Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach:
Students will be shown how to access and search for information on building products using an online database. (LO 1) Students will select appropriate material and product information for their details. (LO 2) Students will utilise the material and product information including manufacturers’ model details and recommendations to design building details. (LO 3) The designs will be hand-drawn to industry recognised appropriate scales. Tutors will provide formative feedback on the hand drawings prior to the students completing the drawings using drawing software and submission for summative assessment. (LO 3)
Students will prepare an analytical and reflective report on the effectiveness of the details that they have submitted for assessment. The report should assess the effectiveness of the detail and take into account such issues as buildability, water tightness, thermal cold bridging and compatibility of the materials selected. The report may also suggest ways the students’ details could be improved. (LO 4)
The classes will take place in an informal studio setting with access to computers and a drawing plotter to prepare the final paper submission for assessment.
Formative Assessment:
Detail drawings prepared for tutor’s comment (LO3)

Summative Assessment:
Technical information obtained from industry standard database (LO1, LO2)
Technical detail drawings prepared to industry standard conventions (LO 3)
Technical Report which assesses the effectiveness of the details prepared. (LO4)
