Course Description
and Outcomes
This is
an Introductory to Revit Architecture for designers using the PC. Students
learn the role and application of Revit Architecture in graphic communication
and interior design while producing architectural and interior design projects
in 3D. Lectures, textbook and hands-on
work in the Revit lab familiarize students with the Revit software and its
basic operations. Students will work on
two residential projects which include plan, elevation and section drawings and
schedules along with 3D perspective, axonometric and presentation drawings. Between lectures and working through the
textbook and completing the required projects, students should gain a solid
skill set from which to continue building.
Students successfully
completing Introduction to Revit will:
·
Develop
an appreciation of Building Information Modeling, specifically Revit
Architecture software, as an important tool for design and graphics.
·
Demonstrate
an ability to:
o
Use
Revit Architecture workspace and interface.
o
Draw
plans with wall, windows and doors.
o
Create
sections, elevations and 3D views.
o
Add
component features, such as furniture and equipment.
o
Build
structural girds, walls and columns, roofs, floors and ceilings.
o
Create
complex objects such as stairs and curtain walls.
o
Create
and add a title block to a project.
o
Set
up sheets for plotting with text, dimensions, detail, tags and schedules.
Studio Etiquette
This is as much a studio as it is a computer
lab. The class will meet in L116 with the instructor, unless other arrangements
are announced. Attendance is mandatory.
That includes being on time and paying attention. Most students
experience no problems with regards to their attendance. Since that is
not the case for all students, I want it to be clear that I adhere to the
attendance policy outlined in the Arts and Humanities Division's
"Student Procedures and Expectations," which you can find at: http://bellevuecollege.edu/artshum/policy.html. Our
class is scheduled to meet 22 times this quarter. 20% of 22
is 4.4 class sessions. Missing class more than this may result in you
receiving a No Pass grade.
Both lab and studio
work will consist of experimentation, critique, review, and evaluation of the
assigned work. Expect to spend at least 6-10 hours work outside of studio,
either reading or working on assignments. Arrange your schedule to take
advantage of open lab times. All the
computers in L121 and I believe a few stations in N251 (a specialized lab
across from N250 Computer Lab) also have Revit.
Be prepared, every
class period, for desk critiques –
informal discussions with the instructor of in-progress work. Time and
attention you receive may be proportional to the amount of time and attention
you spent preparing for class. Establish a schedule and demonstrate
progressively more refined skills and ideas each class period. If your work
shows no progress, this will be reflected in your evaluations.
If you need help
during a lecture/demonstration, ask a lab assistant. Also, don’t hesitate to
ask for help from, or offer help to, someone nearby.
Be prepared to work
during every class. Bring assigned work in progress and any needed materials to
the studio every day the class meets and start on-going work immediately,
unless a demonstration is occurring.
Practice
maintaining a professional atmosphere. This means developing good work habits
and limiting conversation – as much as possible – to the work at hand. Food, including snacks and liquids, and audio
devices (even personal ones) are not allowed in the lab.
Deadlines
ALL ASSIGNMENTS are
due at the beginning of class, unless announced otherwise. Late work will be
penalized. Please notify instructor in advance of any extenuating
circumstances affecting project completion. Be sure to allow enough time for
plotting, when plots are due at the beginning of class. Printing will not be
allowed during the first part of the class without explicit instructions to do so.
Assignments and Exams
The quarter will involve self-directed
learning as you follow the textbook and complete assigned exercises. It will also involve completing an additional
assigned residential project and exams allowing you to lean by repetition. During class sessions, priority will be given
to accomplishing scheduled lectures/demonstrations and, to the extent possible,
allowing in-class time to work on assignments.
Consult the schedule for details of in-class activities, assignments and
due dates.
Evaluation
Assignments, project, in-studio performance,
and in-class examinations will be used in evaluating each student’s progress
and mastery of course material.
Assignment/Project and Exam Grades. Digital files and/or printed outputs of
assignments and project will be used in evaluating a student’s
performance. Grading of these will
follow the Bellevue College Guidelines in the Course Catalog and Student Handbook.
Familiarize yourself with the distinction between Outstanding, High, and Satisfactory versus insufficient, lacking or poor (non-passing) achievement. If you have
questions about how you are doing in class, please be considerate and make an
appointment to talk with me so that I can give you my full attention.
The instructor
reserves the right to refuse any work that has not been reviewed previously in
class. If it has not been previously reviewed or presented it may not be
accepted for credit. All assignments must be completed in order to receive a
passing grade for the course.
Studio Grade. Studio grading is based on observation of studio
performance: skills, learning approach, attendance, work habits, and progress
toward learning goals. It will also
include a student’s proficiency in completing any in-class assignments.
I realize that all
students may not advance at the same pace as we work through the assigned
exercises and exams. That’s to be expected, due to the different levels of
experience all of you bring. However, that means some must spend more time than
others to achieve a basic level of competence. All are expected to make continued progress toward individual learning goals throughout the quarter.
Students with more experience will be expected to demonstrate more proficiency in
their projects. I can provide additional practice exercises that you may pursue
if you are finished with your assignments ahead of schedule.
The instructor
reserves the right to adjust the student’s final grade based on any late work,
missed classes, unprofessional behavior (including tardiness, leaving early,
disrespect for others, poor preparation, sleeping in class, abusing studio
etiquette). I’m pretty reasonable about exceptions, but don’t abuse this
accommodation, either.

The Disability
Resource Center (DRC) serves students with a wide array of learning challenges
and disabilities. If you are a student who has a disability or a learning
challenge for which you have documentation or have seen someone for treatment
and if you feel you may need accommodations in order to be successful in
college, please contact the DRC staff as soon as possible. The DRC office is located in B132 or you can
call DRC reception desk at 425-564-2498. Deaf students can reach DRC by
video phone at 425-440-2025 or by TTY at 425-564-4110. Please visit DRC’s
website for application information into their program and other helpful links
at http://bellevuecollege.edu/drc/
Accommodations
If you require accommodation based on a
documented disability, require assistance or have medical information to share
with me in the event of an emergency situation, please contact me via email or
make an appointment with me within the first week of the quarter. Emergency preparedness is important!
Recognition
of Syllabus
It is important that you understand and are
prepared for the learning experience ahead by understanding the syllabus
contents. The syllabus is a contract
between the student and instructor, establishing our responsibilities to each
other: what I expect from you and what you can expect from me and the course,
including the learning outcomes and environment in which you’ll perform; as
well as the expected conduct, rights, and responsibilities of students in this
class. It is important that you understand and are prepared for the learning
experience ahead by understanding the syllabus contents.
Please sign below, as confirmation that
you’ve read the syllabus and that you will discuss with the instructor any
issues that you consider confusing, problematic or open to dialogue with the
entire class. If your discussion is of a personal nature, please make an
appointment with me, rather than discuss it during class.
