The photo quiz at the end is REALLY helpful! It would be great if the photos earlier in the quiz were labeled for clarity. Also, please slow down the wind graphic so students have time to read and then observe the graphic.

The old NWS Basic and Advanced SKYWARN Spotter Training courses were much more easy to comprehend and complete. I've been taking SKYWARN training every two years for probably eight years now, and I found this presentation lacking in clarity. See my previous comments. The answers to the next question "What is your prior experience with the subject of this lesson?" tells me this course was not made for SKYWARN spotters since there is no answer option that includes anything alluding to a "volunteer spotter".

The practice quiz/review answers were difficult to determine is they we referring the the situation being presented or questions for general overall comprehension. For example, towards the end of this lesson it asks about what should be reported and the question is looking for the answer to the general question...not the situation just presented.

Some of the questions lack the essential information to answer them definitively. Some questions are vague and have several possibilities for answers. I also disagree with some of the "correct" answers. Making good quiz questions is not easy as this lesson illustrates.

The information in this lesson was informative, but I felt it was lacking in the technical detail. The questions and quizzes were focused on cloud specifics, but the lesson didn't provide the detail necessary to fully understand the clouds.I think a few slides detailing the anatomy of the storm cloud before showing actual pictures would help. Video of clouds and storms with commentary would have been helpful in understanding the dynamics of the clouds.

Better description or “cartoon” of what the Cloud type is along with an real world picture. Video would also be a good addition instead of a slide show.

I have always wanted to be a meteorologist chaser and storm spotter! I have seen wall clouds and rotation in the past and all the time, even last weekend there was a rotating funnel here in Germantown with no warning and there were kids out playing. Also Just different storms that have popped up this year already here in Ohio and there was nothing I could do about it. Nothing happened but could have and there was no warning!!! Taking this class was the best thing for me! I can now warn others and have a faster warning put out to save lives! This is the best class I have ever took! I can't wait to warn other's about severe weather.

The learning points were presented AFTER the quiz questions on them. It would be much more effective if the points were made BEFORE asking the questions. Then the questions would reinforce the key points. Also, eliminate questions that ask "which of the following..." and then have a subjective set of points to choose from. These do not display application, if that is what was intended.

Over the past five years, I have taken the live classes by NWS personnel. This year, I was not able to get to a class so took it here on line. I think it is good to set down every two or three years and take the on line course as it brings things out you don't always hear at a class with two or three hundred people.

The examples of clouds were at times confusing. They could use more definition in the descriptions helping to identify. For example, coloraton of wall clouds, something that would definitatively identify.

I enjoyed this lesson. I am very interested in weather and weather patterns, but it has been some time since I had done any learning about weather, and this was a nice lesson to remember some of what I have forgotten over the years. It is also very intuitive for newcomers to weather relations and cloud formation.

Xjetjok
2018-03-14 19:28:13
Good use of videos/scenarios in lesson plan. Lots of interesting weather photographs but still photography does not give enough information (i.e. cloud rotation) to make a definitive judgement. I'm a retired pilot (31 years) flying in the Midwest and across the Great Plains. I developed a useful understanding of thunderstorms and got to observe many of them from high altitude. When you are at flight level 390 and are only "shoulder-high" to these big boys, you treat them with great respect and give them a wide berth. I've been struck by lightning three times in flight, down in terminal areas where deviations around thunderstorms are not always permitted.

Glad I took the course, but it could use some improvements. For example, videos aren't used for judging our ability to recognize weather phenomena; still photos are used for that. This isn't a technological issue, as videos are used to present different scenarios and how to respond to them. Quiz questions and answers can seem inconsistent as well, almost as though different people wrote them with different scenarios in mind. I had to change devices (Kindle to pc) to finish course as screen kept going black. That same page also contained a coding error that left "p class="question">" at the start of one question. Still, glad I took the course. Will review the material, especially the photo quiz.

I believe this training is something everyone should take. It establishes a solid foundation for every citizen's understanding of what they are seeing on TV from their local weather person. More importantly is the awareness that will allow them to process weather as it occurs out of doors, in real time. To have this knowledge as a baseline or foundation and then get the classroom Storm Spotter and Community Emergency response Team (C.E.R.T.) training would make anyone a better community partner as well as a more resilient community as a whole.

Photo Quiz was great. Looking at the photos, deciding what was going on, then seeing the answer helped me. It was a little unclear as to how to do it, as I missed the "Show Answers" in the upper left corner and only saw the controls in the lower right. Maybe make that more clear?

Look at some of your questions. There is nothing for example that suggests you have injuries/etc requiring calling Emergency Services. Further clarification on the question can reinforce good principles and eliminate the stump the chump BS answer...NWS should be the first phone call you make after a reportable severe weather phenomenon has passed. (True or False)a) Trueb) False

In the Quiz section the question " What is the difference between a funnel cloud and tornado?" is extremely confusing. I got an X four different times. This means that I retook the quiz four times and each time I choose an answer for this question it still came out wrong. The correct answer is clearly not among the available possible answers. This needs to be fixed. The same goes for the very last question.

