2. Add the three datasets included in the 'Projections' folder to a new ArcMap document or
data frame. Using what you learned in the tutorials and class demonstrations, align the
three datasets using a common projection and/or coordinate system. One is displayed
using a simple datum, the second with a projected coordinate system, and the third is
missing spatial reference information. The best and most practical method would be
aligning the spatial references using the dataset displayed with a simple datum rather
than assigning projections to all three. This method eliminates a large amount of
potential error and ultimately requires the least amount of work.
3. Take screenshots of the Layer Properties with the Source tab displayed for all three
datasets, showing the spatial reference information for each. You'll have to take three
separate screenshots since you can only display one at a time. Include all three on your
blog.

This assignment screenshot contains steps to convert datums by ArcMap and ArcCatalog, latter steps only used when ArcMap unable to convert.
Final datum for all data (Caves/Faults/Marble) in WGS 1984 UTM Zone 11N
Note: NAD 1983 = WGS 1984
Note: Marble did not show at layer before datum converting.
