Just slid into this group. Many of the Washington State funded building design projects require a LEED certification. I’ve been involved in the number of LEED workshops on projects for community colleges in the state. I am not up to speed on the newer landscape/site related LEED certification. I know from past projects, the landscape/site related…[Read more]

That’s encouraging to hear you bring an ‘added value’ to your office and that you’re getting LEED projects (and platinum at that).Good for you!

I cannot speak to PTLexamprep, but I can say that greenexamprep is fairly accurate when they claim that if you can score over 80% on their tests then you are probably pretty well prepared for the actual exam. Hang in there.

Yeah, you’re probably just over thinking it a little. I used the chart in the LEED AP Walkthrough, which is probably the same as the one on IntheLeed.com. I will say that there weren’t that many questions that related directly to project roles in the particular question pool that I had when I sat for the test (maybe 5), what I can say is that…[Read more]

Anyone still studying to pass under LEED 2.2:
There are 2 resources that I used to study that I think were critical to success, I think these have been mentioned before but If you’re on the fence about what resources to spend your money on here’s what I think are the two best values:

I have to throw my support behind Intheleed.com’s LEED AP…[Read more]

Hi Tyler! I am an ’06 OSU grad and work for Crafton Tull Sparks in Tulsa. It is funny talking to anyone who has graduated OSU in the last 20 years. They all have their stories about professors… Welcome to Oklahoma!

That is funny, hope you are enjoying Tulsa Tyler.

Hello, OSU Grads.

My name’s Tyler and I just moved to Tulsa from Minnesota. I graduated from the NDSU Landscape Architecture Program in Fargo, ND in ’08. I’m working at LandPlan Consultants. It’s funny to hear you talk about the professors. Almost everyone here is an OSU Grad. I have heard Janell Milbrum and Michael Crumb (current employees and…[Read more]

Stupid Economy!!! I agree Cassi lots of room for improvement. I think an internship requirement for a semester in fourth year would be a huge improvement.

Besides no boss wants to spend a year teaching you. Not his job.

Me being the slacker not you Cassi.

Cassi,

Coming form the biggest slacker in school. Do not see things so shortsighted. School is where you get your first set of tools for the profession. It is a time that sets a foundation to be able to learn efficiently in the field. Could the program be updated sure always. As a professional would you want others just to be able to start…[Read more]

Not a message to send to America’s youth!

I know Stephen, but you do in the real world ALOT. It is on the LARE and it is easier to keep it fresh than to have to go back and relearn it without a professor’s patience.

I paid attention to that but we rarely use it later on in other class projects…

Pay attention to your Construction grading classes with Prof. Ritter. Much easier to learn in classroom.

Cassi,
I always new you had a sweet spot for Dr. Leider.
