lesson15 Psychological evaluation for visual stimuli

In the first half of this seminar, students assess their designed houses by CASBEE. Through the work, students learn the calculation methods of physical elements. Additionally, students understand the meaning of planning with the consideration from the various viewpoints. In the second half, students are divided into few groups and each group conducts an experiment in every week on a rotation system. Students have to analyse the data obtained and to submit reports by next lesson.

The contents of experiments sometimes change. Students should come to a first lesson, because the whole schedule may change largely.

Suggestions on
Preparation and
Review
In the first half, a part of manual of CASBEE for home is distributed. Students should review it before a lesson.
In the second half, students should review a textbook, because the contents of some experiments are not included in Architectural Environment I and II. 
Requirements In the first half, it is desirable that students ask a teacher and TA positively, to solve questions and/or unclear points in a lesson.
In the second half, lateness is strictly prohibited, because some experiments spend whole 90 minutes of a lesson. 
Grading Method Reports of assessment by CASBEE in the first half (50%) and reports of experiments in the second half (50%)
