Abstract

This paper investigates the utility of a scale specifically designed to evaluate work produced in the architectural studio. The primary aim of the scale is to provide design critique to students, while fostering motivation. The data to be presented in this study were gathered during a studio class of the core curriculum from 20 undergraduate students of the Department of Architecture at Uludag University. Students were asked to compare two alternative evaluation processes, color-coding and smiley faces, both with verbal descriptions, to the conventional 100-point grading scale. The quality and effectiveness of the rating scales in assessing creative work was evaluated.
