Assessment criteria
Lecture W - 30h
Written exam. The final grade for the examination is determined on the basis of the sum of points obtained for answers to individual examination questions according to the following grading scale:
● 91 - 100% - 5.0
● 81 - 90% - 4.5
● 71 - 80% - 4.0
● 61 - 70% - 3.5
● 51 - 60% - 3.0
● 0 - 50% - 2.0
Project P-30 h
• the credit condition is the completion of the design project in line with the topic with the minimum grade 3.0;
• pass each of the 2 written tests for the minimum grade 3.0;
• defense of the project for the minimum grade 3.0;
• the rules for the scoring of individual written tests and defense are determined by the lecturers;
• the final grade is the weighted average of the marks obtained for the project (60%), the project defense (15%), and tests (25%).
Classes C -30 h
• the credit condition is the completion of a computational task (dimensioning of selected elements of a multi-family residential building in traditional technology - according to the topic of the design classes) for the minimum grade 3.0;
• passing a written test with the minimum grade 3.0;
• presentation of a paper for tthe minimum grade 3.0;
• the rules for the scoring of a computational task, a written test and a paper are established by the tutors.
• the final grade is the weighted average of the grades obtained for a computational task (60%), a paper (20%), and a test (20%).
The on-line form of eveluation is the same (written). The student has a time limit to write a test/exam and send in Teams the scan or photos of the work after saving it as a pdf file.
