The course was set up in such a way that the professor and TAs would introduce technical topics and software in the course, and you would practice using it either through handouts or homework. In this course, you will cover how to use the programs Revit, Autodesk ReCap, Navisworks, and laser scanning technology. Additionally, you will discuss drones, DroneDeploy, LiDAR, VDC coordination, VDC management and control, and AI. Overall, the content of the course was very interesting.

In regard to the professor, the class often felt well underprepared. For a technology-based course, I should have expected that there would be A LOT of helping students set up programs; Nonetheless, it was still frustrating to sit around in class for 2 hours doing nothing because some students didn't work ahead and set up the programs prior to class. Many classes felt haphazardly prepared, often messy in organization, and the TA/Professor was not always the best at being available during their office hours (hence why the class is 3 hours long).

Course-wise, the assignments consist of several reading/Revit design projects, in-class handouts, and a semester project where you create a building on grounds together as a class in Revit/Navisworks. The Revit textbook readings were mostly fine, teaching me more about Revit design than the actual class did. In-class handouts were easy and acted as introductions to content (the textbook did most of the heavy lifting). The semester project can either be a fine or frustrating experience; in my case, it got frustrating fast. My individual group was required to recreate a certain area, then we were told our scope was enlarged, and we had to do more work, but we didn't have enough scans to work with the area. We were also rushed during scanning our building section, leading to messy ReCap files and merging. My group would often leave on random trips and vacations with no warning or preparation, leaving me to work on the first 2/3 of the project myself. When we merged our file with other groups' files, ours looked way better since theirs were missing entire sections of the building, and every floor was missing furniture. Overall, while I am still waiting on our grade, I feel that my floor (which consisted of 2 groups only) was the best prepared and had the least amount of work. The groups "coordinated" - meaning they barely spoke with one another and struggled to come to unanimous decisions on walls, scopes of work, etc.

I think my entire project floor team would agree that this class is super interesting content-wise, but execution-wise, it needs more preparation and a better course structure, where the class is flexible with tech issues but stable in terms of assignments, content to be covered, and scopes of work for project groups.
