1.1.8. Self Assessment

Search the Internet for an arbitrary static screen map (not a scanned paper map!) and analyse the map. Write a short essay (ca. 3/4 A4 page) about whether the presented cartographic representation rules are applied to the map or not. You best go through the index of unit one (1.1.1. - 1.1.8.) and check the map for each point.

Hand in your essay to the tutor.
