"there is still plenty of time to screw it up" Love that quote. Great one Drew. Agreed on the overall view of grades here. An additional personal comment, as someone who hires people: I'm absolutely not interested in a person's grades, would find it even weird if a candidate showed me his or her grades. What matters is personality, enthusiasm, skill and quality of work (in that particular order).
I am a first semester student in architecture school right now and going through the stress of the grey area in regard to knowing where I stand in my studio grading wise. I guess I just need to let it go and do my best work I can and not stress about the grade. It’s tough. It’s so different than any other academic experience I’ve ever had before.
Very nice video! Just to share a personal experience Many years ago I had a teacher who called me stupid and embarrassed me in front of an entire classroom because I was learning different than the others. That teacher lost her job the next day. It physiologically affected me for years. I am now going on four years of successfully working in interior design and have a strong interest in architecture. Thank you for your videos.
agreed. but if you can make a good portfolio might as well get good grades, cause you can and putting effort into those 5+ years of university will help you your entire career.
I like the idea of grades you presented, they are simply data of how you performed in a class rather than a measure of quality in your work. I find critiques are the real test of quality, show your everything to a fresh audience and defend your work against as much criticism as you can. Have you made an advise video about critiques?
+The Janitor it's been a while since I talked about that, but here is a playlist with my videos about presentations: ruclips.net/p/PLl9MZ920ViZAJ8kkH1hlIPOxZnGFcLxEd I hope this helps.
@@DrewPaulBell hi Drew Paul Bell, i just wanna say i love how your advices are realistic and straightforward. This is exactly what i need. I could pour in more words abt how much i love and appreciate this video but my brain is already so drained from doing my final studio project so i hope u get the idea just how helpful i find your video to be. Good health to you man.
I have a question! I’m from Germany and want to know if the school of architecture the same is like an university? Because I wanted to study architecture at Oxford university but I’ve heard that there is no option to study architecture at Oxford so I want now to study it at Oxford books university But I’m still confused if the Oxford books university the same is as Oxford university! Thanks for this great video
I feel like producing good work and getting good grades are connected. If you do good work then you get good grades; if you do crappy work then you get crappy grades.
Hi, is architecture as stressful as they say? I am last year of high school with art as a subject and its already stresseful. Do you think I will be able to handle it? I dont want to be stressed out for the rest of my life if I choose arch.
I just finished my first semester and it's the most stressful thing I have ever done in my entire life, but also .. it's so unbelievably worth it if architecture's your passion. I don't think I'd ever regret studying architecture, because it really fullfills me. Sometimes, especially when a project doesn't get the grades I'd want it to, I feel like I can never do it right and nothing makes any sense, but the next day I'm just so glad I produced something that I am really really proud of.

+Heather RO I'm glad you enjoy the vids! And I'm even more glad you didn't let a bad teacher deter you!
I'd argue folios matter more than grades.

Great video! Thanks for the tips
I agree. Communication with others is a huge part and being able to produce. Showing what you can put out with quality matters.
+101mercenary absolutely!
they matter to employers to a certain extend when comparing candidates.
Thank you man! Keep on doing videos plsss...
Thank you I needed this

someone sent this to me as an example on how to not answer questions
great stuff! :D
your video are so helpful!
+pop tart awesome!
Having good people skills is undervalued in architecture, if you’re good in studio but a social quack, it will hurt you in the long run
You’re right. It’s probably undervalued in school, but I think out in the profession, people recognize the importance.

can i still be architect if i have failed grade in high school ?
I feel like producing good work and getting good grades are connected. If you do good work then you get good grades; if you do crappy work then you get crappy grades.
i believe it's improvement, started from being terrible to a better one.
c'mon man i need motivation to get good grades XD
