Overview of Assessment

This course is to be delivered and assessed as part of a Geographical Information System Project within a simulated workplace environment and under a normal range of work conditions.
The assessment is done through a combination of:
• Practical and theoretical exercises carried out in a simulated workplace
• Production of project based deliverables to industry standards using relevant computer software, GIS and drafting packages
• Computation Tests
• Presentation of a portfolio in accordance with the program standards (SIS Quality Plan) including references, coursework, reports and management records.


Assessment Tasks
