ARCH 305 Architectural Design III
College: Architecture
Department: Architecture
Type: C
Status: Approved
REPORT ON CERTIFICATION OF C COURSE: ARCH 305
CERTIFICATION PERIOD: 9/1/24 to 9/1/28
We recommend that ARCH 305: Architectural Design III be certified as a Communication (C) course. We have reviewed a representative syllabus and have determined that the course meets or exceeds the following criteria: (1) 25% of the final grade is based on writing quality; (2) the total number of words is 1,500; (3) the total minutes of performance is 5; (4) the instructor to student ratio is 1:20; and (5) the assigned writing and speaking are appropriate to the major.
The writing portion of ARCH 305 consists of three 500-word assignments which each summarize and describe components of the course studio project. The speaking portion of the course consists of a 5-minute presentation of their project. For both writing and speaking, students will receive instruction via class discussions, debates on course topics and concepts, and informal student “report-backs” based on their research. Formative feedback will be given during these report-backs, as well as an ungraded midterm presentation.
