knowledge of students in pre-
requisite subjects. (The lecturer
must inform his/her student’s
score as to give them idea of their
knowledge of the course)

the nature and form of the course.
Upon handing the students’ score from
the diagnostic exam, the class must be
given a slight knowledge (refer to
Learning Outcomes #1) about the
course.

idea/understanding of the
interconnected/overlapping relationships
of past subjects related to the course.
3 Students must now have an added
knowledge of the course+learnings from
Week 1
Students must be knowledgeable with
the necessary building codes
appropriate for the plate.
Familiarity with building codes must be
intensified and students must meet that
objective.
Methodology
1 Lecture (Powerpoint Presentation,
Scale Model)
2 Discussions
3 Diagnostic Exam for Planning and
other related subjects to the course.
4 Create Priority lists of topics to be
refreshed/reviewed in the coming
meeting.
*The lecturer of the course must
contact the professors of pre-requisite
subjects and have a survey of the
topics discussed. Topics that were
failed to be discussed should have a

3 THREE-WAY LEARNING
STRATEGY-The lecturer will
administer three activities: Building
Code Writing, Esquisse and Oral
Presentation.
3A. BUILDING CODE Review:
Students will list down (individual note
taking) all the standards for
SUBDIVISION Development (i.e. NBC,
Green Building Codes, etc). This will
be part of their written exercise.
3B. ESQUISSE: The lecturer will then
administer an esquisse, schematics or
developmental stage of the plate,
based from the written codes and
standards of the students.
3C. ORAL PRESENTATION: Students
will present their outputs before the
class. (Discretion of the lecturer; Must
be done in rounds so that everyone
can speak).
