following:
1. Get the knowledge of BIM (Building Information Modeling) and how to utilize it.
2. Achieve technical skills to communicate architectural ideas in an understandable,
efficient, and accurate manner.
3. Design, analyze and explain the various materials and their synthesis in foundation,
floor, wall, roof, and finish system of a commercial building.
4. Understand architectural programming and develop schematic design and
construction documents for commercial building.

Instructional Format
This course consists of lectures, lab assignments, personal project, and exams. It is
highly recommended that you attend all scheduled class and lab sessions. Every student
is expected to come to class prepared and to actively participate in our learning
environment.
Assignments
Lab assignments are designed to practice computer drawing and other activities covered
from the lecture. Each assignment will carry a due date and time. Late assignment will
receive no credit.
Midterm / Final Exam
Consists of computer drawing exams. Drawing criteria will be set by the instructor. You
will need to demonstrate your understanding using the software (Autodesk Revit
Building).
Final Examination: Thursday, May 13, 2010 @ 01:00 P.M.
Personal project
The objective of the final project is to develop the design that satisfies the multiple
design requirements discussed during the classes. You will develop a set of drawings
that incorporates programmatic and site elements, but also integrates aesthetic, spatial
and formal requirements into your design.
Grading and Course Logistics
The final grade will be based on a combination of the lab assignment, midterm, project
and the final exam grade, as follows:

Class Attendance
Regular class attendance is mandatory. Attendance is important because students will
have problems in following on the next class if they missed a class. It will cause the
delay of the entire class. Therefore, no unexcused absence is allowed. The students with
unexcused absences will have their grade lowered by ONE point for each missed class.
If you anticipate having problems making it to class, I suggest you modify your
schedule or whatever it takes to make it work. If you miss class, it is your responsibility
to contact me or a classmate and get the material/information from that day.

3) Sleeping during a class
4) Inappropriate computer usage during a class
5) Disturbing a classmate in any way during a class
6) An equivalent activity with above
Each violation will result in negative points of 1.0 in your final grading and the
instructor can ask the students to leave the classroom.
Class materials and grades
All class materials, lab assignments and grades will be posted at
http://westernonline.wiu.edu. You need to access to check your grades or print out the
class materials before the beginning of the class.
Rules for Giving an Incomplete
WIU policy – A temporary symbol of I (Incomplete) for a course may be given only
when a student, due to circumstances beyond his or her control, has been unable to
complete the course requirements within the official limits of the term. The
circumstances must be documented to the instructor’s satisfaction.
Academic Integrity
Preamble
Western Illinois University, like all communities, functions best when its members
treat one another with honesty, fairness, respect, and trust. Students have rights and
responsibilities (http://www.wiu.edu/provost/students/) and students should realize that
deception for individual gain is an offense against the members of the entire
community, and it is the student's responsibility to be informed and to abide by all
University regulations and policies on Academic Integrity.
Plagiarism, cheating, and other forms of academic dishonesty constitute a serious
violation of University conduct regulations. Students who engage in dishonesty in any
form shall be charged with academic dishonesty.
It is a duty of faculty members to take measures to preserve and transmit the values of
the academic community in the learning environment that they create for their students
and in their own academic pursuits. To this end, they are expected to instill in their
students a respect for integrity and a desire to behave honestly. They are also expected
to take measures to discourage student academic dishonesty, to adjust grades
appropriately if academic dishonesty is encountered, and, when warranted, to
recommend that additional administrative sanctions be considered. Grading policies are
the exclusive prerogative of the faculty; administrative sanctions are under the
authority of the Director of Student Judicial Programs. This document provides
policies and procedures to be followed when academic dishonesty is encountered.

Definitions of Academic Dishonesty
The following definitions and examples are not meant to be exhaustive. The University
reserves the right to determine, in a given instance, what action constitutes a violation
of academic integrity. (See www.wiu.edu/policies/acintegrity.php for complete
descriptions of the following topics:

Reporting Academic Dishonesty
All members of the University community share the responsibility and authority to
challenge and make known acts of apparent academic dishonesty. Any student, faculty
member, or staff person who has witnessed an apparent act of student academic
dishonesty, or has information that reasonably leads to the conclusion that such an act
has occurred or has been attempted, has an ethical responsibility for reporting said
act(s). Confronting and reporting academic dishonesty can be done in a variety of ways,
and people should choose the manner most appropriate for the circumstances. Acts of
apparent academic dishonesty that occur in the classroom should be reported directly to
the course instructor, and/or the course instructor's Department Chair, and/or the
instructor's College Dean. The Council on Admission, Graduation, and Academic
Standards (CAGAS) or the Graduate Council will not accept or act upon anonymous
reports, but will hold in strict confidence the identity of any person reporting a
suspected instance of academic dishonesty, unless that person consents to having
his/her identity revealed.
Access & Disabilities
In accordance with University policy and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA),
academic accommodations may be made for any student who notifies the instructor of
the need for an accommodation. For the instructor to provide the proper
accommodation(s), you must obtain documentation of the need for an accommodation
through Disability Support Services and provide it to the instructor. It is imperative that
you take the initiative to bring such needs to the instructor's attention, as he/she is not
legally permitted to inquire about such particular needs of students. Students who may
require special assistance in emergency evacuations (i.e. fire, tornado, etc.) should
contact the instructor as to the most appropriate procedures to follow in such an
emergency. Contact Disability Support Services at 298-2512 for additional services.

If you have emergency medical information to share with me, if you need special
arrangements in case the building must be evacuated, or if you need accommodations in
this course because of a disability, please make an appointment with me as soon as
possible. My office location and hours are at the top of this syllabus. If you plan to
request disability accommodations, you are expected to register with the Disability
Support Services (DSS) at 298-2512.
Resolution of Problems
Should a problem occur, students should speak to their instructor first. If the problem is
not resolved, meet with the chair of the department. If the problem continues to be
unresolved, go to the College of Business and Technology’s Dean.
Students should observe the following sequence for the resolution of problems:
Student --- Instructor --- Chairperson --- Dean
Special Course Costs
To help cover the costs of this course, special costs of $25.00 will be charged to each
student. This is payable to Kristin in Knoblauch 135 by March 15, 2010. If the Special
Course Costs are not PAID by March 26th, 2010; those costs will be doubled and turned
over to the University for billing by the University.
