The Moodle site of each week contains specific questions to answer and the particular map output to provide. Submit Mapping Practical #1 in the Moodle Turnitin function when you have inserted the exercise answers/maps for all three weeks: 1, 2 and 3. Instructions on how to ‘export’ a suitable map image for insertion into the Mapping Practical document are provided in Week 2.

Submit Practical #1 on or before the due date, as one Microsoft Word file adding the maps and answering the questions as specified in the exercises of weeks 1, 2 and 3. In the document, identify the week and question number: i.e. a heading Week 1 Exercise 1 (etc.) is suitable.

Mapping Practical #1 marking criteria:

• The degree of completeness and insightfulness of any written answer.
• Written answers conform generally to the word limit guidance.
• Paragraph/sentence/argument construction and readability of short answers.
• The degree a map demonstrates mastery of the unit learning material.
• The degree to which a map is readable and ‘tells a story’ – ensure the maps are sized so that the details can be read, particularly the details important to the story of the map. Select the appropriate ‘zoom’ level.
• The degree to which appropriate, balanced cartographic elements have been used in the map production (depending on, and appropriate to, the tuition of the week – later maps will require extensive marginalia and cartographic elements – details noted in the exercise specifications per week).
