Unit 9 learning goal Module learning goal Review Criteria 0 1 2 3 Sustainable design: Reduction in water consumption 1 1 Explanation of implemented sustainable strategies for reduction of water consumption in the landscape and in the buildings Sustainability of chosen design is unclear Minimal evidence of sustainable design, but not explicit Sustainable strategies were implemented, but not well described or understood Clear description and implementation of a sustainable design that utilizes methods to reduce water consumption 1, 2 3 Explanation of rationale for their selection of strategies including the scientific basis Lack of explanation re. why certain strategies were chosen Minimal rationale given for selection of strategies Some rationale given, but not well explained or described Clear explanation re. why strategies were chosen including the scientific basis for their selection Documentation of their work with defensible and accurate calculations Major confusion or mistakes in the methods and major errors in results Calculations mostly done correctly, but some mistakes in the methods Calculations done correctly, but some minor mistakes like errors in unit conversion Calculations done correctly 4 Evidence of iteration on different options No iteration on different options Minimal iteration on different options Some iteration performed, but either the results were not implemented, or not explained Iteration between different options in decision process resulted in selection of chosen strategy Sustainable design: Reduction in water runoff 1 1 Achieved sustainability goal of developed runoff = runoff Sustainability of chosen design is unclear and no attempt made to reduce developed runoff to natural levels Minimal evidence of sustainable design, but not explicit Sustainable strategies were implemented, but not well described or understood Consideration of storm water in sustainability of design and clearly achieved goal of reducing developed runoff to natural levels 1, 2 3 Explanation of their rationale for their selection of strategies including the scientific basis Lack of explanation re. why certain strategies were chosen Minimal rationale given for selection of strategies Some rationale given, but not well explained or described Clear explanation of why strategies were chosen including the scientific basis for their selection
