Preamble
The
Visiting Panel would prefer to see each School as it usually is in everyday
use, with as many of the studios and lectures as possible operating in their
normal way. |
|
2.
|
Course Work Exhibition
|
|
|
2.1
|
To
display a complete range of studio works with programmes attached to each
course in all years of the programme to be arranged chronologically so as to
show the development of the curriculum throughout the entire programme. As far as is practicable the sequence of work
shown should follow the sequence of the programme. |
|
|
2.2
|
Drawings
shall be displayed separately and consecutively with the exception of large
sets of drawings, which are best overlapped. |
|
|
2.3
|
For
graduating students at Part I and Part II, the final drawings shall be
displayed individually together with a portfolio of the previous years’ works. |
|
|
2.4
|
The
line of demarcation between the works of each year should be clear. |
|
|
2.5
|
Examples
of written thesis, reports and dissertations should also be made available. |
|
|
2.6
|
In selecting the works for the exhibition, the School is asked to
display a cross-section of the students’ works rather than just the works of
the best students. |
|
|
2.7
|
The School is asked to arrange for a member of the staff to explain
briefly the work of each year. The Panel
is interested in the philosophy or main objectives of each year and their
relation with the preceding and following year. |
|
|
2.8
|
Portfolio
of five (5) students who achieved the highest, average and lowest pass should
be made available for each year of the programme. The basis of selection – highest, average and
lowest - is made clear on the portfolio.
The preparatory material as well as the final drawings should also be
included in the portfolios so as to reveal the students’ approach to projects. |
|
|
2.9
|
For
schools seeking new accreditation, the portfolios should include works which
the graduating students have done in preceding years so as to build up a total
picture of his progress. For example the
portfolio of a Third Year student should contain his First and Second Year
works. |
|
|
2.10
|
For
established schools seeking continuing accreditation, it is sufficient to show
cross-section samples of students’ portfolios for each semester/year. However
for graduating batches, all students must display their current works. The
previous years’ works should also be made available for the Panel’s inspection. |
|
|
2.11
|
Dissertations and other mainly written work such as reports or essays
which are on the pass margin and of average quality should also be made
available, clearly labelled as such. |
|
3.
|
Examinations
To
provide information on the following :- |
|
|
3.1
|
The
system of examinations used in the School including information on the subjects
examined, timing of examinations, feedback to students and staff. |
|
|
3.2
|
The
School’s method of assessing design work and the level of performance which
students are expected to maintain. |
|
|
3.3
|
Copies
of all current examination question papers together with samples of students’
answer scripts and mark sheets. The
examination papers should be grouped in sets of related subjects and clearly
marked in years. Two examples of answer
scripts on the border of pass and fail should be clearly marked so as to enable
members of the Panel to check the pass/fail standard quickly. The usual mark
sheets should be attached to each set of papers. |
|

|
|
4.1
|
The Panel would like to meet as many of the staff as
is practicable especially the subject and studio coordinators. |
|
|
4.2
|
The Panel would also like to have a meeting with all
the students of the programme if possible. |
