There are three sections in the questionnaire. The first part A (A1 to A9) wasdevoted to design of the Web, provision of software and hardware, and logistic arrangement.The second part B (B1 to B9) was a delineation of the subject management andcommunication channels. The last part C (C1 to C9) was about the instructional design ofthe subject. Students were asked to give an overall rating (A10, B10, C10) of each part.

The formula used for calculation the value for B is: B : A = A : (A+B) ‘A’ can be found from the floor plan with graphic scale. It is also the height for that square. Value of variable ‘B’ is the height of the rectangular, which is unknown. The value of variable ‘C’can be found from the floor plan and C equals to A + B. With a simple mathematic calculation, it is easy to find out the value for B, which is about 3’- 10”. The other way can be used is to use the irrational number 0.618 along with the formula B: A

Here are some of the responses given bythese students:Student A: “With this list of objectives students will have a means of self-assessmentwhich promote confidence, and encourage progress. Also, self-assessment is furtherreinforced in the exercise component imbedded within the module. All of this makes thestructure of the course very suitable for independent study and skill acquisition.”Student B: “I think that someone who is very computer knowledgeable should have aneasy time with this lesson. I think that I personally got more out of having you explainand demonstrate the lesson in front of me while I was following along on my computer

Admittedly, some universities include their communication courses on a larger list of electives that were included as humanities electives. • B: Humanities – most programs had some breadth requirement that included courses in political science, economics, history, psychology, sociology, etc. • C: Math and Science – these courses included math (calculus, statistics, differential equations), basic science (chemistry, physics, biology, ecology), and computer science where the emphasis is on programming or computer theory rather than CAD drawing or computer applications. • D

The spatial transferability of the facultyevaluation mechanisms, without regard to spatial socio-cultural differences, is discussed in thisstudy based on the collected data and following a thorough literature review and statisticalanalysis. The result of this study is the extension of the previous year study. It was found thatstudents’ GPA has direct relations with their perceptions regarding teaching evaluations.Students with higher GPAs are against missing lectures by faculty and disapprove the acceptanceof a lower class performance by faculty. Instead, they favor such course and faculty traits ashaving

This process includes an entire steel buildingdesign, from building code research through preliminary and final design of a steel structure toproduction of construction documents for the project.Historically this course has centered around a steel building design project in which studentteams where responsible for the design and documentation of the steel structure. Based on thatcourse model, problems became apparent in subsequent structural design courses and in thecomprehensive design studio. These problems included the fact that a large percentage of thestudents were not aware of the structural design process necessary to complete a buildingdesign. A
