Since 2009, hundreds of students from around the world have taken this "Introduction to Architecture" course.  Most have followed this course with one or more of my Advanced Architecture Courses.  I am excited to be able to offer this curriculum to the OutSchool Community

提供的家庭作業
Students should expect to do 6-10 hours of homework for this course every two weeks/lesson.

4+ 每週課外時間
提供的評估
Students are given a rubric for self-assessments, formative assessments throughout the course, and a summative assessment of their final project and portfolio.  
For those students wanting to use this course for credit, Mrs. G.  will assign students a letter grade for each lesson and a final grade/completion certificate after a student completes the course.   For students who want the experience of this course, Mrs. G.  will give encouraging reviews of each lesson - but a parent must specific this intention.
