How can this knowledge be applied in your architectural designs? What are your new personal interests developed from the ideas in this course?

Refer to “Creating your personal archive” for more detailed information on creating your Journal, and refer to Assignment 2 for ideas about content. When assessing your final Course Work Journal, your Academic Expert will look for coherence and focus throughout. Here are some elements that your Academic Expert will look for: Does the Journal demonstrate your engagement with course content throughout? (Answering study questions demonstrates this, for example.) Does the Journal develop a theme that either relates to something in your personal statement from Assignment 1 or develops the topics presented in Assignment 1? Do the various sections of the Journal combine to form a connected whole? Is the overall presentation aesthetically pleasing, well organized, and free of grammatical and spelling errors? Does the Journal demonstrate a consistent pattern of engagement with the course materials and a gradual improvement in research and writing capacities? Does the Journal include answers to the study questions for each unit? [If you have submitted them throughout the course, you do not need to submit them again here.] Does the Journal show evidence of independent inquiries, creative thinking, and wider general reading? This is where you can demonstrate progressive and cumulative mastery of the course themes, materials, and essential research, study, and writing skills.
