps it stick in your mind. But the explanation of the sort of path to take with the balloon would have been more effective than the random route the group took. I also think that the imaging analysis was an extremely new and daunting task, with very little background information given to us.

As was mentioned in the previous exercise where we were introduced to these techniques, a runt through before hand would have been useful for group's to learn how to co-ordinate. But, we soon picked it up, and was an enjoyable exercise to complete.

Obviously having been to the area and completed parts of the course previously, we had sort of an idea of what had to be done, But it was very different when working with a GS, and I actually feel we may have been quicker with the traditional methods. A little explanation in how to properly use the GPS, although it may seem obvious, might have been useful, as much of the time we just set off in a direction until we could see that we were no longer following our route line on the unit, and then kept changing direction until we were, rather than being able to set out in the right direction in the first place.
