MARK DISTRIBUTION Problem Sets 40% (probably eight problem sets) Midterm 20% (given at, or near, week 7) Exam 40% (scheduled during the final exam period) Students are expected to achieve at least 50% in both the final exam and combined term work (midterm, problem sets, and term project) to pass the course. The exams are normally knowledge, skills and values based. I plan to attempt having both a closed book and open book portion for the midterm and final exams. The closed book sections will deal with basic knowledge and facts. These facts should be well understood by the naval architecture student and should be described in his/her own words. The open book section of the exam will test the student on skills and values. In general, this section will ask, you able to apply your analytical skills to solve a particular ship problem and are “Are you able to assess the results to provide a conclusion or recommendation for further action.” TEXTBOOK AND REFERENCES There are two prescribed textbooks for this course. by Dokkum is an attractive and easy to read introduction to everything Ship Knowledge in ship design.
