{"title":"No stupid questions","authors":"Timothy Brown, J. Becvar, J. Noveron, Geoffrey Saupe","doi":"10.1144/geosci2020-108","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1144/geosci2020-108","url":null,"abstract":"In general chemistry peer-led workshops at the University of Texas at El Paso, we place great emphasis on the establishment of mutual trust between students and the peer leader from the get-go. This generates a positive learning team where students develop a high degree of comfort and are not afraid to ask questions, even questions so basic as to be referred with the ugly expression ‘stupid questions’. Workshops include hands-on, experimental activities called Explorations. These spark curiosity and lead to many questions. Students are generally not comfortable enough to ask questions in lecture; providing PLTL workshops directly addresses this issue. Comfort and trust in Workshop creates a learning environment where students are not afraid to ask questions of any type, where those student-led questions help eliminate the simple memorization of facts, and where students are able to think and act as problem-solvers to comprehend concepts. Background and Introduction Who is brave enough to ask questions in a lecture where there is the always-looming fear of feeling mentally inferior not only to the professor, but also to one’s peers? The answer is: only a select few. Also, more often than not, these students (who do ask questions in class) are the students at the top of the class. Getting the students who are not excelling in collegiate science courses (or really getting students in any course, at any level) to ask questions is an ever-present issue in the educational world that we believe is directly combated through Peer-Led Team Learning (PLTL) (Gosser and Roth, 1998; Gosser, et al, 2001; Cracolice, et al, 2001) workshops. The small class size of workshop enhances openness in the PLTL setting. Better relationship building and a greater level of trust is generated in the small group of 16 students (one of those students being the peer-leader) than in an environment of 150 students and a professor, or what generally is the lecture environment of any moderately-large introductory-level collegiate science course. The pool of learning scholars represented by a functional team in PLTL workshop allows for more one-on-one help not only that of the peer leader to students, but also in regard to the more able-student to the borderline-foundering student type. Curiosity-induced question-asking is the foundation of all science, and really all knowledge. Therefore, the thought of “asking a stupid question” should be promoted, not ridiculed. A fear that nearly everyone feels at one point or another in a lifetime can arise with not immediately comprehending something that is being described in the learning environment: the fear of appearing to make a fool of one’s self or that the question on one’s mind will be considered a stupid question.

Digital elevation model and visualization will used for geomorphological mapping, geospatial database, urban planning and etc. Large scale topographic mapping in the world countries is really a prominent challenge in geospatial industries today. The purpose of this work is to integrate laser scanner data with the ones generated by aerial photogrammetry from UAV, to produce detailed maps that can used by geodetic engineers to optimize their analysis. In addition, terrestrial - based LiDAR scans and UAV photogrammetric data were collected in Sharga hill in the north zone of Mongolia. In this paper, different measurement technology and processing software systems combined for topographic mapping in the data processing scheme. UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) projected coordinate system calculated in WGS84 reference ellipsoid. Feature compilation involving terrestrial laser scanner data and UAV data will integrated to offer Digital Elevation Models (DEM) as the main interest of the topographic mapping activity. Used UAV generate high-resolution orthomosaics and detailed 3D models of areas where no data, are available. That result issued to create topographic maps with a scale of 1:1000 of geodetic measurements. Preliminary results indicate that discontinuity data collection from UAV closely matches the data collected using laser scanner.","PeriodicalId":52647,"journal":{"name":"Mongolian Geoscientist","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41680022","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the area, middle-late Devonian alkali dykes of the Khalzan Complex are hosted in the middle-late Cambrian granodiorite-tonalite of the Togthohiinshil Complex. The alkali dykes of the Khalzan complex comprise medium- to fine-grained syenite, microsyenite, syenite-porphyry and trachyte, trachyrhyolite, and trachyandesite. The dykes are replaced to silica, sericite, albite, fluorite and are brecciated. They crosscut by quartz and quartz-carbonate veinlets. The dykes contain zircon (>0.19% Zr) with a total of rare earth elements oxides >0.1%. The host rocks of the Togtokhiinshil complex are mid-K, metaluminous, I- type granite, depleted in HFSE. Based on geochemical and mineralogical data, economic REE mineralization is concentrated in syenite and syenite porphyry of calc-alkaline high K to shoshonite series of A- type granite, emplaced at within a plate setting. Syenite dykes are enriched in REE. Ore minerals are zircon, apatite, sphene, monazite, xenotime, synchysite, parisite, fluorite and REE complex minerals, pyrite, rutile and limonite. Magmatic, metasomatic and hydrothermal processes significantly contributed to the formation of Zr, Nb, REE and Y mineralization at the Ulaan Del deposit.","PeriodicalId":52647,"journal":{"name":"Mongolian Geoscientist","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71015147","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
