How this works: a. You are to read the assigned exercise in the assigned chapter(s) for the week b. Do every exercise in that chapter c. Submit a REVIT drawing for each finished chapter exercise d.

Do not e mail me exercises 4 Professor Josef Stagg, PhD University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee

4. This is how each exercise must be named: yourlogonname-ex-01 5. For instance, if I were submitting the first exercise for Week 02 from Chapter 01, the name of the drawing file would look like this: jstagg Ex-01 6. Where: a. jstagg is my logon name b. Ex is for the exercise c. 01 is for the first set of exercise d. Use 02 for the second week, etc. 7. Exercises not following this naming procedure will not be graded Projects: 1. Generally, there is one part of the semester-long project due each week 2. This project will be a modern tall building or a skyscraper that is at least 50-stories tall 3. You will be required to submit information or other materials about the project each week 4. The project is worth 70% of your final grade 5. For all projects not submitted, 8-points will be deducted from your final grade 6. For the project you will work in REVIT, so submit each part of the project when called for in the proper DROP BOX for projects 7. Use this convention to name each consecutive part of the project: jstagg P 01, jstagg P 02, and so on Which stands for: yourlogonname-p-01- and the project number 5 Professor Josef Stagg, PhD University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
