Assessment

UAS Consulting
1. 2
2. 3/4
3. 4
4. I think that maybe giving a little more insight into what makes drones effective would be helpful, that being said I did learn a ton about what different drones can do. I feel that in response to the second question that I could repeat what I learned, but I do not know for sure that I could teach someone everything about drones because there are so many different types that have an endless amount of features.

Making Good Maps
1. 4
2. 4 1/2
3. 4
4. I think this activity was laid out really well and it was smart to do this activity early in the semester because it lays good ground work for the expectations for the rest of the semester.

Processing Pix4D Imagery
1. 1
2. 4
3. 4
4. This activity was a really good one to become familiar with Pix4D. With just a little direction the program was easy to use and I am sure that the software has endless applications.

Using ArcGIS Pro to engage in Value Added Data Analysis
1. 1
2. 4
3. 4
4. Adding an area that was more close to home would help this exercise to have more of an influence, though it was still a good lab that had a lot of relevance.

Processing Pix4D Imagery with GCP's
1. 3
2. 4
3. 5
4. The trial and error that it took to get all of the GCP's to work was beneficial because I had to run things 4 or 5 times so I was able to get very familiar with the processing. I think maybe a little more direction on typing down the GCP's and using the rayCloud could be beneficial, though it would not be necessary as I was able to complete the lab.

Processing Multispectral Imagery
1. 3
2. 4
3. 4.
4. This is a good activity because it helped build on what was learned in the ArcPro tutorial and helped to put it into a real life setting. By real life I mean relating to the fact that this was someones yard who you knew.

Calculating Volumes of Stock Piles Using Pix4D and ESRI Software
1. 1
2. 4
3. 4
4. I spent a lot of time messing with steps two and three because something was corrupt with my DSM so I had to go back and re create a DSM so that the tools would run. It was a good exercise and I felt really proud after figuring it all out.

Processing Oblique Imagery in Pix4D
1. 1
2. 4
3. 5
4. This exercise was frustrating in the beginning, but as the lab went on and I began to figure out the best way to get close to the dozer, truck and shed things became much easier. I feel fortunate having been exposed to the method of annotation.

Mission Planning
1. 1
2. 4
3. 4
4. This activity was good and helped me get a basic understanding of C3P. A way to make it better would be to have to guidance from you,just have us use help for everything, that way it encourages problem solving even more.

GCP's
1. 3
2. 5
3. 5
4. The creation is not hard, but it is a useful skill to have.

South Middle School
1. 2
2. 5
3. 5
4. This was a good exercise and after completing it I feel I could easily replicate it.

Wetland Flight Near Tomah
1. 2
2. 5

4. This was very interesting and I hope to make it down there for additional flights.
