I am sure that you found some topics more challenging  than the rest,  so may be you want to know some more about completing those exercises in those topics. This discussion forum would be an opportunity to discuss these challenging topics with your peers, or to request more information about other topics from your peers.

The exercise that I found to be challenging for me would have to be the topographic profiles module. This topic in particular was difficult for me to understand because the features of the topographic profiles shown seemed to be hard to district and tell apart. Though what I had most trouble understanding would be how to calculate vertical scales, elevations and figuring out the overall exaggeration of that specific profile. If anyone understood this module I would appreciate how you understood the exercise and how you completed it.

The topic that I found most challenging was the Topographic Maps. This topic was challenging for me because I was confused when it asked me to find areas in the Redondo Beach Quadrangle. When I used the Google Earth link that was provided in the quiz, I had trouble understanding the location points. I would like to know more about how to find the area of a location using Google Earth Map. I would also like to learn more about how to find the value of the highest contour of a location.
