Module 5 Quiz

You can submit your answers to these questions via the Module 5 Quiz on Canvas. Questions are listed here with hyperlinks to the relevant section of the lab if you need help finding answers.

Rubric

Written answers and maps will be evaluated using the rubric below and your TA will provide brief comments where applicable.

  • If you need more feedback you can follow up with your TA via email or in lab.
  • Categories are just general guides
    • Your TA may assign scores between these levels
Category Written Answers Map/Chart Submissions Score
Missing N/A N/A 0%
Insufficient Missing major key points or serious logical flaws Serious errors in analysis, missing data, or major stylistic issues 25%
Below Expectations Missing a few key points or minor logical flaws Minor errors in analysis or multiple stylistic issues 50%
Meets Expectations Hits key points and mostly well constructed Error free analysis, minor stylistic issue 75%
Exceeds Expectations Clearly thought out, concise, and astute Error free analysis and clean, aesthetically pleasing map 100%

Written Answers

Written answers can be brief but they should adequately answer the question.

  • Bullet point format is okay unless otherwise specified

File Submissions

Map/charts/figures will be evaluated for completeness and aesthetics.

  • Files should be saved as using the file type specified (.pdf, .png, etc.)
    • Make sure to double check the file before uploading!

Quiz Questions

Unless otherwise specified, numeric answers have a margin of error of 0.01, so give all responses to at least the hundredths place.

1 What does the example presented in Ludwin et al. 2005 say about the value that the sciences have historically attributed to traditional knowledge when it comes to understanding our world?

2 The maximum wave height recorded at Tofino was only __ meters. Despite this, wave heights exceeded 8 meters in Port Alberni.

3 Look back at Ludwin et al. 2005, specifically at the story of Pachena Bay (bottom pg 142 to top of pg 143). You can find a full transcription here. Find Pachena Bay on google maps. Where is it relative to Port Alberni? What can you infer from this story, the account in Fine et al (2008), and the simulation of wave heights about how a megathrust earthquake occurring just off of the coast of Vancouver Island would impact Port Alberni?

4 Why do we use a feature dataset to hold all our input layers?

  • No reason
  • So everything is neatly grouped in one folder
  • To ensure all our vector data is in the same projection, the feature dataset will automatically re-project our vector data when importing
  • To ensure all our vector and raster data is in the same projection, the feature dataset will automatically re-project our vector and raster data when importing

5 Why are we using model builder for this analysis? Select all that apply

  • Your analysis is easily repeatable when using model builder
  • You can easily update your analysis
  • You can visualize your workflow
  • You can share your workflow with others

6How many km of roads are at risk? Rounded to the nearest tenth km is fine. Hint Open the attribute, of PA_Roads_Flood, click right Click Shape_Length » Statistics to find the sum. Note make sure to use the answer for the model run with the 10m threshold.

7 How many residential properties (sum of Residential and Multi-Family Residential) are are at risk? Reference the bar chart you created. Note make sure to use the answer for the model run with the 10m threshold.

8 How many km of roads are at risk after updating the model to account for the new wave height estimates? Rounded to the nearest tenth km is fine. Note this answer will be higher than your answer to Question 16 because we increased the threshold.

9 How many properties (of any kind) are at risk of flooding?

10 How many people are potentially at risk of displacement? Round up to the nearest whole number

11 Why were you instructed to round the answer to the question above?
