Overview of Assessment

This unit will be assessed in the classroom environment using holistic assessment, based on typical workplace activities.
Assessment will comprise :

  • A project covering elements 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 comprising a two-storey reinforced concrete office building using industry drawings. 
  • A two-hour mid-semester examination covering elements 1,2 & 3 
  •  A two-hour end-of-semester examination covering elements 4, 5 & 6
