Student Assessment
Description
The exams are held (in groups) at TopoLab at the end of the winter semester and after 13 weeks of teaching.
In the exams, each student is asked to create a topographic survey plan on the computer and using the AutoCAD software according to the instructions and the pronunciation of the exam topics. The final deliverable is the design file that each student produces on the computer.
Student Assessment methods
- Written Exam with Short Answer Questions (Formative, Summative)
- Written Assignment (Formative, Summative)
- Topographic drawing file in DWG(CAD) format
