Assigned Department Objectives

Teaching Method

Outline:
Lectures will be carried out mainly on basic surveying, concept of surveying, method of surveying, the relationship between theoretical background and mathematical knowledge of surveying, and on error and accuracy.
Style:
Classes will be conducted in a lecture style in line with the textbook. Practice questions will be given as appropriate to check the students' understanding, and report assignments will be given to deepen their understanding.
The overall evaluation will be based on 60% on written exams, 30% on assignments, and 10% on attitude toward class activities. The minimum score for a pass will be 60%.
Notice:
Bring your scientific calculator.
This course will amount to 90 hours of study in total. These hours include the learning time guaranteed in classes and the standard self-study time required for pre-study / review, and completing assignment reports.
Students who miss 1/3 or more of classes will not be eligible for evaluation.
