Discussion:
Our professor, Engr. Bienvenido Cervantes gathered us for
the discussion of the things we will do for the fieldwork 6. Also, he
gave us the data we needed for the fieldwork. He gave us an
adviced to compute all the necessary data in beforehand so it
wouldnt be a problem when we start accomplishing the fieldwork.
After these, we went to the Surveying Department to borrow the
instruments we will be utilizing for Laying of a Reverse Curve
using theodolite and tape. These instruments were range poles,
30 meter tape, and theodolite. After that, we proceed to the South
Parking lot to start plotting the points and create the reverse
curve. The concept of the reverse curve was discussed before the
fieldwork. We used a different data for this fieldwork.
The first curve was just easy to lay because it is similar with
the previous fieldwork but the second was challenging because
we had to think of a way where we can lay the other curve by
using the PC. We sight for the PC and set the vernier to zero then
rotate it until the angle reaches 180 + the second intersection
angle divided by two. After that, we sight for the intermediate
points until the second curve was completed. Necessary
computations were made after the fieldwork.

Conclusion:
From the fieldwork entitled Laying of a Reverse Curve using
Theodolite and Tape, the following objectives had been achieved
and accomplished. From laying of a simple and compound curve
by using the tape, we acquired the knowledge in laying a reverse
curve with the use of the theodolite and tape. The theodolite is
