Learning outcome: applying knowledge and understanding
  • -use of methods and techniques for creating architectural forms in creative work; - understanding the logic of form-building connections in architecture.
Learning outcome: formation of judgments
  • -formation of one's own critical position in the discussion and conversations on professional assessment of architectural objects; - the ability to draw conclusions and make main sammary from the studied material.
Learning outcome: communicative abilities
  • development of communication skills in discussions and discussions on professional topics; ability to share professional experience.
Learning outcome: learning skills or learning abilities
  • - ability to make independent research and analysis of the studied material; - ability to navigate in the information space.
Teaching methods

-use of technical training aids; -use of visual aids; - demonstration of student works from the methodological fund; -use of Internet resources.

Assessment of the student's knowledge

Teacher oversees various tasks related to ongoing assessment and determines students' current performance twice during each academic period. Ratings 1 and 2 are formulated based on the outcomes of this ongoing assessment. The student's learning achievements are assessed using a 100-point scale, and the final grades P1 and P2 are calculated as the average of their ongoing performance evaluations. The teacher evaluates the student's work throughout the academic period in alignment with the assignment submission schedule for the discipline. The assessment system may incorporate a mix of written and oral, group and individual formats.

practical works 1.Harmony in the work ( composition/model). Individual elements of the composition/makeup are organically combined with each other. 2.The variety of techniques used in the work forms a complete composition. 3.The artistic image of the work ( composition/model) is present and vividly expressed. 5.The work (composition/model) is executed at a high level, qualitatively, with the use of necessary tools and materials. 1.Individual elements of the composition/model are combined with each other, there are elements that slightly violate the overall harmony. 2.In the work applied techniques of form formation not fully, but the integrity of the composition is formed. 3.The artistic image is present, but expressed not bright enough. 5.The work ( composition/model) is well done, using the necessary tools and materials. 1.Individual elements of the composition/model are not organically combined with each other, the overall harmony of the composition/model is slightly disturbed. 2.In the work, the techniques of form formation are not fully applied, the integrity of the composition is slightly disturbed. 3.Artistic image is absent, but there are elements of aesthetics, it does not greatly harm the overall perception of the work. 5.The quality of the work ( composition/model) is satisfactory. 1.Harmony in the work ( composition/model). Individual elements of the composition/makeup are organically combined with each other. 2.The variety of techniques used in the work forms a complete composition. 3.The artistic image of the work ( composition/model) is present and vividly expressed. 5.The work (composition/model) is executed at a high level, qualitatively, with the use of necessary tools and materials.
creative examination (composition model) The work is on time and completed. The composition of the work is harmonious, the elements are coherent and organically combined with each other. The composition of the product is expresses a certain artistic image, is aesthetic and executed at the highest level of quality.The student appropriately applied the techniques and skills acquired during the study of the discipline in solving the problem of the exam The work is completed on time, perhaps not fully completed, but the shortcomings in the work are very minor. The composition of the work is mostly harmonious, the elements are combined with each other. The composition of the work expresses an artistic image, aesthetic and executed at a good level of quality. The student has more appropriately applied the techniques and skills acquired during the study of the discipline in solving the problem of the examination The work is completed in time, perhaps not completed in full, the shortcomings in the work are significant. The composition of the work is not harmonious, the combination of elements is slightly broken. The composition of the work implies an artistic image, and is executed at a satisfactory level of quality. The student has more appropriately applied the techniques and skills acquired during the study of the discipline in solving the task of the examination The work is on time and completed. The composition of the work is harmonious, the elements are coherent and organically combined with each other. The composition of the product is expresses a certain artistic image, is aesthetic and executed at the highest level of quality.The student appropriately applied the techniques and skills acquired during the study of the discipline in solving the problem of the exam
Evaluation form

The student's final grade in the course is calculated on a 100 point grading scale, it includes:

  • 40% of the examination result;
  • 60% of current control result.

The final grade is calculated by the formula:

FG = 0,6 MT1+MT2 +0,4E
2

 

Where Midterm 1, Midterm 2are digital equivalents of the grades of Midterm 1 and 2;

E is a digital equivalent of the exam grade.

Final alphabetical grade and its equivalent in points:

The letter grading system for students' academic achievements, corresponding to the numerical equivalent on a four-point scale:

Alphabetical grade Numerical value Points (%) Traditional grade
A 4.0 95-100 Excellent
A- 3.67 90-94
B+ 3.33 85-89 Good
