Bishrant-

Are they undergrad or grad students? If undergrad, freshmen, sophomore,
junior or senior? GIS major? Do they already have some level of OSM
experience? Our experience is that students with some level of
GIS/OSM/image interpretation skill can do much better job. Further some
universities engage students with careful planning while others just ask
students to map in OSM. We have found that the later does not produce
useful results. It also depends upon the goal of such an exercise. In sum,
can you send us more information?

Thanks.

Nama
