Busy Preparing for Exams?

I wish you all the very best for your last exam this Friday.

I hope to pin up your grades at my door in the next two days, so you can see for yourself your overall grade for BAEA 3275 - Architectural Design Studio V, this semester.

Basic guidance to grades:
If you get an A, you had been impressive both personally and by the work shown. Keep that up.
If you get a B and B+, you have qualities as a designer and showed good mastery in space and form. If B -, you lack that extra bit of quality in mastering the formal and aesthetics.
If C and C+, you had just passed in terms of the planning and technical aspects but seriously lack the aspects found in a designer.

(If you want to know more, refer to your studio tutors.)

During the Portfolio Review, we chatted about the quality of students. Basically with B and above, with a PNGK (CGPA) of 3.0 at the end of 2nd semester, you have the potential to go to 4th year straight. So that means that you could design competently. You will be a good assistant designer in a design firm.

With a C and above (below B), you should be able to work well in a design firm as your quality would at least be expected to be that of an assistant to the senior draftsman. You will have an acceptable technical competence.
