Materials used
Syllabus Road Construction: ing. R. DE VIERMAN
Normative guidelines (SB250)
OCW announcements, design guidelines
Study costs
Syllabus Road Construction (ing. R. DE VIERMAN): 10 EUR
Student licence CAD: 50 EUR
Printing plans: 80 EUR
Study guidance
The students can ask questions during the theory sessions and the lab sessions. They can also email questions to the coaches at all times.
Teaching Methods
Formal lecture and lab exercise.
Assessment
Theory (oral/written examination): 60%
Lab exercise (individual work): 40%
However, if a student gains a score of 7 or less on 20 on one of the different courses (parts of training items), he proves that his skill for certain subcompetencies is insufficient. Consequently, one can turn from the arithmetical calculation of the final assignment of quotas of a training item and the new marks can be awarded on consensus. Of course the examiners can judge that the arithmetic regulations mentioned in the study index card can also be used for 7 or less.
For each deviation a detailed motivation ought to be drawn up. In that case one should point out that the skill for this subcompetency is proven to be insufficient, if the student didn’t pass the partim that is considered to be important for certain subcompetencies.
