Candidate's Weakness and Remedies

 

A SUMMARY OF CANDIDATE’S  WEAKNESSES
            It was observed that the majority of the candidates failed to:
            -           draw the building ; elements to the specified scale;
            -           show the correct door and window types;
            -           use conventional symbols to represent key building features and elements.

 

To overcome these weaknesses, candidates should be well grounded in the rudiments of technical drawing which includes:
-         the subject teacher should help the students acquire and develop skills in the
art of dimensioning by posting a chart illustrating various dimensioning techniques in a conspicuous place in their drawing studio, giving them frequent graded drawing assignments or projects involving dimensioning, use of symbols illustrating building materials and enforcing students possession  of the recommended technical or architectural  drawing textbooks.

  •       The students should be helped to become well acquinted with types of door and   

      window. They should be made often to prepare doors and window schedules of     
proposed building.
