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:

Many links to govt and educational GIS sites

Good luck,
Holly Glaser, GISP
