The RPN consists of the following substantive components: 1. Formulation of a theory of cartography based on the communication paradigm. 2. Development of a theory of cartography grounded in the analytical paradigm and within the era of computer technologies.

Forms and organization of assessment: - ongoing (semester) assessment (practical assignments: minimum 24, maximum 40 points; tests: 6–10 points; independent work: 5–10 points); - final assessment in the form of an exam (score for theoretical knowledge: minimum 12, maximum 20 points; score for the practical component: 13–20 points). Students whose total score falls below the critical threshold of 35 points must complete an additional individual comprehensive assignment to qualify for the final assessment.
