pwoody

The lesson itself was good but the topographic maps used as example and quizzes are outdated and are difficult to read. The elevation of the major contour lines should be easily readable or the elevation change between them should noted in the legend. This is important as the readers should be able to quickly understand the elevation data because without them its just a bunch of lines. Some of the questions should also be reworded or more information given such as "navigational compass" as there are drawing compasses that can be used to measure an angle with a string.I would also suggest that there be an interactive picture for aspect tutorial. It would just help if the student can see the the differences of directional aspects of a single hill (mountain) from an aerial view with and a ground view with a north direction reference included.

In the quiz:Identifying what the arrow is pointing at on the topographic map. The arrow is massive, and apparently isn't pointing to the west aspect, nor the ridge top. So now I'm to assume it's encompassing the entire south aspect even though the arrow is effectively pointing vaguely in between all three.Shrink the arrow or circle the specific area.

The content is good, but grab a snack and get ready for a lot of narration. (The narrator reads the printed text but also makes other points that go with the pictures; the pace is slow enough that it's easy to get distracted or read ahead and miss parts of the illustrations. I had to pause a couple of times to be sure I'd caught everything.)

Picture were misleading in the test. A chimney usually burns more intense than a south facing slope according to the course material dependent on conditions, for example.

The topo section was difficult to understand and did not provide much instruction on how to read a topo map for someone who has no past experience. Test questions are confusing and seem to have subjective answers which is very frustrating. The test did not seem to match up with the lesson.

maps were not easy to read and when taking the quiz at the end it shows what you got right and what you got wrong but i noticed that some of the answer i got wrong were not in the same order as the quiz. Example question 1 was just a question witch i new the correct answer and question 4 was a pic of a topo map that i got wrong but when it gave you the final score it showed question 1 as the topo map and marked wrong. Please keep the things the same from when you take the quiz to when you look at final score.

As many others have stated, the topo maps are just soooo bad. The course I thought was great, well presented and good quiz. The only thing I'll say in defense of the maps is maybe they're trying to make it look like the xerox copies you might get rolling in early on a fire? (Joking...there's no excuse, it would be easier to learn if they were legible)

Great info, but work on the topo
Ant2785

In the final quiz there is a question that ask you "at what point on the described topography map will there be the most intense fire behavior? I had some trouble locating this point.. I was thinking it would be helpful to implement a little more learning tools on how to read topography on those maps. Such as the "v"'s on the maps what do they mean? how to spot out drainages, identify slopes.. these sorts of things. Overall a great Unit. Thanks!

This module was very easy to understand and to learn from. The comments below say that the topo maps are hard to read. I disagree.
I have never before known how to read a topo map and because of this module, I now have a basic understanding on how to read them. I recommend this module for any one interested in wild fires or who lives in a wildfire prone area. For the record I am not a firefighter, just an ordinary person, and I found this module very easy to understand and very fun to learn from.

Upon completion of this unit, students will be able to:
1. Identify standard features on a topographic map.
2. Describe how topography affects fuels and their availability for combustion.
3. Describe how topography can affect the direction and rate of spread of wildfires.
4. Describe how changes in fuels and topography can provide full and partial barriers to the spread of wildland fires.
5. Describe how slope percent can be determined or estimated in the field and understand its effects on fire behavior.
