Explanations
- Midterm Examination: The date, time, and venue of the midterm examination will be announced by the Dean’s Office.
- Practical Exercises: Practical exercises will be carried out in accordance with the topics covered during the course. Submission deadlines for each exercise will be announced separately.
- Quizzes: Quizzes will be announced one week in advance, and the announcement will specify the course content to be covered.
- Final Submission: The final submission will consist of six practical applications completed throughout the semester. These applications must be integrated into the student's architectural design project developed within the concurrent Architectural Design Studio. For each application topic, students are required to prepare one A3 or B2 presentation board that explains both the theoretical framework of the application and its implementation within the architectural project. Final submissions must be submitted both digitally and in printed format.
- Final Assessment Policy: As the final assessment is based on a comprehensive project submission rather than a written examination, there is no make-up (resit) examination for this course.
