Discussion
Steptoe: (Pick 3)
- What do you think of the control the control scheme for the tail? If you were to redesign it what would would you do? If you were to add other kinds of feedback besides making the tail purely visual, what would you do?
-
What do you think of the Threat design? Do you think this threat stage helps determine ownership? Use the results shown in the paper to back up your argument
- Based on the material in the tables and charts propose a hypothesis that is not outlined in the paper. Discuss for a paragraph.
- Find a topic that you interesting, dubious, or curious and explain why.
