Fieldwork Design & Evaluation Quiz

Question 1

Which three qualities must a good fieldwork inquiry question have according to the material?

Accepted Answer

Manageable, measurable, and specific

Question 2

Why is a broad question like 'How is the environment changing?' considered poor for a single-day fieldwork task?

Accepted Answer

It's unmeasurable and too wide to answer within time constraints

Question 3

Which element should appear in a short risk table for fieldwork planning?

Accepted Answer

Hazard, likelihood/impact, and mitigation

Question 4

If a study site has unstable cliffs, which mitigation from the transcript is most appropriate?

Accepted Answer

Maintain distance from cliffs and supervise students closely

Question 5

Which sampling strategy uses fixed intervals along a transect to reduce site-choice bias?

Accepted Answer

Systematic sampling

Question 6

What advantage does stratified sampling provide compared with opportunistic sampling?

Accepted Answer

Ensures representation of key sub‑areas to reduce bias

Question 7

Which is a core drawback of relying only on secondary data in fieldwork conclusions?

Accepted Answer

It may be outdated or of uncertain provenance

Question 8

Why combine primary and secondary data (triangulation) in a field study?

Accepted Answer

To corroborate findings and add context to measurements

Question 9

Which example from the material is a qualitative data type used to capture 'sense of place'?

Accepted Answer

Sketches, photos, and descriptions

Question 10

Which presentation is recommended for continuous data like elevation along a transect?

Accepted Answer

Line graph

Question 11

For counting discrete categories of land use at sites, which visualisation is most appropriate?

Accepted Answer

Bar chart or compound bar

Question 12

A student uses a 1–5 noise scale without defining values. What instrument weakness does the transcript highlight?

Accepted Answer

Subjectivity and unclear category descriptors reduce reliability

Question 13

Which concrete fix was recommended for inconsistent survey responses due to ambiguous questions?

Accepted Answer

Clarify wording and give precise category definitions

Question 14

How does increasing sample size and repeating visits affect reliability?

Accepted Answer

They increase reliability and reduce the effect of anomalies

Question 15

When asked in the unseen exam to critique another student's method, which causal link should you emphasise?

Accepted Answer

How method choice leads to specific bias or error and affects conclusions

Question 16

Which map presentation would be poor for showing discrete land‑use categories across sites?

Accepted Answer

Isopleth map

Question 17

If survey participation is low at busy times, what practical change does the material recommend?

Accepted Answer

Adjust timing or increase sampling effort to collect more responses

Question 18

Which advantage does quantitative data provide that complements qualitative observations?

Accepted Answer

Provides measurable trends that can be analysed statistically

Question 19

When justifying a chosen sampling strategy in planning, what must you explicitly include?

Accepted Answer

Predefined method, sample size, and why it reduces bias

Question 20

In an evaluation paragraph, how should you treat a subjective instrument like interviews to strengthen conclusions?

Accepted Answer

Acknowledge subjectivity and recommend triangulation with quantitative measures
