weakness/remedies

The following shortcomings were observed from the candidates’ work:

  • Poor knowledge and skills of dimensioning techniques.
  • Inability to produce drawing to a specified scale.
  • Failure to distinguish a building floor level from the ground (formation) level.
  • Difficulty in representing doors! on plan with appropriate conventional symbols.

To overcome these shortcomings:

  • candidates should be given ample relevant graded assignments that will test various skills of dimensioning techniques;
  • candidates should be taught the appropriate scale used for different types of drawing.
  • teachers should lay emphasis on the level and the ground (formation) level.
  • chart illustrating how some key building features such as doors and windows are represented graphically on plan, section and elevation should be displayed in their drawing studio.
