06 Course Project, Prof. King

Too many of you are missing class or not submitting assignments.  Please be aware that you are seriously jeopardizing your ability to pass this course.

Moving forward:

If you presented your final connections assignment today – you may submit it again by Wednesday September 26th – it will be reviewed again and a grade change MAY be submitted.  If you did not present today Monday the 24th your work must be submitted by Wednesday the 26th or it will receive a failing grade.

For Wednesday you must additionally complete the following for your building:

  • Complete the column grid
  • Add all levels
  • Add dimensions to the column grid
  • Format the grid (level 1) on a titleblock
  • Format your exterior elevations in a titleblock
  • Try to work with a 22 x 34 sheet with plans and elevations at 1/8″ scale.  If your building requires it you may use a larger sheet (30 x 40, etc.)  If so you  must demonstrate that it cannot fit on 22 x 34 by showing a layout.

You must post all of your reference materials and research on your building on your own openlab project site.

  • Print Research Sheet at 11 x 17 (one sheet for each smaller connection you study)
  • Minimum requirement for assignment is to study two smaller connections.  Minimum work will not earn an A grade no matter how well done.

Prof. King

It is critical that you meet deadlines and are ready for all pinups.  Pinups are not optional but are mandatory. 

Your grades will be lowered if you do any of the following:

  • If you do not participate in the Pinups
  • If your work is not submitted on time
  • If your work is not properly uploaded to blackboard when required
  • If your work is not posted to Openlab when required,

Several of you have missed both of our important Pinups.  You should be aware that although it is early in the semester you are already jeopardizing your ability to pass the course.  Below are grading statistics for the Scavenger Hunt Best Study.  Too many students have received F grades for not completing their work, pinning up or posting their work on blackboard.

01 Scavenger Hunt, Prof. King

The Scavenger Hunt Projects are graded in Blackboard. If you did not submit and received an F/0 grade you have until next class to submit your work. After that the F grade will remain. For these late submissions your final grade will be dropped one full grade as it is important that you participate in all pinups and that work be submitted on time. (For example, if your work is A quality the grade would be dropped to a B)

Below are grading statistics for both classes for your reference.
