Snapshot Serengeti Project

What I learned most from this course after Snapshot Serengeti is how to work with people and solve problems, and I also learned how to create different graphics. This is my first science course at the UMN. I think studying for a biology class can seem overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be. If you follow a few simple steps, studying for biology will be less stressful and more enjoyable. It’s kind of stress at first, However, I feel better about this class later on, I think nothing is easy when you don’t pay enough attention. I really enjoy the lab portion, because it is hands-on.

In most lab classes, I expected to be self-sufficient in completing the assignments, and I need to understand what is expected of that day. I think part of the skills that a laboratory class is meant to teach is how to work together. However, make sure you understand all parts of the experiment, even if you didn't actually conduct it yourself. …show more content…
The study at Africa is great, the photograph’s quality is amazing, we can see Zebras munch on dried grass, lion cubs play with their mother, giraffe go for a stroll, and birds hitch a ride on the back of a buffalo. Seeing these photos of the magnificence of life on Earth can only evoke some of that concern for our precious home and its inhabitants. It’s such a great opportunity to experience this project. I think the coolest part is that the public participation, to help sift through the millions of images, the project's researchers enlisted the help of the Zooinverse website, which hosts 'citizen science' projects. Zooniverse helps researchers classify the images by inviting the public to help identify the animals in each photo. I think this is such a clever idea that make citizen scientists to participate in the
