Evidence Guide
Internal Assessment 50%
Examination 50%
NOTE: To gain an overall pass, the student must achieve a minimum of 40% of the
possible marks in each section.
Practical assessment (see practical tasks) 50%
One written examination paper of two hours'
duration 50%
Suggested Practical Tasks
A range of practical exercises should be given which
will enable students to successfully complete the
following tasks:
1 Establish a regular grid of levels in undulating terrain, book and
reduce levels by the collimation method, and interpolate contours.
2 Conduct a combined longitudinal and cross- section traverse.
3 Determine the area of a portion of land defined by irregular
boundaries, using the Simpson's or Trapezoidal formula.
4 Establish a regular grid of levels in undulating terrain, book and
reduce levels by the Collimation method, and use the levels
5 Determine Longitudinal and Cross-Section levels (e.g. for road
construction) and compute cut/fill volumes).
6 Carry out a detail "pick-up" survey, using theodolite and EDM to
determine position and RL.
7 Clearly and unambiguously record all observations pertaining to the
above in a suitable field book.
