WD General Feedback

I'm half way through grading the WD projects, and I am beginning to see how easy it would be to have a melt-down and lay waste.
So rather than repeat myself ad-nauseum on every feedback sheet I am going to post here some typical comments. (all without expletives).
  • The titleblock is formatted incorrectly, missing revision/ issue number.
  • General notes are not complete or missing entirely.
  • Site Plan
    • Remember
      • CONTEXT
      • SERVICES
      • EXTERNAL WORKS
    • The site plans are far from complete, which is always an issue, given they are the first sheet we do and see. It does not bode well for the rest of the set, if the first sheet assessed is incomplete.
    • All the elements on the WD checklists need to be reviewed and incorporated into the drawings.
    • Structural grids not set out.
    • NO ADJOINING BUILDINGS indicated on ANY drawings.
  • Floor Plan
    • Missing dimensions for some windows and doors
    • Saw cut joints and panel joints not shown. 
    • A lack of notation
    • Some walls not hatched
    • Weird formatting on call outs
  • Elevations
    • Ground line not resolved.
    • Backlining a mess.
    • Discrepancies with the building form from front to side elevations.
    • lack of dimensions
    • lack of notation.
  • Details.
    • No structural grids shown
    • lack of dimensions
    • generic notation
    • poor lineweight
    • oddly scaled hatching
  • Generally
    • Incorrect labelling of drawings
    • Poor formatting choices.
    • Sheets submitted not landscape.
    • No evidence of timesheets
    • Only 6 people showed me mark up sets.
    • Project not complete.
      • Given the extraordinary time we had for this project, AND the time you had in construction to iron out any misunderstandings, or confusion, I am quite stunned at the cad speed many people displayed in class. (Glacial). I am also concerned that the hours of homework being done across all subjects is a fraction of what I think needs to be done to pass this year. (but this needs verifying with time sheets.)
  • Sections
    • Incomplete
  • Additional
    • Timesheets: I will be asking for these from now on weekly. for WD and Design.
    • Mark up sets need to be produced earlier and used regularly each week.
