Attendance is strongly recommended.
Teaching Resources
The teaching material is available on the my ariel course website:
- slides used during the lessons
- materials and instructions used during CAD Lab
- instructions and materials for exercise work
Assessment methods and Criteria
The exam aims to evaluate the knowledge learned about the use of drawing software, the use of building materials and survey tools.
he course is structured in a laboratory with the development of a design theme that varies from year to year through the creation and display of technical tables that will have to be brought and discussed in the oral exam (classification map, vegetation map, survey cards vegetation, functional layout, project plan, sections, technical construction details, technical feasibility sheet and economic feasibility sheet of the proposal)
For attending students it is possible to take a grade test, in the week of suspension of teaching, concerning the delivery of the first three maps:
- large scale map
- survey of the vegetation map with cards of the plants surveyed
- functional layout
The student must deliver the pdf maps 3 days before the test, take the printed papers to the test, present them and answer the questions relating to them. The evaluation of this test will be expressed in marks. The results of the grade test will be posted on the Ariel teaching website. The weight of this test is equal to 25% of the final grade.
To take the final exam, the student must deliver all the maps (including those already submitted for the grade test) in pdf format 3 days before the exam and bring the printed papers to the exam, present them and answer the questions to them relative.
The final grade will be composed as follows: 50% of the documents produced, 25% of the presentation of the documents, 25% of the answers to the questions.
Students with SLD or disability certifications are kindly requested to contact the teacher at least 15 days before the date of the exam session to agree on individual exam requirements. In the email please make sure to add in cc the competent offices: [email protected] (for students with SLD) o [email protected] (for students with disability).
