This course is delivered by Distance Learning, where the students will access the teaching content via the web (MyAberdeen) in 3 blocks at 4 week intervals.
The course tutor will be contactable on the on-line forum, as well as via
email.

Assessment is by coursework alone, and will consist of three pieces of coursework (worth 15%, 35% and 50% of the total course mark). In all assignments clear and logical presentation is emphasised, as is the ability to produce clear sketches, reasonably to scale.
Re-sit – 3 coursework assignments (15%, 35%, 50%) with previous coursework marks, with a maximum CAS mark of 9.
Students must complete a series of short multiple choice quizzes to test their understanding of the course notes, and to release further course materials at defined stages through the half session.
Students receive individual, written feedback on their coursework for all three continuous assessment assignments via MyAberdeen. Whole-class feedback will be posted, where indicated.
