Objectives

The course is divided in 3 particles. The aim of the first particle is to
get acquainted with the principles of geodesy, such as models of the earth,
co-ordinate systems, reference systems, geodesical datum, ... The aim of the
second particle is to provide an understanding of the methods used to
represent the earth on a map. The different map projections and
constructions are treated systematically together with the characteristics
of each map. The aim of the third particle is to learn about techniques that
are used when the ordinary land surveying methods and equipment are no
longer sufficient to gather the necessary information.

Assessment
Oral examination (written preparation)

However, if a student gains a score of 7 or less on 20 on one of the different courses (parts of training items), he proves that his skill for certain subcompetencies is insufficient. Consequently, one can turn from the arithmetical calculation of the final assignment of quotas of a training item and the new marks can be awarded on consensus. Of course the examiners can judge that the arithmetic regulations mentioned in the study index card can also be used for 7 or less. For each deviation a detailed motivation ought to be drawn up. In that case one should point out that the skill for this subcompetency is proven to be insufficient, if the student didn’t pass the partim that is considered to be important for certain subcompetencies.
