This user is a student editor in Human Factors of Aviation Class at UWO. Student assignments should always be carried out using a course page set up by the instructor. It is usually best to develop assignments in your sandbox. After evaluation, the additions may go on to become a Wikipedia article or be published in an existing article.
Hi! My name is Hseong2[1] and I am a 4th year student in Commercial Aviation Management at UWO. As of right now, I am re-learning all aspects of Wikipedia[2]. I am currently participating in a project (Human Factors of Aviation class) where I must create an article related to human factors in aviation. I am here to learn as well as contribute my knowledge to articles that are related to what I am studying.
Pros about Wikipedia: Many informative articles are just one click away and free. Very convenient. Saves time.
Cons about Wikipedia: Some users distort information on a particular article (some articles have bias). Not all articles are reliable because they are subject to change due to users' conflicts of interest. Bad-faithed users are constantly vandalizing articles.
Fatigue (safety) under "In Aviation": In 2009, Aerospace Medical Association listed long duty work hours, insufficient sleep, and circadian disruptions as few of the largest contributing factors to pilot fatigue. [3]
Aerospace Medical Association: Added "Mission" section and statement: The Aerospace Medical Association's mission is to raise awareness of health, safety, and performance of individuals working in aerospace-related field through application of scientific method.[4]
