I think that the surveying article should have been read earlier in the semester. We’ve talked a lot about “why” maps or the social significance of maps but we’ve been missing key information about how maps are made. I think this info gives us greater insight into why/how maps developed the way that they did. All in all I really don’t care about maps. We need to find a way to make it more relevant. Think: how are maps influential in politicla campaigning? and we could do research and projects around creating our own campaign trail/marketing to different demographics. That would be engagin. One thing I will give the article is that it was a pretty easy read for a more scientific/factual piece and I greatly prefer it to Crampton.
