COURSE OUTLINE:
Historic Preservation 469, Laboratory in Preservation Planning, expands upon the methods and information learned in HISP 405 by providing students with practical experience in preservation planning. Working alone and in team settings, students will assess the new development planned next to the University of Mary Washington campus. Although it is not anticipated that the students’ final product will be ready for immediate adoption, this product will provide the community with valuable information while providing students with a realistic introduction to the preservation planning profession.
Course Objectives:
- Utilize the research, documentation, and analytical skills acquired to date by students.
- Develop a work plan for data collection and analysis in response to a specific planning project.
- Administer data collection in the field and archives.
- Critically assess planning needs and possibilities.
- Produce a professional-level planning document.
REQUIREMENTS
- Honor Code: All graded work is bound by the provisions of the Honor Code and must be pledged, signed, and dated.
- Preparation & Participation: Keeping up with readings and assignments, participating in class, and interacting with your classmates/teammates in a respectful manner will enrich the learning experience. Participation will count toward a substantial portion of your final grade.
- Attendance & Behavior: Your attendance is vital both for your learning as well as for lively class discussion. Attendance for all in class exercises or presentations is required; these cannot be made up at a later date. Students are expected to display civil and respectful behavior during class. Cell phones must be silenced in class sessions, and laptops may only be used if used in a non-disrupting manner (no instant messaging, games, or sound). Violators will be referred to the Office of Judicial Affairs.
- Graded Coursework: No passing grade can be achieved in this course without completion of all graded assignments, which are due at the beginning of class unless otherwise specified by the instructor. Late submissions will be marked down ten points per day.
