abstract

A figure panel featuring a spider web, the location of the web, and a map of campus that shows the location of both of where both of these images was created and a methods section was written that described how these images were taken and placed together to create a figure panel. This methods section was then given to a different student and class to be followed and a second figure was created based on the methods describing the first figure panel. Once the second figure was constructed and posted, I used it to finish this assignment and analyze and discuss the differences found between the two figures and why they occurred. This assignment was not fully successful because although the figure panels are similar, there were many differences that occurred in each image within the figure panel. This assignment shows the importance of a clear and precise methods section because there can be a lot of room for error when creating something based solely on an only word description. Following someone else’s methods can be difficult because you might not have access to the same materials and other factors such as camera angles and placement can result in different images.
