There will be 2 projects assigned during the semester. One will focus on the qualitative aspects of acoustics and how these impact the architecture of listening spaces. The second project will explore lighting issues and the distribution of light from a source by constructing a full scale mock-up of an electrical lighting fixture. These projects will be announced in class and will span approximately two to three weeks each. Approximately 10 short homework assignments will be assigned to reinforce important issues in the course and to help prepare students for the course tests.
Students are responsible for bringing questions to the discussion sessions.
Please make note of this. Attendance in all scheduled course activities is required. Students are responsible for attending the course on a regular basis. Tests and homework assignments will be generated primarily from the course lectures. Therefore, attending class, taking personal notes and reviewing these notes will greatly contribute to success on the homework assignments and tests.
