Assigned Department Objectives
Teaching Method
Outline:
There are lectures and practices on calculation method of middle latitude sailing, mercator sailing
and great circle sailing on sphere in terrestrial navigation.
Style:
Lecture by a teacher
Notice:
This lecture corresponds to subjects required to study by the law for ship's officer.
The subjects are parallel sailing, middle latitude sailing, mercator sailing
and great circle sailing in terrestrial navigation.
It is evaluated by exams(70%) and reports(30%).
The recognition of credit requires a rating of 60 points or more.
