Comparing the sketch I drew from memory for this assignment to a map I bought when I arrived here in Cambridge three weeks ago, it stroke me that there were vast areas on the campus and in the city I did not know – let alone how they looked like.…

Overall, I think my sketch is representative of the urban area surrounding Harvard Square. It was a challenging task, but lots of things are successful about the drawing, and are similar to the actual layout. In my sketch, the roads including…

I feel my memory map of Harvard University (stretching from the athletic facilities to the Quad) is actually fairly accurate as (for the record) I did almost this exact same assignment for a class I took first semester called Primitive Navigation. In…
