1 MT3121 CELESTIAL NAVIGATION II Learning Objective Celestial Navigation II will cover the requirements of the 1978 STCW convention as amended in The course covers the theory and practice of navigation necessary for the effective and safe navigation of a ship including the use of charts, position fixing by celestial observations and the extraction of information from relevant navigational publications. It focuses on the theory and practice of the use of observations of celestial bodies for determining lines of position and checking compass errors. Learning Outcomes On completion of the Celestial Navigation II course the trainee: will possess an advanced understanding of the principles of celestial navigation; by using observations of celestial bodies, the trainee will be able to fix the vessel s position, determine error of the compass and perform calculations for sailings, read detailed information from appropriate navigational publications and compare magnetic and gyro compasses and thus will be able to carry out routine day-to-day navigational watch keeping duties in a proper and safe manner; will have sufficient knowledge and understanding of celestial navigation to serve to the level of Chief Mate and Master.

ETA STCW Requirements To satisfy the knowledge based STCW-95 requirements of celestial navigation, you must earn a 70% (C-) in the course. If you earn less than 70% (69.9%), the course must be retaken to receive STCW credit. Class attendance policy - Attendance is mandatory. Each student is responsible for all material, homework, notices and other information disseminated during scheduled class hours. More than four (4) absences throughout the semester will result in a half a letter grade reduction (missing a lab period is considered two absences). Another one half a letter grade reduction will be imposed for each subsequent absence. If you must be absent during a scheduled exam due to an Academy authorized event or some other pre-approved reason, a make-up exam will be scheduled. To qualify for a make-up exam however, each student is required to arrange for his/her make up exam prior to the date of the exam. Examinations missed as a result of an unauthorized absence will incur a grade of zero. Grading It is anticipated there will be nine (9) exams throughout the semester which account for 75% of the course grade. You will be given one opportunity to retake any exam on which you failed to score a 70% or above. The final exam will be a running plot and account for the remaining 25% of the course grade. Exams 75% Final Exam 25% 100% MMA s honor code is to be followed at all times and cheating will not be tolerated. If I believe a violation of the honor code has occurred, a grade of zero will be given for the exam or assignment and notifications will be made to the Commandant s and Academic Dean s office in accordance with academic disciplinary regulations. Captain David B. Mackey 5 01/16/13
6 Lab Policy 1. All lab assignments are to be worked on during the lab period and completed for homework. 2. It is the responsibility of the student to bring a copy of the necessary navigation publications and equipment to the lab. Extra Help Extra help is always available to a student. Assistance can be scheduled during posted office hours or any other mutually agreeable time. MMA is committed to providing reasonable accommodations to students with documented disabilities. Students who believe they need accommodations in this class are required to contact Dr. Fran Tishkevich, Acting Director of Disability Compliance, within the first two weeks of class ftishkevich@maritime.edu and follow the proper accommodation procedures for notifying the professor.
