This document outlines the modules to be covered in a navigation class this semester. It includes modules on meteorology for safe navigation, aids to navigation, underway operations, and navigation in narrow channels. Each module lists competencies students will develop related to topics like weather conditions, buoy identification, collision avoidance procedures, and watchkeeping duties in confined waters. Students will complete self-tests to check their understanding after each module.
