The most important quality for the hand written notes in surveying is clarity.
If a mistake is found in the hand written notes it must be erased completely.
Regarding surveying data, usually less data is considered better to avoid
having too much information and get confused.
Using a ruler to measure a box in front of you is an example of an indirect
observation.
The true value of an observation can be known if you use the correct
instrument to measure it.
In technical terms, mistake and error, are practically the same thing.
Natural errors are those caused by the human senses (such as sight and
touch).
There are three types of error discussed in class, systematic, unknown and
random errors.
Random errors tend to partially cancel themselves in a series of
observations.
A discrepancy is the difference between two observed values of the same
quantity.
