PRACTICAL GUIDELINES

 CLASS–XI ELECTIVE GEOSPATIAL TECHNOLOGY (740)

1.)MINIMUM PASS MARKS

The Minimum number of marks required to pass in each subject is (33) percent in the written papers and practical examination.

2.)Marks for record, Viva Project etc., in respect of Senior Secondary School Curriculum of School Certificate Examination:

The projects and the practical records, duly punched should be returned to the students concerned immediately after evaluation.

3.)Assessment of performance.

(a) The examiner (internal) assigned for the conduct and assessment of Practical

Examinations each in Senior Secondary School Curriculum .Question for the viva examinations should be conducted by both the examiners. Question to bemore of general nature, project work or the curriculum.

(d) Marks awarded for Project / Practical activities, for viva, for project and forPractical files must be separately shown on the answer-book as the total.

4.)Procedure for Assessment of practical project work in Geospatial. (Total 40marks )

The examiner will indicate separately marks of practical examination on the title page ofthe answer-books under the following heads:-

The subject Teacher in charge of conducting practical may assign practical activities to thestudents so as to generate interest in students in the subject. Project may be based onGeospatial Syllabus.

Project for the final practical’s is given below:-

Project – 5 marks

Students should make a project file. The marks can be allocated based on the quality ofwork done by the students as per the Curriculum

Any one of the following:-

(i) Prepare a sketch map of the School building and surrounding environment – A top view.

(ii) Features needs to be shown in the sketch map – School Building,Playground, Parking Area, Tree Lines, Access Road and Principal’s Room.

Or

(i) Collect four corner coordinates – Administrative Block of School Building.

(ii) Display them in the GIS Environment.

(iii) Load a Google Image of the Administrative Block of School Building usingcollected coordinates.

Viva based on Project – 5 marks

The teacher conducting the final practical examination may ask verbal questions relatedto the project, if any, done by the student. Alternatively, if no project has been assignedto the students, viva may be based on questions of practical nature from the field ofsubject as per the Curriculum.

Demonstration of skill competency via Lab Activities – 30 marks

Activity question to be created by internal examiner, to be conducted on the practicalday – 30 minutes.
