Your fieldwork investigation<\/h2>\n
Below is the powerpoint we went through in class. You must learn what you did on the fieldwork. They can only ask you a limited number of questions. The only bits you need to add is the information on describing the methods you used, the justification of why you used the methods, the problems and suggestions to make the methods better and incorporoating some of the data you collected. You may be asked to talk about a,little bit of data you collected and then add it into you answers to\u00a0back up your points!!!!\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
