Provides an overview of the fundamentals of agricultural production systems and the sources of crop variability. Explores geographic positioning and information systems, examining how these tools integrate yield and quality sensors to monitor spatial variability. Covers temporal observation techniques using remote and proximal sensing systems. Culminates in studying the technologies used for implementing and managing variable-rate prescriptions and other management interventions. ### requirements text Sophomore standing ### credit offering ids None recorded. ### llm job id enrich-8b774950c2b6adfdc46d1b82 ### llm output id 4861d1e3453530845488f5b8ed844362d4dac1883199ec61d44ce7d50389caa3 ### llm model nvidia/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-NVFP4 ### llm model revision 1355db6a052410cfd62085d94b58866fd0f2c3c5 ### llm task version 14 ### llm search status valid ### llm summary Introduction to Precision Agriculture covers managing agricultural production systems, spatial variability monitoring, and variable-rate prescription technologies. ### llm topics * Precision Agriculture and smart/digital farming * Geographic positioning and information systems * Remote and proximal sensing systems * Variable-rate prescriptions and management interventions ### llm skills * Managing agricultural production systems using Precision Agriculture * Integrating yield and quality sensors to monitor spatial variability * Implementing and managing variable-rate prescriptions ### llm assumed background * Sophomore standing ### llm search phrases * precision agriculture * smart farming * variable-rate prescriptions * remote sensing * geographic information systems * agricultural production systems ### llm requirements status valid ### llm student summary status valid ### llm experience status insufficient\_evidence ### catalog variants None recorded. ### student summary #### context hash bcea1bcdd60f36a3fc3a15b073c06c181e606f3a12d010b987da926581981564 #### course id BSE 305 #### current instructors None recorded. #### difficulty workload None recorded. #### errors None recorded. #### historical context None recorded. #### message No course-specific reviews available #### offered false #### profile hash 5cb4dabf887cdbcd8c00d5a1312e10828b95c63f30bc3ea76aea199565390d02 #### quick take Recent recorded grades — Fall 2025: 3.55 GPA, 78.6% A/AB (n=28 letter grades). ```json { "citations": [ { "course_id": "BSE 305", "run_id": "20260907T155543-ce3781c4", "source_record": { "entity_id": "e7fb2908-ad0b-31c9-bbca-2ef1b48c6167", "file": "tables/observations.parquet", "kind": "grades", "source": "madgrades" }, "table": "grades_latest", "term_id": "1262", "type": "grade" } ] } ``` #### student experience None recorded. #### task hash 74fb0997943e888960bbc9e47db8c4fd12e4292d55c20509d8d89db6a9910f68 #### teaching history None recorded. #### term id 1272 #### term name 2026 Fall #### version 2 ### requirements #### nodes ```json [ { "children": [], "condition": "Sophomore standing", "course": null, "evidence": "Sophomore standing", "id": "n0", "kind": "condition" } ] ``` #### notes None recorded. #### root n0 #### status parsed ### instructors None recorded. ### offerings None recorded. ### sections None recorded. ### grade instructors ```json [ { "instructor_uid": "instructor_7896f9bd6a0f3587304b0ea5", "source": "madgrades", "source_instructor_id": "3016588", "identity_basis": "source_id", "identity_status": "source_identified", "name": "MATTHEW DIGMAN", "email": null, "first_observed_at": "2026-09-06 23:14:58.172943+00:00", "last_observed_at": "2026-09-07 15:55:43.033547+00:00", "grade_statistics": { "gpa": 3.537, "graded": 610, "counts": [ 312, 152, 79, 41, 16, 6, 4 ], "sections": 38 }, "instructor_url": "/instructors/MATTHEW_DIGMAN--instructor_7896f9bd6a0f3587304b0ea5" } ] ``` ### grades ```json [ { "run_id": "20260907T155543-ce3781c4", "semester": "1272", "observed_at": "2026-09-07 15:55:43.033547+00:00", "course_id": "BSE 305", "course_uid": "course_87c027bf1a1d8233b412fb99", "term_id": "1262", "term_name": "Fall 2025", "instructors": [ "Matthew Digman" ], "a": 16, "ab": 6, "b": 2, "bc": 1, "c": 3, "d": 0, "f": 0, "satisfactory": 0, "unsatisfactory": 0, "credit": 0, "no_credit": 0, "passed": 0, "incomplete": 0, "no_work": 0, "not_reported": 0, "other": 0, "total": 28, "source_aliases": [ "BSE 305" ] } ] ``` ### statistics #### gpa 3.554 #### graded 28 #### counts * 16 * 6 * 2 * 1 * 3 * 0 * 0 ### grade conflicts None recorded. ### evidence #### history * [/data/e243353dcb7d79b7247ced91d69443ef4c2a6349/history/course\_87c027bf1a1d8233b412fb99-0.json](https://uwcourses.com/data/e243353dcb7d79b7247ced91d69443ef4c2a6349/history/course_87c027bf1a1d8233b412fb99-0.json) #### traces * [/data/e243353dcb7d79b7247ced91d69443ef4c2a6349/traces/course\_87c027bf1a1d8233b412fb99-0.json](https://uwcourses.com/data/e243353dcb7d79b7247ced91d69443ef4c2a6349/traces/course_87c027bf1a1d8233b412fb99-0.json) #### results * [/data/e243353dcb7d79b7247ced91d69443ef4c2a6349/results/course\_87c027bf1a1d8233b412fb99-0.json](https://uwcourses.com/data/e243353dcb7d79b7247ced91d69443ef4c2a6349/results/course_87c027bf1a1d8233b412fb99-0.json) ### revision e243353dcb7d79b7247ced91d69443ef4c2a6349 ##
