- 4.5, I can always improve, but I have learned a lot in this assignment.
- 4.5, the hands on approach always helps when I learn. Working with classmates really helped give new ideas as well.

Assignment 1- Cemetery Data Collection: Part 1
1. 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).
- 3, I had some previous knowledge on collecting data and the ways to do it. Some of it was basic knowledge and didn't seem very difficult, but I knew there was more to learn.
2. 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 applied what I had already known before the activity. Some of my methods were improved upon after consulting with others in the class. I learned some new way of collecting data which I can apply to future occasions.
3. 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, if this were explained through a lecture I wouldn't have learned as much. By being out in the field and learning from others and my own mistakes I improved greatly.
- I would recommend that the class work together a little more organized. We eventually got the data we needed, but it seemed a little messy. While we changed out methods in the field (skipping GPS points for the sake of time) I think it was important to the data collection. We learned the first plan doesn't always work out like we expect.
