An in-depth study and sur­vey of some the var­i­ous con­struc­tion as­sem­blies em­ployed in the con­struc­tion in­dus­try. The course fo­cuses on ar­chi­tec­tural de­tail­ing as it ap­plies to the use of ma­te­ri­als, ma­te­r­ial as­sem­blies and their com­po­nents in the con­struc­tion of build­ings. De­tails of floor, in­te­rior and ex­te­rior walls, roof and foun­da­tion as­sem­blies in­clud­ing ma­te­ri­als and their re­sponses to the el­e­ments and build­ing loads are ex­plored.

An in-depth study and survey of some the various construction assemblies employed in the construction industry. The course focuses on architectural detailing as it applies to the use of materials, material assemblies and their components in the construction of buildings. Details of floor, interior and exterior walls, roof and foundation assemblies including materials and their responses to the elements and building loads are explored.

Analysis of structures and materials in architecture

In­tro­duc­tion to Fic­tion is just that: an in­tro­duc­tion to a lit­er­ary genre that is mas­sive in scope, and im­pos­si­ble to do jus­tice to in one se­mes­ter of study. So with that ac­knowl­edge­ment, this course will be de­voted to the study of a di­verse col­lec­tion of short form fic­tion, with a focus on basic crit­i­cal ap­proaches in­clud­ing ex­am­i­na­tions of the foun­da­tional el­e­ments of fic­tion, the in­flu­ence of per­sonal and ex­te­rior fac­tors in a writer’s life and on his/her work, the rel­e­vance and ir­rel­e­vance of genre de­lin­eations and tax­on­omy, and some of the more preva­lent the­o­ret­i­cal ap­proaches to lit­er­ary crit­i­cism. In this course, you will be ex­posed to work that might chal­lenge your pre­con­ceived no­tions of what fic­tion is, what forms it can take, and what it is meant to ac­com­plish. As such, I want to em­pha­size that in this course, we do not judge work as “good” or “bad” – we will con­sider all work crit­i­cally, i.e., via aca­d­e­mic analy­sis, and hope­fully ex­pand our un­der­stand­ing of fic­tion through this process. In other words, this isn’t a book club, and I want you to con­cen­trate your ef­forts away from ca­sual read­ing and to­ward more rig­or­ous, im­mer­sive strate­gies of en­gage­ment. Our class time will be largely de­voted to dis­cus­sions of the work, and how our analy­ses will form the basis for the course’s writ­ten as­sign­ments. Since this is a writ­ing-in­ten­sive course, you must draw on the skills gained in the pre­req­ui­site course, ENG 1101, to meet the Out­comes out­lined by the Eng­lish De­part­ment (listed below, and on the Learn­ing Out­comes sheet, posted in Open Lab), and to apply them to the writ­ten work in this course: two major pa­pers, a read­ing jour­nal, re­sponses to as­signed read­ings posted on the course’s Open Lab Dash­board, and co­pi­ous notes to be taken in class.

Introduction to Fiction is just that: an introduction to a literary genre that is massive in scope, and impossible to do justice to in one semester of study. So with that acknowledgement, this course will be devoted to the study of a diverse collection of short form fiction, with a focus on basic critical approaches including examinations of the foundational elements of fiction, the influence of personal and exterior factors in a writer’s life and on his/her work, the relevance and irrelevance of genre delineations and taxonomy, and some of the more prevalent theoretical approaches to literary criticism. In this course, you will be exposed to work that might challenge your preconceived notions of what fiction is, what forms it can take, and what it is meant to accomplish. As such, I want to emphasize that in this course, we do not judge work as “good” or “bad” – we will consider all work critically, i.e., via academic analysis, and hopefully expand our understanding of fiction through this process. In other words, this isn’t a book club, and I want you to concentrate your efforts away from casual reading and toward more rigorous, immersive strategies of engagement. Our class time will be largely devoted to discussions of the work, and how our analyses will form the basis for the course’s written assignments. Since this is a writing-intensive course, you must draw on the skills gained in the prerequisite course, ENG 1101, to meet the Outcomes outlined by the English Department (listed below, and on the Learning Outcomes sheet, posted in Open Lab), and to apply them to the written work in this course: two major papers, a reading journal, responses to assigned readings posted on the course’s Open Lab Dashboard, and copious notes to be taken in class.
