Dear Students

Your W11 > W12 Homework assignment

Life skill

Read this more than once before you start, often during and at least once after you think you are finished.
Read with highlighter in hand and highlight the important issues that you need to address
Check off the highlighted items against your work until you have done it all
Add deadlines to your electronic diaries with advance warnings and alarm calls on days of submission and attendance and no not press snooze or you will snooze through life.

x pages with:

Learning from your previous brief and your building’s uses.
Learning from your previous site and surrounds investigation, building and adjacent building survey/analysis.
Learning from your previous elemental performance task
Update them if you find they are not detailed enough.
Choose a word, phrase, topic or issue relevant to your project that needs to be explained and explain it.
Explore the internet for definitions and present a summary in a PowerPoint slide, A4 or A3 page.
See also GBE Jargon Buster (I have added to GBE website Shop see link above its free for a week)
This includes 9000 Jargon Busters some of which may apply to your projects
Include illustrations of the Jargon addressed
Consider one illustration per issue/paragraph one issue/paragraph per illustration
You can substitute: icons, schedule, picture, cartoon, diagram, chart, etc. for illustrations.
Make your slide or page interesting to look at and consider them as part of the work hung on the wall with your scheme
Use bullet points (summery of the issue) not long sentences with bullets at the beginning
Front load your bullets with the information that’s important
Number your bullets
This becomes a checklist for presenting your scheme on crits and allows others to understand your scheme in your absence

What not to do:

Do read the Academic Comments File (in the dropbox folder) and see what others did badly and do not do the same.

For example:

Make sure you are answering the requirements of the homework
Find an appropriate word, phrase

Remember you are not ‘designing’ yet,

Remember you are only just developing the requirements of the building elements
Not ‘designing’ yet, you may be prematurely thinking about methods of construction and materials (try to resist)
The information you create now will help you choose the right methods of construction and the right materials in subsequent home works.

Handing it in

hand in at the next lecture, on 1 or many sheets of A4 portrait or A3 landscape paper depending on how much you want to say;
If you use multiple A4 or A3 bind, staple or footnote each so they can be found and read together
File in dropbox opening folder, at latest midnight the day before lecture W5.
If you have updated previous homeworks add them to the same dropbox but add a number (starting with 2) for me to consider and improve your score if applicable.

The deadline:

Will be midnight the day before the next lecture.
Life skill: add it to your electronic diaries with advance warnings and early morning wake up calls, turn off snooze function and get up.
But the files that arrive sooner will make me happier as a client.
I will collect the last files at 04:00 am on the day of the lecture.
If you miss the 12:59/00:00 deadline do the work anyway and do it as soon as possible, it will be taken into account in the final score minus points for lateness.

The file naming convention:

So that you do not overwrite each other’s work when you drop files into dropbox
“Task 11 your name EBB7525 EREID 2017.doc” or .docx” or .pdf”
depending upon the version and software you use.
Do not add extra hyphens or brackets or gaps to the file name, do not close gaps that I put there.

You can do it with colour but I will be printing in black and white (only if I need to).

Replacing previous homework files with a better one:

e.g. “W2 your name EBB7525 ERIED 2017 2.doc” or .docx” or .pdf”

DropBox (how dropbox works let column and scroll down)

I have opened and added your email addresses to a dropbox and invited you to visit to collect files and deliver files there too.
I added subfolders which you will be able to see and I will collect your file and move it to the subfolder as I mark it.
Let me know if you still have not had an invite to dropbox.

Scoring: In the weeks context marking is: (9 points)

Was the assignment carried out?
Was it on time?
Was it delivered by dropbox?
Was it delivered on paper at the lecture?
Did the file name adopt the convention?
Did it follow the homework brief?
Did you choose a good jargon phrase, acronym or word and explain it well? Say something not nothing
Did you number items to allow cross referencing? To Week 3, 4, 5,…. Etc. To the end

Scoping of resubmitted work

Did you upgrade your previous homework(s) in response to this one?
If the previous score was low then they may be upgraded
