Title: Encinitas-Beach Profiling Virtual Lab Analysis

This assignment involves participating in the online 2 Encinitas-Beach Profiling Virtual Lab Read the website from start to finish and complete the WEB-LAB at the end of the lab. Please clip in questions before your answers.
Note: Some people have a problem with one of the graphs not showing up, it some kind of computer gremlin thing. If this happens to you, try a different browser or computer. You can’t do the lab without all the data.
Description: This exercise will familiarize students with the processes that sculpt the beach in our local area. It will require more thought on some aspects of the lab as it represents actual field conditions, which are not always as straight forward as textbook examples. A bit of struggling is not always bad, but if you are having problems let me know and I will help as much as possible.
Questions to answer: 
Part 1: Use the Beach Dynamics Section answer the following questions.
a.       Which general direction do the waves come from in the winter vs. the summer?
b.      Which direction is the longshore current in the winter vs. the summer?
c.       Which is the most dominant longshore transport/drift direction (north or south)?
d.      Describe the differences in the wave and current energy in the winter vs. the summer.
e.       Describe the materials found on the beach in terms of grain size (ie: sand, gravel, and cobbles) in the summer vs. the winter.
f.        Describe the sand transport differences (on and offshore) in the summer vs. the winter.
g.       The beach nourishment program dumped sand that was coarser than the existing beach sand.  Why would they want to do this?
h.       How do tidal changes from summer to winter effect coastal erosion?  Be specific.
=================================================================
Part 2: Using the data and plots generated in the Data Analysis Section answer the following questions.
1) Using Figure #2a (2001-2004 data) in the Data Analysis Section, on average is the beach larger or smaller during this period than when measured in the summer of 2001 (before the beach nourishment project was begun)? 
b) For the summer data, describe the maximum height (in centimeters) above or below the 2001 data.
c) For the winter data describe the maximum height (in centimeters) above or below the 2001 data.
2) Using Figure #2b (2004-present data) in the Data Analysis Section, is the beach larger or smaller during this period than when measured in the summer of 2001 (before the beach nourishment project was begun)? 
b) For the summer data, describe the maximum height (in centimeters) above or below the 2001 data.
c) For the winter data describe the maximum height (in centimeters) above or below the 2001 data.
3) For the period 2001 to 2004, explain why you think dumping the extra sand on the beach has been successful or not. Support your conclusions using data supplied on Figure #2a and information from the Beach Nourishment Section.
4) For the period 2004 to present, explain why you think dumping the extra sand on the beach has been successful or not. Support your conclusions using data supplied on Figure #2b and information from the Beach Nourishment Section.
5) Is there any part of this Web-lab you would improve?  Did you find any specific parts hard to follow or understand?

“Final Exam Part B: Short and Long Answer Responses, Calculations, and Drawing Figures”

The final exam is an asynchronous exam, which means that it can be taken any time between 9:00am on May 13th and 11:59pm on May 17th. It consists of two parts (Part A and Part B), which must both be completed. This page is for Part B of the final exam, which will consist of short answer, long answer, calculations, drawing figures, etc.
You can start Part B of the final at any time during the weeklong exam period and there is no time limit. You must download the attached PDF document and re-upload the document with your responses by 11:59pm on May 17th. You can either print the exam and complete it manually or use PDF editing software to complete it electronically, but all responses must be legible in your submission to receive full credit! Also keep in mind that the expectation for a take-home exam is for students to provide detailed responses. Answers lacking sufficient detail will not receive full credit.
While taking Part B of the final please do not use the internet. This is for your own protection! Google is not your friend in this class and will likely give you the wrong answer. Yes, it is very obvious when an answer is Googled, and yes, it is considered cheating. You will receive a zero on this exam if you are caught cheating. You are able to use the lecture videos, PDF lecture slides, and your own personal notes, assignments, or quizzes, but do not discuss the exam with anyone until after the deadline.

Exploring Placentia: A Geographic Analysis of My City through the Lens of Donald Meinig

For this paper, you will read the article, The Beholding Eye, written by geographer Donald Meinig. He has some very interesting and geographic ways of looking at cities. I want you to understand more about your city. Then you will choose 5 of the different ways he looks at landscapes and use it as you analyze your own city. My city is Placentia, CA. Make sure you read and understand what he means by each category and then make your choice. Your paper will be 3-4 pages, typed and double-spaced. It will be a college-level writing paper. Look over the rubric I have posted on Canvas.  Understand the qualities of a good paper. 
Now is the time to dig into your City. Research online about its history, how it was founded. What was here before all of the houses? What makes it unique? What types of housing? What are the most beautiful places? Who made significant contributions to your city? Read the article and get to know your city on a deeper level.
Make sure you use citations, and have a works cited page. You can use online sources. Cities have websites, they have history sections, they have parks department and other places to look for information. Also, there are books an articles written about most of our cities so there are plenty of resources.
An example – A really unique and beautiful place in Placentia, my city, is Tri-City Regional Park. A regional park means that it is protected by more than one city ( Artman, 1998). Tri-City Park is protected by Brea, Fullerton, and Placentia (City of Placentia website). This helps in funding the park for maintenance and making improvements. Now, I can talk about looking at this through the historical lens, or sense of place lens, or one of the other ways Meinig looks at cities. 
If you are going to define “sense of place” you can look it up for definition (or quote Meinig, or if I have explained it in a presentation, use that. I have attached Meinig to this description as an attachment.
You will use many sources (at least 4 including Meinig’s article). You must use the Meinig Article, and use your textbook, use the City’s website, or maybe your city has a Historical Committee.
Make sure you add a Works Cited Page and cite your sources in your writing. You can use APA, MLA, Chicago Style or ask me about others. Refer to the Purdue Owl Webpage for information on citations. 
https://owl.purdue.edu
This is worth up to 100 points so do great work.
This is in place of a final exam, so it cannot be turned in after May 13.
This is the name of the book:  State of the World: Can a City Be Sustainable?
