Folks:
Clark Labs is reading the current discussion of lab kit pricing with
interest. We would very much welcome further comment.
I would like to take advantage of this time when you are thinking about
setting up labs and teaching with IDRISI to ask for your input on another
issue.
I am currently revising the IDRISI Tutorial Exercises for use with the new
32-bit version. Many people have contacted us in the past for answers to
the questions in the tutorial. For people who are trying to learn GIS and
IDRISI on their own, without the benefit of instructor or fellow students,
the answers to the questions are the only feedback available to them.
Because of this, I am planning to include the answers to the questions at
the end of each exercise.
However, before I ship the tutorial off to the printer, I would like to
know how this will impact instructors. Are using student response to those
questions for evaluation purposes? How will the inclusion of the answers
impact your teaching?
In our own teaching, we normally have the answers to the questions in the
tutorial on display in the lab and we evaluate students on a different set
of questions that we change each semester.
Keeping the answers out of the manual but available on the web or by
request is another option, but this will do little to limit student access
and is an inconvenience to others. Including a printed copy of the answers
in all packages except student licenses is not a good option because many
of our student users are learning IDRISI on their own.
I would welcome any comments, suggestions, and ideas.
