Description |
Directed discussion |
Periodically crisis sessions will be held in order to discuss in an informal way the results of the group work, this discussion can be led by a moderator. |
Oral presentation |
Students do presentations, with the support of ICT, of the results of their work, interacting with teachers and other students. |
Field trip |
The field trip helps to know the buildings to be analyzed.
|
Guest lecture / keynote speech |
Aimed at the conceptual introduction and providing the information necessary for the development of workshop exercises. |
Events academic / information |
To deepen the knowledge of specialized aspects of the subject that can provide new information to the general aspects of the course. |
Workshop |
In the workshops all methodologies (presentations, simulations, debates, problem solving, supervised exercises, etc.) are combined simultaneously on practical tasks, with the assistance of the teacher.
|
Mixed objective/subjective test |
This is a test of theoretical and practical content in which students show their progress in the knowledge of the methodology of the subject. It will be done during class time and will be submitted for class evaluation at the end of the session.

Description |
Evaluation is a continuous process, in which the activity in each of the sessions of the course developed by the student is monitored and recorded. Periodically and whenever the student requires, he is informed of the level reached by his exercises in relation to the objectives of the subject. There is a period at the end of the course, free of theoretical sessions and workshops, in which the care is provided exclusively individually, so that each student is oriented in order to achieve the objectives of the subject and even the excellence. At all times of the semester teachers provide students individually with additional support in a suitable timetable. |

Assessment comments |
The student must attend the keynote sessions and present the graphic works, models, etc. put forward in the workshops, with the level of quality required to pass the course. Attendance to the theoretical and practical sessions and workshops is compulsory at least 80%. Without this requirement, the student will not pass the course. In order to pass the subject, the student will have two opportunities: January and July. The first one coincides with the date of submission of the last job, and may enable students to pass the course. Students who do not pass this first opportunity, may take a second one, which will consist of a practical exam in July. The submission of exercises below 80% implies a grade of "Absent" in the two assessment opportunities. Therefore, the student must repeat the course from start to finish. It is essential to deliver the specific practices of the subject, including the 3rd semester workshop with Projects 3 in order to pass each of the subjects that make up the workshop. This will amount to 20% of the final grade. Students who do not submit practices -wholly or partly- required in the workshop will be graded with an "Absent" in all subjects of the workshop. Students who do not pass the subject Projects 3 on the two opportunities, must attend the workshop the following year. In that case, students will do all the course work of the subjects that they did not pass. Students who passed the subject Projects 3 but did not pass any of the other subjects of the workshop, will have to redo their exercises with the corrections suggested by their teachers. Students enrolled after the start of the academic year, must attend the theoretical and practical classes from the date of enrollment, with the possibility of new dates of submission. MOBILITY: Teaching students on mobility programs will be adapted to teaching conditions as well as supervised exercises and tests.

Other comments |
Incoming students need to be highly proficiency on drawing skills, both analogycal either digital ones. We highly recommend to acces only if ANALISIS 1 has been superated. This subject should not be taken simultaneously with superior workshops. This subject must be attended in conjunction with Proyectos 4 and Urbanismo 1 of the same semester. Mobile phones, tablets or computers in theoretical classes are not allowed for non academic purposes. Violation of this rule may result in the immediate expulsion from the classroom. |
