STUDIO PORTFOLIO EXAMINATION
 

What is a Portfolio Examination?

This is an examination that considers all the studio projects carried out by an individual student over the semester. All the projects are examined collectively and marks are awarded based on the progress attained/recorded over time as manifested in the quality of works carried out. A good school of architecture drives its students into discovering their latent abilities and developing them towards architectural development.

Objectives:

The examination is aimed at assessing the combined efforts of the students through out the semester, determine and evaluate any appreciable development/progress made by the student over the semester. The examination is also aimed specifically at each candidate’s ability to develop over time. Where appreciable efforts are seen in a candidate, his cumulative marks shall be upgraded based on the progress recorded. When regrettably, a candidate rather than progressing, seems to be deteriorating, such candidate will not be marked down but be noted for mentoring. In such cases, the candidate’s original cumulative marks shall remain. Where a student fails to show up for the examination, or where some of the works are not fully available, such a student shall be marked down, and may have to repeat the class.

A portfolio examination is a medium of allowing the poor or average student to demonstrate his ability of convincing the faculty of his readiness to make progress.

Form of Assessment:

There shall be a panel of examination to be set up by the department. The students shall be distributed to each panel for the examination.
All students in a class under examination must be present at the beginning of the examination. Any student who arrive late, MAY not be allowed to present his portfolio for examination. Assessment of the drawings shall be according to the following criteria.