The format used in the SKYWARN Spotter program is outdated by 25 years. The amateurish dialogue and sound effects with single image slides is cheap, cheesey, and not at all appealing. This is 3rd grade level at best. The intentionally obtuse wording of questions is incredibly annoying and unprofessional. The goal is to educate, not see how vaguely a question can be worded. I am a writer with a PhD in psychology, so it is not a lack of education on my part. This is obtuse and absurd and childish and unprofessional. This is just like the old "junior deputy" program the police used to do in elementary schools 40 years ago. A real Barney Fife operation.

Great training. I liked the use of mixed media in presentation and quizzes. It definitely went into a lot of detail. Would be nice to throw some videos in or adding arrows or labels to the pictures to point out some harder to see areas (like updrafts). This expanded on what I learned recently at the Storm Spotting Training we took.

In-depth and informative lesson with a multitude of examples showing the difference between actual weather phenomena and look-alikes with helpful commentary describing each photograph. I appreciated the volume of examples for training purposes. (Only constructive criticism is the question about prior experience in this subject area. None of the choices were applicable as I've never had the opportunity to learn this in school, am not employed in this field, and do not teach it, yet have been active Skywarn storm spotter for years and now through ARES/RACES. I'd suggest an additional choice as that of trained volunteer.

Very good teaching by the practice which is why i got 93 percent on the quiz.

Safety is the most important part while storm spotting; and that's not just everyone else's safety, that is your safety as well. I think it is crucial that storm spotters understand that. This learning tool teaches safety very well.

This was HARD. I'm surprised I made a 93% on it. I understand the importance of recognizing types of clouds, but I think a gallery of 155 photos all back to back without any type of individualized comments on them is excessive. After a while, your eyes just glaze over and one cloud looks like another. Also, I'd like to have seen more explanation on the difference between shelf clouds and wall clouds. To me shelf clouds look like wall clouds stacked on top of each other. The biggest thing I'd say is, I learn a lot more from listening than dry reading, so more narrative would be helpful.

I did notice a few of the questions in the quiz part were based on one action being safer than another, however it was not as clear in the lesson itself whether running or holding out in a car is safer action, and a lot depends on what you know is coming too. It would be better to train people to act based on the kind of storm or flood coming rather than just saying staying in the car vs getting out and getting into a ditch is safer during the kind of event. In a heavy flooding area for example you would not want to get into a low ditch even if the storm were coming. It just seems that they need to clarify this point a bit better.

Just as in the other section, there isn't really useful feedback on the final quiz. In addition, some of the features (wall clouds, for example) aren't explained as clearly as I'd like. It might be helpful to open up a second tab and spend some time looking at additional photos of the various features.

I think video footage would be more beneficial than still frame photos. Also, if photos are used, then using some type of highlight or arrows to point out the specific areas of the clouds being described would be greatly beneficial.

It was a good module however some of the questions and answers contained in the module itself were ambiguous and a bit too open ended for multiple choice or true/false in my opinion... The visual aspect was very good. I do agree that side by side comparison of shelf vs wall clouds (and maybe include scud and cold air funnels) would have been useful.

Better even than the Role of the Spotter course. I'd like to see video examples of the shelf clouds mixed with an actual wall cloud(s) since you can't really tell from the stills. Really like the mixed media instruction and the questions with close possible answers that make you think.

This was exactly what I was hoping to find in a Spotter's educational module. The material delivered and concepts explained were flawlessly easy to follow along and understand. I'll recommend this to all my friends and family even if they don't wish to be spotters. I feel that everyone should know or be informed of how to read or report dangerous weather. Most important, how to protect themselves.
skater314159

This is great module. If you like weather and what to know:
1) what is weather spotting?
2) who can be a weather spotter?
3) what do I need to know to be a weather spotter?
4) what is ACES? how does it help me stay safe?
5) what is convection?
6) what are storm and cloud features I might see when spotting?
7) how do I make reports to the NWS?
then this is the module for you!
You will learn all this and more in this interesting two part class that can be taken right on your computer, where ever you are!
After you take this class, you can help share knowledge of what you are seeing on the ground to your local NWS office! Who knows? You might even help saves lives and property!

This is a very useful course and employs a lot of great photographic examples to illustrate the real and look-alike phenomena Skywarn volunteers may encounter in their duties. At the end, I would highly recommend going through the Photographic quiz, think about what you see in each photo, then click for the answers to see how close you got. It took some time to do this but was extremely useful in hammering home the characteristics of clouds/storms.

The module is extremely easy to follow as it includes descriptions and the people in the videos are not talking so fast that you can't hear. It's nice, both of the modules are.

The module provided a condensed overview necessary to identify convective storms and their major components. The photo galleries were a great addition and helped to connect theory with reality as well as cement the information learned. I would encourage anyone who completes this module to also read through the Weather Spotter's Field Guide provided by the NWS, as it builds on the information covered in this module and explains the life cycles of thunderstorms in more detail.

Very informative and interesting instruction on the safe and accurate practice of Storm Spotting.
Amazing photography illustrates the various types of storm cloud formations.
I recommend it to any individual who aspires to serve their community as a SKYWARN Storm Spotter.
