Cycle: Profiling disciplines

Goal
  • To master the basic theoretical knowledge of the design, construction and operation of resource-saving green buildings, their complexes and urban eco-structures as one of the prerequisites for the transition of modern civilization to sustainable environmental management.
Objective
  • To form an idea of a perspective architectural environment as an ecologically sustainable system that provides self-regulation, proper protection and restoration of the main components of natural ecosystems affected by human activity;
  • To study the history and theoretical background of the formation of modern ideas about sustainable urban environment;
  • Form the skills of architectural and environmental analysis of the urban environment and its components;
  • To study the basic methods and techniques of shaping a sustainable urban environment;
  • To form in students a system of concepts and ideas about the principles of green building design.
Learning outcome: knowledge and understanding
  • Requirements for basic types of buildings and structures, including requirements determined by the functional purpose of the designed object, the characteristics of the site, the need to organize barrier-free environment; regulatory, reference, methodological, abstract sources of information in architectural design.
Learning outcome: applying knowledge and understanding
  • Ability to apply knowledge in project development, act innovatively and technically competent in the use of construction technology, materials, structures, life support systems and information and computer tools
Learning outcome: formation of judgments
  • Participate in the summary analysis of the initial data, data assignments for the design of capital construction facility, data assignment for the development of the architectural section of the design documentation
Learning outcome: communicative abilities
  • Participate in the preparation of presentations and support of project documentation at the stages of approvals.
Learning outcome: learning skills or learning abilities
  • Gather information, identify problems, apply analysis, and critically appraise work done at all stages of the pre-project and project processes and after the project is implemented in situ
Teaching methods

theoretical material in a presentational presentation;

communicative technologies (discussion, learning debates) that promote the involvement of students in the search and management of knowledge, gaining experience of independent solutions to a variety of problems.

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.

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
