Surveying Student is a quest for level 45. It is step 2 of 3 in the Legion Archaeology storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Highmountain at 46.9, 60.4.
The reason I sent for someone was that I've been having trouble keeping up with my research and training my assistant.
I was hoping you might be able to show him the ropes again. Get him reacquainted with surveying.
Just speak with him when you're ready to go.

That is what the quest item whistle is for, to call Luron back to you when you need him.
It seems that the new "golden" digsites of patch 7.2 don't count towards the quest. I tried one of those and there was no quest progress. Afterwards I tried one of the regular digsites and the quest progressed as normal.
Update: This is either extremely buggy or has been hotfixed. I completed my quest today (03/31) and got the last two points with one of the golden digsites.

If you lose Luron, there is an Archaeologist's Whistle in your bags to summon him back. I spent so long getting frustrated with this quest and heading back to the questgiver to pick him back up - just whistle and he shall come :D

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Let's see, one... two... three... oh, hello <name>. Sorry I didn't see you come in. Things have been hectic around here. I could really use an assistant. I do have something for you though, a fellow archaeologist named Lessah has been asking for someone to help her in Highmountain.
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
I've been looking into the history of Huln Highmountain, a legendary warrior from the War of the Ancients whom this very land is named after. Allegedly some of his personal effects were carried here after his death and have been lost in time.
Legion Archaeology has 3 steps, from History of Highmountain to Neltharion's Lair: Misdirected.
Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Highmountain (3).
Steps of this storyline count toward:
Steps, storylines and map placement from the client’s QuestLine, prerequisite and QuestPOI data; neighbouring quest text is Blizzard’s own (quest API), shortened to its opening sentences.
