My map is fairly accurate in the locations where I spend the most time, I struggled to draw and map out locations where I rarely or never go. I was surprised at how inaccurate my scale was and I had to essentially create roads which I believed or…

I started off the sketch quite unconfident in my memory of Harvard’s campus (and also in my ability to draw). However, comparing it to Google’s map of Harvard, my sketch does capture the locations of the Harvard Law School, the Yard, the Quad, and…
