Grading and Evaluation
There will be five projects assigned this term. Individual grades are based on conceptual clarity, design development, and craft as exhibited in the artifacts presented. (Details regarding evaluation process are in the
Foundation Program Guidebook). Project grades include DAILY project development and completion assessed at reviews. Submitting the required work for a project does not necessarily achieve an “A”. The breakdown for each project + percentage grade descriptions are as follows:
10%
15%
20%
15%
30%
Project 1 Project 2.1
Project 2.2
Project 3
Project 4
90%
Total Projects
10% Participation + Presentation (Projects 2.2 + 4)
Each project will include a 10% Participation Grade. Participation includes asking questions and giving comments during lectures + homework reviews in studio. Also, meeting with the Instructor during office hours
and attending the Fall 2013 CAPLA Lecture Series (details included in the course calendar).
In addition to studio work, there are required History / Theory assignments. These will include readings, quizzes, sketches, journal entries, and written essays. Grades for the History / Theory portion will be factored into
the final course grade at the end of the semester.
Email all instructors using proper English and capitalization. Always address an email with the professor’s
name. Slang will not be accepted.
A, A- excellent (90-100)
Indicates work of a very high character. This grade is reserved for work that shows inspiration, demonstrating
significant insight developed to its fullest extent and presented with exquisite craftsmanship. Strongly exceeding requirements of assignments by discovering and proposing issues which are reciprocal, similar and
coincidental. Growing level of improvement. Students exhibit a strong positive attitude toward the work.
Demonstrating the ability to achieve and excel independently in the development of studio work. Students
will be curious about ideas, will make iterations of things over and over again, will be facile with and eager
to explore graphical techniques, and will find a way to channel these base level studies into a simple but
sophisticated questioning of architectural production.
B+, B Good, above average (85-89)
Indicates work that is definitely above average. This level of work shows significant exploration and development, and is well presented with good craftsmanship, but it may not rise to the highest level of excellence.
Demonstrating not only understanding but also achievement in directing the investigations and development in studio work. Improvement showing marks of progress. Work is accurate and complete. Positive
attitude towards the work.

B- Average (80-84)
Indicates work of average or medium character. Mediocre or conservative performance, satisfying all requirements of assignments with a neutral and ordinary level of initiative and attitude. Addressing all of the
issues presented in the assignments. Demonstrating an understanding of the issues. Rarely contributing to
group discussions. Rarely enthusiastic about the assignments and discussions. Attending but not always
working during each studio session.
C- Pass (70-79)
Indicates work below average and unsatisfactory. Though work may meet the minimum requirements, it
lacks depth, development or is unsatisfactorily crafted. This includes projects with an unnoticeable level of
initiative, attitude and improvement. Exhibiting difficulty in demonstrating recognition and understanding
of the issues and concepts presented in the assignments. Missing or leaving studio sessions early without
notice. Does not participate in group critiques.
D/E Fail (69 and below)
Work in this category may be unfinished, unimaginative, undeveloped or poorly executed, and shows minimal understanding of issues. Level of initiative, attitude and improvement nonexistent.
Reading Discussions
Students are required to participate in four (4) reading discussion sessions during the course of the semester.
Each discussion session corresponds to a required reading. It is expected that students will have read and
understood the article and be prepared to participate in a discussion of issues raised by the article. Students’
effort in these reading discussions will factor into overall participation grades.

History and Theory Foundation Course Description
The History + Theory (H+T) lectures relate to architectural history and theoretical concepts, and compliment
ideas introduced in studio. Weekly lectures address themes, concepts and precedents, and specific readings
and writing assignments. The intent of this series is to have students develop a deeper understanding of our
context, read, write, and create new connections between their own individual work and the built environment past, present, and future.
Course Components And Evaluation Criteria
∙ Attendance at lectures each week and participation during discussions
∙ Reading assignments (4 total)
∙ Journal assignments in sketchbook/journal (most weeks)
∙ Short essays (1-2 pages typed, double-spaced, 12pt font, 1” margins on top, bottom, left and right) (3 total)
∙ Quizzes (weekly at the end of each lecture)
Evaluation
Final H+T grades will be based on:
Attendance and participation (30%)
Journal assignments (based on reading assignments) (30%)

