Description |
Introductory activities |
With these activities, it is aimed guiding the students in the content, methodologies, learning outcomes of this subject (and AAF) and how he will be evaluated.
|
Supervised projects |
This methodology is based on competences and contents of Architectural Technical Drawing; students will be required to complete several assignments during both class time practice sessions and non-class time hours allocated for these activities.
One of the Supervised Projects will consist of an exam.
This section of the course focuses on learning ‘how things are done’ and the promotion of supervised independent learning (under the supervision of the teacher).
Class contact hours will be used for the proposal and discussion of project topics and related theoretical considerations. Class time will also include a series of group and/or individual project monitoring sessions, and time for carrying out particular taks on the project in process. The test assignment (exam) will be done during part of the class hours.
|
Workshop |
The workshop section of the module includes both class time practice sessions and non-class time spent on workshop tasks assigned and supervised by the lecturer.
This methodology is based on competences and contents of Freehand Drawing.
Workshop tasks are focused on learning ‘how things are done’ and encouraging supervised independent learning.
Students will be required to produce a set amount of graphical work (defined in advance by the lecturer) during the hours allocated for workshop activities.
Workshop activities will be based on the following categories and assessed individually, with each task accounting for a specific portion of the overall mark:
1) Class work (ordinary class hours)
2) Weekly practical tasks (student´s personal work hours)
3) Final test drawings (final exam)
|
Guest lecture / keynote speech |
Oral presentations, using audiovisual aids and other resources, intended to convey knowledge and encourage learning.
Theoretical contents will be divided according to the module’s two main subject areas and taught using a non-linear approach, based on the make-up of the group and the learning objectives proposed by the lecturers. |

Description |
Individualised attention refers to one-to-one meetings between lecturers and students, or small group tutoring sessions, designed to offer guidance, support and motivation to students throughout the learning process, and an opportunity to discuss any questions or difficulties they may have in relation to specific module tasks and activities.
For this section of the module, as in the other sections, students will be required to keep the lecturer informed as to the progress of their assignments, to ensure projects meet the necessary standards in each case.
Given the emphasis on personalised teaching and learning in this module, students will be strictly required to avail of all opportunities for engagement offered by the syllabus. Students who fail to attend the weekly tutorial meetings (at the minimum 1 hour) defined in the timetable will be recorded as ‘Absent’ and have their assessment deferred to a subsequent examination period.

Class attendance is compulsory for this section of the subject.
Students will be required to attend a minimum 80% of all classes; absences due to illness or other unforeseen circumstances should not exceed the remaining 20%.
Students who fail to attend this 80% to all classes will be recorded as “Absent”.

Class attendance is compulsory for this section of the subject.
Students will be required to attend a minimum 80% of all classes; absences due to illness or other unforeseen circumstances should not exceed the remaining 20%.
Aggregated marks for all supervised projects will be averaged to give the student’s overall mark for this section of the module. However 100% of all assigned work in this methodology should be done.
Supervised projects will account for 50% of the total final mark for the module.
All practical work (tests) will be evaluated by the whole staff of lecturers of the subject to guarantee the homogeneity of the level in all the subgroups.
A mark under 5 in this methodology will result in a failing grade in this subject.

Class attendance is compulsory for this section of the subject.
Students will be required to attend a minimum 80% of all classes; absences due to illness or other unforeseen circumstances should not exceed the remaining 20%; However, 100% of all assigned work in this methodology should be done.
Total aggregated marks for workshop tasks in each category will account for the following percentages of the total final mark for the module:
1) Class work (ordinary class hours)
2) Weekly practical tasks (student´s personal work hours)
Class work and Weekly practical tasks will account for a 40% of the total final mark for the module.
3) Final assessment control drawings (final exam):
Final assessment control drawings (final exam) will account for a 60% of the total final mark for the module.
All practical work (final exam) will be evaluated by the whole staff of lecturers of the subject to guarantee the homogeneity of the level in all the subgroups.
A mark under 5 in this methodology will result in a failing grade in this subject.
The content of the final exam will be agreed jointly between all teachers on the interactive portion of the module.

Assessment comments |
Delivery requirements that shall be met: - Workshop: Class work assignments will be
handed in weekly at the end of the class session; non-class assignments will be
handed the week following the proposal. Deliveries cannot be postponed. Late
delivery is not allowed. - Supervised Projects: Assignments will be
collected on the day set. Deliveries cannot be postponed. Late delivery is not
allowed. Students who fail to meet this requirement will be recorded as “Absent”.
In order to pass the module, either during
the first-opportunity term exams in June, or during the second-opportunity
examination period in July, students will be required to have done 100% of all
assigned work in each methodology, and achieve the minimum specified mark for
each of the compulsory assignments, under the appropriate direction and
supervision of the lecturer. Students who fail to meet this requirement will be
recorded as ‘Absent (NP)’ and have their assessment deferred to a subsequent
examination period.
Project supervision will only be deemed to have taken place where the
supervising lecturer can confirm that student work on projects during class
time is consistent with work completed outside of class hours.
Consequently the following shall be met:
1) Students recorded as “Absent” in the
first opportunity, will be required to deliver all the assigned work of the
different methodologies (not delivered in the first opportunity) to be
evaluated in the second opportunity.
2) Students who only sit for the second
opportunity (in July), will be strictly required to do all the assigned work
during the course with particular emphasis to the lecturer supervision of all
these tasks.
3) Students who need to sit for the second
opportunity and hadn´t got the minimum mark for the supervised projects, should
develop a new ´development assignment´ posed by the lecturers at the beginning
of the second semester, to give students enough time to do it and to have it
supervised by their teachers. The deadline to deliver this task will be 15 days
before the date of the exam of the second opportunity. The mark of this new
task will be considered instead of the previous one obtained during the first
semester for this methodology.
4) Students who need to sit for the second
opportunity and hadn´t got the minimum mark for the workshop, should develop a
new ´sketchpad´ posed by the lecturers at the beginning of the second semester,
to give students enough time to do it and to have it supervised by their
teachers. The deadline to deliver this task will be the date of the exam of the
second opportunity.
Class
attendance is compulsory for both methodologies workshop and supervised projects
(theoretical and practical sessions). Students who fail to attend to the 80% to
all classes will be recorded as “Absent”. Given the emphasis on personalized
teaching and learning in this module, students will be strictly required to
avail of the opportunities for engagement offered by the syllabus. Students who
fail to attend the weekly tutorial meetings (at the minimum 1 hour), will be
recorded as “Absent”. Teaching,
testing and assessment in respect of mobility programme students will be
adapted to meet any special circumstances or supervision needs these students
may have.
