| Methodologies |
| Methodologies | Description |
| Introductory activities | Activities to be carried out before starting the process of teaching and learning in order to know the skills, interests and / or motivation of the students in order to achieve the objectives. Their goal is to obtain relevant information that would allow the teaching to foster efficient and meaningful learning from the students' prior knowledge. |
| Guest lecture / keynote speech | This methodology has to do with the foundations of knowledge of the subject specified in the contents. In these classes, the students have a receptive aptitude following the presentations by supporting drawings on the blackboard, screen projections and digital tools (ICT). Students take notes and ask questions about the issues raised. It aims to develop the lessons, providing both concepts and the necessary tools for their understanding from a perspective in which the architecture is always present. |
| Workshop | This is where the student participates actively in the learning process, facing the need to assess, respond and experience all the knowledge of the lectures, to which must conform. There are two types of exercises: 1. Drawing exercises on the board with a dedication of a practice session. 2. Special exercises as a control of the student´s learning process. Architectural models of prestigious architects are selected for the development of these graphic exercises, whose formalization processes are clear and definable, in order that the students achieve an architectural culture. All exercises are mandatory. |
| Supervised projects | This type of work promotes independent learning of the student under the supervision of the tutor. It consists of supervised graphic exercises to be developed by the student individually, in correspondence with the theoretical concepts of the lectures. The tutoring will be held in office hours and / or class. Exercises with no sufficient supervision will not be assessed. These works are compulsory and essential to pass the course and / or to attend the first or second opportunity |
| Practical test: | A final test will be done to all those students who in spite of attending the course did not pass the subject. It may consist of theoretical and practical contents. |
| Collaborative learning | Individual or group work that students must develop in CAD. Face-to-face hours will be devoted to the formulation of work, a series of lectures and the review of the works, individually or in group. This methodology referred primarily to learning the "how to do things" to promote independent learning of students, under the tutelage of a professor. |

FIRST OPPORTUNITY (JANUARY) Applying to students either scoring below 5 or with average special exercises below 5 and observing the following conditions: - 80% attendance and submission of all weekly exercises - Submission of the supervised projects SECOND CHANCE (JULY) The same conditions as the first opportunity. The score of the objective test to pass the subject will be of 5/10. That score will stand for 30% of the final grade. |
