SUMMARY REPORT - SEC | S20W6: "The Use of Drones in Agriculture"

Hello Agro participants,

Welcome to the weekly summary of our competition, organized by Team-Agro as part of the ongoing Steemit Engagement Challenge (SEC) season 20. For this last and sixth week's report, from 14th to 20th October 2024, we hosted an exciting topic for the week under review, the theme "The Uses of Drones in Agriculture".

The week's topic gave us more insights and the opportunity to look into some of the most important concerns about drones' impact on the agricultural sector. Emphasis on the benefits and applications has given us some vital views on how much our economies have been stimulated through the use of drones relative to food security and sustainability. A proper understanding of this overview would help improve both human, socio-economic, and environmental challenges.

However, during the week's engagement, students showed extremely applaudable entries with detailed analysis of all task questions. During reviews, there was a lot of practical knowledge shared as they explored the impacts of drones in the agricultural space. Many insights received were commendable while.

This summary report represents an analysis of all submissions made while capturing the real and hands-on agro-initiatives of different students. It also brings a clearer understanding of all mentioned task questions vis-a-vis the economy, and I urge us to also find time to go through the links posted in the comment section for more insights. Every entry posted came with its own knowledge and shared details.

Entry Statistics

For week six entries, we received a total of 36 entries, with all demonstrating an applaudable level of compliance bearing in mind the rules and guidelines. The outcomes were deserving of all these valid entries recorded having satisfied the need to handle tasks given. However, we had a case of guideline abuse after detecting a high percentage of AI use in content.

Entry Performance

A good number of entries captured for the week under review made excellent and good entries. While 89% were categorized under excellent entries, 8% were rated as good quality. These two major and acceptable score qualities had a combined performance of 97%, which demonstrates the student's in-depth understanding and hands-on knowledge regarding the topic "the use of drones in agriculture."

However, we have a 3% rating for poor quality distribution, which is quite infinitesimal to the total entries reviewed. A case where these entries were flagged for use of AI materials This does not remove the fact that there were other warnings recorded during the review. We hope those affected stay clear from further infractions, no matter how insignificant, as total free indulgence is the watchword. Hence, this also played a role in our decision while making our top five (5) selections for the week.

While we continue in the season's teaching challenge, we must continue on the path of making original and course-related contributions that are both beneficial to all, bearing in mind the need to adhere accordingly to the rules guiding our participation.

Top Users This Week

After a keen evaluation process, we accessed the student's quality entry as a major determinant in the selection process while strongly taking into cognizance their adherence to all stipulated rules as required.

In addition, there were students with slight warnings or no warnings due to little fragment traces of AI. They may be insignificant, but they also matter to us, but this would not be given a pass for a reward presentation. Subsequently, a review to completely flag such publications would be made as the case may be in future contests.

We have made our selection based on outstanding articles that provided quality content on the topic of discussion. Here are the five participants we recognized for this week:

Ranking	Usernames	Article
1	@kouba01	link
2	@sailawana	link
3	@hisgeneral	link
4	@yahnel	link
5	@muzack1	link

Conclusion

We are glad with the participation and percentage of quality content seen for the week. It was a nice turnout, having 36 participants with 97% genuinely responding with quality publications. We look forward to a larger participation in our next learning season if given the job again.

We will want to thank all participants for their quality contributions while we encourage students to stay away from plagiarism, word spinning, and the use of AI.

Regards,
