Overview of Assessment
Assessment in this course is progressive and will require demonstrated competence in one or more of the following ways:
Practical projects, drawings and documentation, visual and oral presentations, written assignments, CAD modelling, digital presentations, visual recognition tests, written reports and studio based activities.
All assignments will have set due dates which must be adhered to. Late submission of work will carry a penalty but may be considered by prior arrangement if supported with a medical certificate or other appropriate documentation.
Assessment Tasks
Students complete selected architectural drawing documentation in compliance with the codes of
practice and BCA requirements to describe the building to the builder and sub-contractors.
Drawings are checked as being :
• fully annotated,
• fully dimensioned,
• constructionally correct
• fully co-ordinated and cross referenced to each other.
Checked for appropriate scale, adhesive and material selection.
