Reason for assessment choice: To achieve excellent results in this module, a student must demonstrate comprehensive understanding and ability to select the right calculation procedure and produce numerically correct results in ALL of the three key aspects of the module: (1) Single Degree of Freedom (SDOF) systems, (2) Multiple Degree of Freedom (MDOF) systems and (3) Vibration serviceability assessment of design schemes. Threshold levels are achieved by students who demonstrate limited but sufficient understanding of the calculation procedures.
