Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
This highly cognitive module is taught as a series of seminars and practical classes in the computer lab. This shall comprise a mixture of lecture/seminar of up to 2 hours with a linked 1-hour tutorial period and group-based learning, held twice per day over a consecutive five day period. The face-to-face teaching and group-based learning delivered in Week 1 shall be supported by guided independent study when back in the office and completing the assessments set for the module.The module employs a wide range of active learning techniques to discuss the basic principles of BIM as well as 2D and 3D representation. Guided independent learning and practice enhances learning. The module introduces the concept of scale as well as a number of iconic buildings and architectural drawings that communicate the design concepts and construction details.Learning and teaching methods are designed to enable students to represent their design project as a complete set of annotated drawings. The module enables students to read, write, represent and edit 2D and 3D drawings. It prepares students to research, model and share digital data in 3D BIM environments. The educational pedagogy is learning by doing. Throughout the practical sessions, new commands and techniques are demonstrated and the students are required to practice the routines under the supervision of the module leader. Students are required to practice the new commands between classes in order to build up their speed and competence. There are several steps to developing the students research, reading, writing and CAD skills. The coursework is designed to reinforce the learning objectives and to allow the learning outcomes to be assessed.
|
Formative feedback opportunities are built into each practical session, where students will be encouraged to solve their own design problems and get support when needed. These provide opportunities for the module tutor to give one to one ongoing feedback. This formative feedback is delivered in class time in response to students’ contributions and progress. There will also be opportunities in class to develop coursework which will be informally assessed and feedback is provided.
|
There are two elements of assessment:Coursework 1This assessment is undertaken as an individual exercise. The first coursework in this module is designed to test students’ skill to select a research topic that is relevant to the learning outcomes of this module. The selection of the topic can be facilitated by reviewing relevant literature and current issues in the industry. The students are required to conduct a literature review and write a professional report about the findings and conclusions.This meets LO 1 and 5.Coursework 2This assessment is undertaken as an individual exercise. The second coursework in this module is designed to test students’ skill to model and create a complete presentation of a residential building using an industry standard software application.This meets LO 1, 2, 3 and 4.
