Survival at Sea

Intro:

• Given a situation of being on a life boat at sea with 15 items
• Told to organize them 1-15 making 1 most important to 15 as least important

My top two choices:

• shaving mirror
• water

My teams choices:

• My group and I agreed that food and water was top priority
• My group thought that the fishing kit and misquote net were pretty high while i didn't
• another thing that my group ranked differently than me was the shaving mirror (could be used as a signal for help by reflecting sunlight)
• We ranked gasoline similar because it could be used as a signal for help
• The group decided how to rank items by discussing what uses they could give and what was right for the situation

Expert Prioritization:

• shaving mirror, water, food, gasoline were ranked at the top
• The top priorities focused on essentials to survive and call for help
• I thought there were no surprises between the group list and actual
• I put more weight into experimental data because it actual proves that your theory or theories will work
