Lab and Field:

Group
project destinations and resources
- Charmlee Park teams (Alpha, Beta, and Gamma) need to
transfer their field data entry forms to an electronic form. Create new tabs
for each transect you did, highlight the original data sheet, copy it, and
paste it into each of your tabs. I've just uploaded all the past data
collected in Charmlee Park by your predecessors who worked in the same areas
you did. You can eventually put your data in this format and simply add it to
this form by inserting an appropriate number of columns starting in Column AQ.
- Sepulveda Dam Basin team (Epsilon) also need to create an
electronic version of your field data entry forms.
- Project PigeonWatch teams (Zeta and the repurposed Delta)
need to gather all the data collected this semester by any student who didn't
go on the Sepulveda Dam field trip (10 people) and your own PigeonWatches.
These will be paper field forms. Get me a copy of each one and then use your
duplicates to enter the data into two spreadsheets, following the directions
in https://home.csulb.edu/~rodrigue/geog330/PigeonWatch/F21/
