    VALMORES, John Lester N.

    BS Civil Engineering 3

    4. a. In order to improve the quality of measurements during fieldworks, I have to


    measure a particular distance several times. After that I will get the mean of these
    values. This will ensure that my measurements are accurate. Taking time to
    measure and reading carefully the instruments are another ways of improving the
    values of measurement. These will also guarantee that my observed measurements
    are close to the true value.

    b. Leveling is the most important thing Ive learned in elementary surveying that
    will be helpful in my future profession. Leveling is necessary in the planning and
    designing of roads, highways, railroads and canals. Also it is helpful in grading the
    soil which is always done in building construction.

    c. I have to be flexible in working. Being flexible not only in surveying, which has
    many task to do like being the rodman, the tapeman and the instrumentman, but
    also to my members. Sometimes I have to consider that some of my teammates
    may not know how to become an instrumentman. If thats the case, then I will try to
    understand his/her situation and guide him/her on how to perform that task.
    Teamwork is not ending in dividing the tasks among the members and perform it
    just it is, it starts in helping each other during in times of need and confusion.

    d. In order to improve coordination among my teammates, first thing to do is to


    plan. Planning is important for us to know what to do and to avoid confusion on how
    are we going to survey. Giving the assigned task to the members is part in the
    planning. Another thing is we have to improve our communication. This will make
    our surveying clear and faster.

    e. My expectations for this course have been met. Ive learned many things in this
    subject. I can say that it exceeded my expectations hahahaha. The lecture part of
    the course is great. The instructor is good in teaching. If the student didnt follow
    the procedure on how to solve a particular problem, he is willing to repeat again in
    order for that student understand the lesson. The laboratory part is the most
    exciting. We have many fieldworks during midterms. We even had the opportunity
    to conduct survey outside the school. Its a great experience. However, some of our
    instruments used are not functioning well. Especially the automatic levels during
    prelims are not functioning well aside from there is a shortage of that kind of
    instrument. It also disappointing for having measuring tapes that are not in good
    condition. But despite from these problems in instruments, overall, Ive learned a
    lot!
