Revit Assignment Grading

Overall the class did pretty well with the Revit assignment. You all seem comfortable with the software and some of you made some really cool buildings. Two of the things that I noticed while grading:

A few of you forgot to attach the Revit model and ended up losing 30 points because of it. You can resubmit assignments within a week of them being graded though, so if any of you would like to resubmit with the Revit model attached I can give you 2/3 of the points back. That of course also extends to any other corrections you want to make.

Almost all of you left out adding family information to your door schedules. I don't know why that is the one thing to get skipped over, but it gives me an excuse to remind you to look over the rubric before you submit your assignments. Make sure you include everything!

Good work overall, keep it up

Welcome

Hello everyone, this is the grader, Steve. I want to welcome all of you to the course, and give you a few general tips. First of all, READ THE ASSIGNMENT GRADING RUBRICS. At the bottom of each assignment there is a rubric that details how I will be grading you. If you hit all of the points on each rubric, I can guarantee that you'll do well in the course. If you are confused about anything on the rubric or feel like you don't know how to fulfill some of the requirements, I still encourage you to at least make the attempt and explain your reasoning and difficulties. I can only give you partial credit if you show me that you've made an effort. Other than paying attention to the rubric, I can only encourage you to go to class and work hard. This class presents a lot of material and requires a significant amount of effort, but I'm confident that by the end of the sequence you will have all found it rewarding. Don't be afraid to ask questions - this class is important for AE 391, and the sequence is the best preparation you're gong to get for senior design. With all that said, this class is fun, and you're going to get the freedom to do some interesting stuff during the sequence. Hope you all enjoy the course.

Best of luck,
Steve
