COURSE CONTENT

Student Learning Outcomes:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:

1. Analyze and solve space-planning problems using the physical, psychological and sociological factors that influence client preferences and drive design solutions.

2. Prepare floor plans and color boards to illustrate space planning principles that incorporate the specific needs of clients and special populations.

3. Develop plans to address proper furniture, fixture, and equipment (FFE) placement in residential and commercial environments.

 

Objectives:

At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:

1. Identify, analyze, describe, and interpret design principles and integrate them into spatial compositions.

Methods of Evaluation/Basis of Grade.

Writing: Assessment tools that demonstrate writing skill and/or require students to select, organize and explain ideas in writing.		Writing 0 - 0%
None
This is a degree applicable course but assessment tools based on writing are not included because problem solving assessments and skill demonstrations are more appropriate for this course.
Problem solving: Assessment tools, other than exams, that demonstrate competence in computational or non-computational problem solving skills.		Problem Solving 30 - 50%
Space-planning layouts; POE; drawing exercises; design concept sketches
Skill Demonstrations: All skill-based and physical demonstrations used for assessment purposes including skill performance exams.		Skill Demonstrations 5 - 15%
Presentations
Exams: All forms of formal testing, other than skill performance exams.		Exams 30 - 40%
Midterm project; final project
Other: Includes any assessment tools that do not logically fit into the above categories.		Other Category 10 - 15%
