    Paper Structure

    This paper logically follows on from SURV 307 Cadastral Surveying 2 but concentrates on a major cadastral survey project with the field undertaken in a student pair, but with an individual preparation of a dataset to Land Information NZ via Landonline. This project will have some degree of survey complexity and involves the students organising their own fieldwork.

    The paper provides a chance for the students to demonstrate the extent to which they have absorbed the material from SURV 207 and SURV 307 in a practical application and apply theoretical knowledge to a complicated practical situation. This paper is the final cadastral surveying paper after SURV 207 and SURV 307. All three papers are related, and the preceding papers are building blocks for those that follow. Successful mastering of the learning objectives in prior papers is needed for this paper.
