There will be two exams during the semester: an midterm at mid-semester and a final exam during exam period at the end of the semester. Both exams will test your ability to recognize works studied in lecture, to use the vocabulary of architecture learned in lecture and the readings, and to write effectively about the significance of the sites studied in class. The hour exam will cover material studied to that point; the final exam will cover the material studied after the hour exam. There will be a review session for each exam in class.
For both midterm and final exams, you are responsible for being able to recognize slides of the buildings discussed in the lectures and readings. These can be viewed either from the lecture schedule or from the review lists below.
