Full-time form

Successful mastery of the topics in cartography and topography covered in the geography curriculum for grades 6–11.

“Cartography” is a discipline devoted to the theory of cartography, the study and development of methods and technologies for the laboratory creation of maps, the theory of cartographic projections, and issues related to the scientific and technical editing of cartographic works. It examines the theoretical foundations, subject matter, methods, and technology involved in the creation and application of cartographic works. The discipline is closely related to the following cartographic disciplines: the theory of cartography, mathematical cartography, geodesy, topography, photogrammetry and remote sensing, digital cartography and geoinformatics, cartographic design, and map publishing technology. The course curriculum consists of two content modules.

Lectures, hands-on exercises, office hours, written assignments, exam

Ongoing (semester) assessment (practical assignments [minimum grade 24, maximum 40]; quizzes [6–10]; independent work [5–10]); – final assessment in the form of an exam (theory component (minimum 12, maximum 20 points); practical component (13–20). Students who have earned a total score lower than the critical minimum of 35 points must submit an additional, individually completed comprehensive assignment in order to be admitted to the final assessment. The weighting of learning outcomes in the final grade for each academic semester, provided they are mastered at the required level, is as follows: learning outcome 1 (knowledge)—up to 10 points; learning outcome 2 (skills)—up to 40 points; learning outcomes – 3 (communication) – up to 40 points; learning outcomes – 4 (autonomy and responsibility) – up to 10 points.
