In this activity, the lecturer will provide a handout and additional details and students will work in group and develop strategies and road recovery sequence for the presented problem. This is a practical network modelling exercise that will help them to conceptualize larger-scale case studies using network science.
The main advantage of this learning activity is that each student will not only be able to apply the mathematical and theoretical knowledge that they have learned throughout the class, but also will be able to relate them to societal problems. Working-in-pair will let them brainstorm and develop working in team skills. The main disadvantage of this activity is that again it might take quite a long time unexpectedly. In addition, it is an exercise that does not have a single “correct” answer but a range of possible strategies to sequence the road segments.
