MEASUREMENT 3

The core subject for this semester is also about measuring but the only difference is the materials and components. I have learnt about the taking off for various types of openings like windows and door such as timber louvred window, metal frame door, timber panel door and so on. There will be a mid-term test which is 25%, a combination of group and individual assignment which consists of 25% and also 50% of final exam.

Thanks to our lecturer, I have not only learnt about taking off but also understand more of how the frame and glazing are installed as he explained to us in class and making the whole lecture more interesting. By explaining the process of installation make it easier for us to complete our taking off of the openings.

I learnt a lot from this subject and gained more knowledge on the measurement for different types of openings which is very useful for me in the future especially in my career. While doing the assignment, I have improved my interpersonal skills during discussions and understand the power of teamwork. Moreover, we have to solve problems during measurement with effective solutions when completing the task by thinking critically. As for the individual part, we were taught to use the new software called Glodon. I find this software very useful. It can build a 3D model of a whole building and also make taking off easier. It is a very good experience for me and I can also improve my skills on digital literacy by using Glodon software.
