Examination 60%
Assignments 40%
Examination (Divisional) 60%
Examination of two hours' duration, consisting of:
- Ten definitions 15%
- Ten short-answer essays 40%
- Three selections and constructions 20%
- Three computations 25%
A candidate is required to gain at least half of the

Candidates failing one of the components may apply
for a partial exemption from the other which would
remain valid for 12 months thenceforth.
Laboratory Assignments 40%
Four assignments (25 marks each) using available
computergraphic systems and appropriate software to
produce the following small scale Maps of the World,
or parts thereof:
1 Azimuthal class projection in Equatorial or Oblique aspect with title,
protractor and radial scale bar.
2 Rectangular class projection in Transverse or Oblique aspect with
title and multiple scale bars.
3 Conical class projection in Normal aspect of two hemispheres with
title and scale representation.
4 A projection chosen from one of the remaining classes by the candidate
to satisfy the given requirements of a small-scale mapping project.