Course Policies
Attendance
Class attendance is required. It is your responsibility to be present and on time each day for the duration of
the class. After the 3rd unexcused absence (whether in part or for a session’s entirety), the final grade will be
lowered by 5% per absence.
Exceptions
All holidays or special events observed by organized religions will be honored for those students who show
affiliation with that particular religion in writing in advance of the event.
Absences pre-approved by the UA Dean of Students (or Dean’s designee) will be honored.
Deadlines
Projects are due on the date, time, and place specified. Late portfolios will be penalized one letter grade for
each 24-hour interval. Incomplete portfolios (missing assignments) will not be graded.
Work Documentation (Hard copies + Digital Scans)
Students must document their solutions to the major projects for the semester. The studio instructor and/or
Project Statement will specify the requirements for documentation. The work must be scanned and documented digitally and uploaded to the appropriate Dropbox on the course D2L site by the date + time listed
on the Project Statement.
This includes all pertinent process drawings, process study models, sketches, final models and final presentation drawings. Make a habit of scanning drawing, photographing models, as well as saving documentation of your process (states of development), as work is completed. Documentation can be used to prepare
professional portfolios, fellowships and scholarships, as well as for national competitions.
Please use the following file name convention :
“CourseNumber_ Term_FirstName_LastName_Project_Caption.tif” For example: ARC101_F2013_Jane_
Smith_ P1_ContourDrawing.tif
For model photographs and other tonal images, use a maximum of 300 dpi resolution with a minimum of 5
inches in one dimension. Acceptable formats are TIFF and JPEG. Line drawings require especially high resolution to remain sharp. For freehand drawings, sketches and other line work, use a minimum of 600 dpi resolution with a minimum of 5 inches in one direction. Acceptable formats are TIFF, JPEG, EPS, and AI. DO NOT
PHOTOGRAPH LINE WORK.
Final file sizes submitted onto the D2L dropbox should be no bigger than 20 MB. That means, images
scanned at a high resolution and full size should be reduced in size and sometimes resolution before uploading. The original, high-resolution images should be stored in your own archive in case you lose your
work.
There are scanning facilities located on the 2nd floor of CAPLA West. Studio Instructors and the Print Room
assistants can help students if needed. Students may use the CAPLA Computer lab (also located on the 2nd
floor, CAPLA West) for uploading their work to D2L. The Lab is open 24 hours / day.

http://deanofstudents.arizona.edu/codeofacademicintegrity.
Plagiarism
The practice of taking someone else’s work or ideas and passing them off as one’s own is known as plagiarism and is a violation of academic and professional ethics. This applies both to professional and public
works as well as to the work of student peers. Students shall be assiduous in citing the work of others,
whether in copying a graphic, either in part or in total, quoting a text, or in building upon ideas, designs, or
forms.
Building upon the work of others is entirely proper (and is in fact inevitable), so long as the citation is properly attributed. Citations should include both the work (including its name, location, designer, and date) as
well as the source from which the information about the work was obtained (which should follow the Chicago Manual Of Style: http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide.html.) This course follows the
University of Arizona’s Policy on plagiarism: http://deanofstudents.arizona.edu/codeofacademicintegrity
Appropriate Behavior
All students are expected to conduct themselves in a mature, respectful, and responsible manner while in
the studio. The worktables are shared with your neighbor and the other sections of the course. All students
are expected to contribute to the overall neatness and order of the studio space. Please be respectful of
your colleagues who share your desk in other sections. When you arrive in studio each day make sure that
your work area is clean, that includes the floor, storage compartments and the tabletop. Allow five minutes
before the end of class to repeat this procedure in preparation for the arrival of your colleagues in the next
section.
No phone, audio device or laptop use is allowed in studio or lecture—if this rule is broken you will be asked
to leave class/lecture. For health and maintenance reasons, there is absolutely no spraying of aerosol cans
(spray fixative, glue, paint, etc.) allowed in studio, the building, or areas adjacent to our building. Be alert
at all times in and around the building, particularly when entering or exiting the building at night. Do not
leave valuables unsecured at any time.
All participants must follow the University of Arizona’s Policy on student behavior: http://deanofstudents.

Retention Of Work
Work produced in this course is the property of the School of Architecture, which may retain any student
project for display, accreditation, documentation, or other purposes.
Changes
This syllabus is subject to change with notice, as deemed appropriate by the instructor. The purpose of a
detailed syllabus is to make the course as transparent and as objective as possible, and thus to empower
students to understand and earn the grades to which they aspire. It is not the intention of such a system to
be used against learning or fairness.
Consequently, the professor retains the right to make adjustments that account for circumstances that were
unforeseen when the course was designed and will notify the students when such changes are made. It may,
for example, be advantageous to add or alter assignments or their criteria, or to modify criteria or project-weights, if it becomes evident that it is in the best interest of learning and fairness to do so. Students will
notify the professor within one week of notification if such changes engender a hardship, after which time it
will be agreed that students understand and are in accord with the change.
Materials in this course may be copyrighted. They are intended for use only by students registered and enrolled in the course and are
