3. Name: Ar. Roil 9eeping

Answer: 4"e ost coon ista*es ( a!e in t"e Arc"itect&re practice

are :%; ( ass&e too &c". D"en ( say ( ass&e too &c" ( ean

t"e #ay y !elegates@constr&ction #or*ers "an!le y

1. Name: Ar. Dillia Malone

Answer: Coon ista*es #ere alrea!y pointe! so in or!er to a'oi!

t"ese ista*es, *no#le!ge an! s*ills are greatly nee!e!. Kno#le!ge in

a*ing #or*ing !ra#ings an! s*ills in ipleenting t"e on site.

ANAL(SIS:

<n being a st&!ent, t"e ost coon ista*e is t"e tie. Mostly

arc"itect&re st&!ents !on)t *no# "o# to anage t"eir tie an! t"ey en! &p
