Thanks Tim and Cynthia. Next webinar will really get into strategic thinking about perspectives and drawing composition – my favorites! I’ll cook up some more video clips and hopefully control the camera focus a bit more than in last night’s program.

Webinar was really great – nice mix of refresher and new info. So helpful to keep up to date on materials and processes and see through Jim’s crystal ball into the future.

Great webinar last night, Jim!  Looking forward to part 2 next week!

Tad, I don’t know why Russ would write it as 1:4. That’s not the “conventional” way of doing it.

Ray and everyone,
 
I am taking B here shortly but I have a lingering question about the slope steepness ratio method.  Norman Booth is writing it horizontal first, verical second 4:1(Basic Elements of Landscape Architectural Design, page 31).  Thomas Russ is writing it in reverse 1:4 (Site Planning and Design, Page 125) Is there a reason why the…[Read more]

Is a great LARE Section A Flashcard set to look at.
 

Curly,
 
The LATC has it’s own standards on eligibility to take the exam. You can get info off their web site.
 
The webinars are recorded. I think if you register as a pro member thru Land 8 you can view the webinar content at your leisure. Check with Andrew Spiering (the founder of the site) on procedures.

Hi. Just joined the discussion and the section D seminar.
(1) How do I check out the 1st part of section D that I missed 6 hours ago?
(2) I’ve passed sections A and B.  B on the first try and A on the second.  I was able to take them because I received an AA in Landscape Architecture from Truckee Meadows Community College in Reno, NV in ’09.  …[Read more]

Hi all, 
 
I am retaking Section B in March and trying to focus on my weaknesses which from the diagnostic feedback seem to be the Inventory and Analysis Sections.
Would anyone have any recommendations of certain chapters to read through? (That would pertain to Inventory and Analysis) I have all the reference books for B.  I am afraid I will st…[Read more]

Please use the group forum to post questions, discussion topics, and to setup study groups, etc.
 
Thanks!

I like it a lot.  It takes you through the entire process.  the analysis, programming for the different types of designs, sustainability, grading, infrastructure, and restoring and preserving landscapes.
I’m glad I bought it, for the test and for after.

Jeffrey,
What do you think of the Russ Book?

Thanks Ray.  I am reading that book right now.  I also have Site Planning and Design Handbook by Thomas Russ

Site Analysis by James LaGro is an excellent book for B. Also, review the ASLA Code of Environmental Ethics.

Who has passed Sec. B, and what is your strategy?

I’m setting this discussion group up as an information exchange resource for people sitting for the exam. Perhaps it will be helpful in de-mystifying these sections for the users.
You can perhaps also use it to set up a long distance study group, find people local to you with whom to study, and ask questions of people knowledgeable about the…[Read more]

Thanks!

Can I get some feedback on my current resume? I’m applying to graduate programs for next fall and can you use all the advice I can take on tweaking it. Thanks!!Brittany Resume Fall 2010.pdf

Christopher- The thing that stood out the most is your resume. Move your education down towards the bottom- below everything other than maybe affiliations. With it on top, above professional experience, you are making it look like it is more important than your actual work.

Mark, I wouldn’t hesitate to go back to your old employer to ask for more samples. That employer could be very understanding of the circumstances “out there” and want to help you. – Who knows, maybe he will have just gotten a big job and will need to hire you back!
Good luck
