• Formalize individual participation into the Canvas rubric for group project activities, like presentations and group supervision sessions.
• Add a project feedback opportunity specifically on requirement specifications to make sure students get feedback on this before proceeding with their design proposals.
• Create a list of resources to help with this, like links to provisions and standards. Despite pointing to provisions, Emphasize the holistic design focus (i.e. this is not a risk assessment project like some others in the program).

Course analysis HN2024: 19 Feb 2024Changes introduced for this course offering
Over the past 4 years the course seminars have been aligning more and more with the course project to add more meaning and real-world application to how the course objectives are achieved. This year we plan to keep refining in this direction by reordering some of the main topics so that the learning arrives just before it is needed in the course project. The project requirements will get more detail to specifically include links to provisions and standards, more guidance on development of requirement specifications, and more a holistic design focus (i.e. this is not a risk assessment project like some others in the program).Examination grade

We have successfully added more practical application through seminars and ‘flipped classroom’ style recorded lectures. We have increased communication with guest teachers to improve the course-specificity and pedagogy of their sessions, and we need to continue with this. We have developed some ‘Guest teacher guides’ which we will share with guest teachers next year. We will also enact ‘studio days’ during class time to benefit more from teacher expertise and provide coaching during supervision sessions.Examination grade
