Teaching and learning Activities (TLAs) (Indicative of likely activities and tasks designed to facilitate students achievement of the CILOs. inal details will be provided to students in their first week of attendance in this course) This course is one of a series of subject area courses (CA950 Technical Studies Building Envelope Systems, CA9401 Environmental Studies Sustainable esign and Building Systems, and CA90 Communication Studies igital Media and Presentation) that runs in conjunction with CA910 Integrated Studio Medium-Scale Buildings under a Projectand Problem- Based Learning (PPBL) approach. You are expected to integrate the knowledge and skills that you have acquired in the lectures, tutorials and seminars in this course in the development of design proposals and problem case solutions in the studio. You will achieve CILO 1 through the learning experience during and after lectures and tutorials. You will achieve CILOs and through the formation phases (problem formulation, research, discussion, analysis, brief interpretation, schematic design, etc.) of the design projects and problem cases. You will achieve CILOs 4 to 6 through the development and production phases of the design projects. Knowledge and information acquired from the problem cases and seminars on specific topics will further supplement your learning to facilitate the achievement of these CILOs. TLAs Lecture Tutorial Seminar esign Project Problem Case CILO CILO CILO CILO CILO Total (hrs) CILO Total (hrs) A Lecture consists of oral presentations by instructors intended to present information on a particular subject. Other forms of teaching and learning activities will also be used to stimulate your participation during a lecture.. A Tutorial is an activity complementary to the lecture classes to provide more opportunities for student-instructor and student-student interaction. You will be engaged in more detailed discussions on the lecture materials and/or assessment tasks in a tutorial.

3 . A Seminar consists of oral presentations by instructors and/or external guests, which focuses on a selected topic relating to the integrated studio or the various subject area courses. 4. A esign Project engages you in the production of an integrated proposal for a building in response to a set of constraints and requirements. Teaching and learning are conducted through regular studio classes in which you will develop your design proposals with a studio tutor. 5. A Problem Case engages you in the solving of a building-related problem. Teaching and learning are conducted through individual research and regular problem classes, in which you will discuss and share information found on a problem under the facilitation of a studio tutor. 4. Assessment Tasks/Activities (Indicative of likely activities and tasks designed to assess how well the students achieve the CILOs. inal details will be provided to students in their first week of attendance in this course) Coursework 100% (Assignment 70% + Quiz 0%) You must attain a minimum mark of 5 in all assessment components AN an overall mark of 40 to pass the course. Marks are assigned based on your achievement of ILOs according to the defined marking criteria/rubrics. ATs Assignments Quiz Weighting* CILO 1 1 CILO 1 CILO CILO 4 CILO 5 CILO 6 Total (%) 70 0 *Weightings are assigned to the CILOs according to their relative importance to the course ( = most important). 1. There are three to four assignments associated with the studio projects/problems and up to two quizzes for this course.. An Assignment is a take-home prescribed task for a subject area course in the context of the integrated studio project or problem. Each assignment can be of a different format and type, depending on the associated intended learning outcome.. A Quiz consists of a number of multiple-choice and short questions relating to a subject area that you need to answer within a given period under an invigilated environment. 5. Grading of Student Achievement: Refer to Grading of Courses in the Academic Regulations.
