1. What did you learn from this project?: Individually, members of the class each worked on a project which was partially dictated by their educational background, i.e. geography, computer science, biology, or geology, which added to their background in that subject. As a group, the class learned how to use equipment such as ground penetrating radar, GPS recievers, digital cameras, and laser levelers.

2. Did you use the World Wide Web to research your project? How?: The World Wide Web was used by the class to assist research pertaining to their work topic.

3. How did the project help you in your coursework?: The individual projects all required a web page and two presentations as a part of the final grade. These requirements helped develop both our public speaking and presentation skills and furthered our knowledge in the development of webpages and websites.
