Methodologies Description
Field trip Activities developed in a context external to the university academic environment related to the field of study of the subject, linked mainly to the understanding of the "place" where the workshop work is proposed. These activities focus on the development of capacities related to direct and systematic observation, the collection of information, the execution of sketches, photographs, sketches, designs, and the analysis of the places that are the object of the project.
Workshop Aimed at the development of practical work, well linked to other subjects, in the context of carrying out a specific project (architecture workshop); or by solving practical exercises, typical of urban intervention instruments (subject workshop). Urban aspects will be addressed, both analytical and projectual as well as instrumental, related to the project being drafted.
Document analysis Methodological technique that involves the use of audiovisual and/or bibliographic documents (fragments of documentary reports or films, current news, graphic panels, photographs, biographies, articles, magazines, historical and current plans, texts, etc.) relevant to the subject matter with activities specifically designed for their analysis. It can be used as a general introduction to a topic, as a case study application instrument, for the explanation of processes that cannot be directly observed, for the presentation of complex situations or as a synthesis. Fundamentally aimed at familiarizing the student with the sources of urban information.
Diagramming It consists of a synthesis of the main contents worked on. It is an optimal resource to facilitate the understanding of reality and/or text and personal concentration on the material under study. Analysis, synthesis and diagnosis of the problems posed by the proposed case study. It is also an important aid for revision and exam preparation.
Student portfolio It is made up of the sketches, diagrams, reflections that the student accumulates throughout the development of the practice and the final presentation of the documentation prepared by the student during the workshops.
ICT practicals Methodology that allows students to learn effectively, through practical activities (demonstrations, simulations, etc.) the theory of a field of knowledge, through the use of information and communication technologies. ICTs are an excellent support and channel for information processing and practical application of knowledge, facilitating learning and development of students. Facilitates access to urban information, as well as its subsequent analysis.
Guest lecture / keynote speech Oral presentation complemented by the use of audiovisual media and the introduction of some questions addressed to the students, in order to transmit knowledge and facilitate learning on specific topics that are considered essential for the development of practical work.
Practical test: Test in which the student is expected to fully or partially develop some practice that they have previously done during the practical classes. The practical test may previously include the resolution of a question/problem that results in the practical application of a certain technique or practice learned.
Mixed objective/subjective test Test that integrates essay test type questions and objective test type questions.
As for essay questions, collect open development questions. In addition, as objective questions, you can combine multiple-choice, ordering, short-answer, discrimination, completion, and/or association questions. The test will also be linked to the specific work developed during the course.
