Hello;

Here are some resources that you may find helpful in preparing your GIS
course-

 

Basics of GIS:

 MIT class 12.540 Principles of the GPS
<http://www-gpsg.mit.edu/~tah/12.540/>  (Herring)

This is structured material which covers geoid, coordinate systems, GPS and
goes on from there. 

 

http://egsc.usgs.gov/isb/pubs/MapProjections/projections.html

 

Well written explanation of how each type of coordinate system is made and
what it is good for.

 

Software and tools:

-through-h

 

Many links to govt and educational GIS sites

Good luck, 

Holly Glaser, GISP
