Gathering Data: 11\/5 to 11\/15<\/strong><\/p>\n My plan is to present each participant with a campus map and have them draw their\u00a0ideal mental map\u00a0to the best of their ability. I will have questions ready to help them\u00a0\u00a0jog their memory so that they don’t forget any important spaces that might seem so routine in their daily schedule that they don’t even consider it. I will need to ask more than 1 person per ‘variable set’ in order to avoid a map that is only specific to certain people instead of certain types<\/span> of students.<\/p>\n Making the Exhibit<\/strong><\/p>\n Part 1: 11\/15 to 11\/20<\/strong><\/p>\n With my numerous campus maps with drawn mental maps on them, I will average each variable set to form a mental map that isn’t extremely general or specific. For example, the map of a sophomore\/athlete\/Patterson Court Organization student could include information from a wrestler in Kappa Sigma, a football player in Phi Delta Theta, and a field hockey player from Connor House.<\/p>\n Part 2: 11\/20-11\/30<\/strong><\/p>\n Once I have the averages of the mental maps, I will use either Google Map Engine or Neatline (I’m leaning heavily towards Neatline) to create my project. I plan on using the default view for the base map and applying different colored routes and buildings for each variable set. Instead of toggling variables on and off, the user will click through the exhibit by the tabs on the right side. Accompanied with the different routes and colored buildings, I will include a description explaining why there are similarities in differences between certain maps, and potentially<\/strong> include a tour of each map using Google tour builder<\/a>. The exhibit should be completed by 11\/30.<\/p>\n Last: 12\/1-possible last deadline<\/strong><\/p>\n At this point, my project should be winding down to being finished. Once\u00a0I have completed my exhibit, I will take the remaining time to add any extra features or\u00a0fine tune other parts. I can also have\u00a0people use it before\u00a0I present it to get their opinions.\u00a0I believe that\u00a0my argument\u00a0will create an argument about how the campus is used by certain types of students. Furthermore, it will be exciting to see how much or how little of a change there is between maps of different types of students.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For my project, I will create an exhibit that will allow users to see and have\u00a0a basic idea of the map of a certain type of Davidson College student.
