As in the other subjects that make up the present postgraduate course, an attendance of no less than 80% relative to all the scheduled face-to-face sessions is also required. Second chance evaluation: In order to qualify for the second chance evaluation, the general attendance conditions must be met during the course and the supervised project must have been delivered within the corresponding period. Evaluation in advance call: To be eligible for the evaluation in advance call, the general attendance conditions must be met in a previous course and the supervised project must have been delivered within the corresponding term. Qualification of not presented: If the supervised project is not delivered within the corresponding term, the qualification will be "Not presented". 
Students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic waiver of attendance exemption: In these cases, as long as they have official recognition from the management of the center, the minimum attendance requirement will not be taken into account, keeping the rest of the general requirements established .

Methodologies	Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech	The guest lectures/keynote speechs consist of theoretical oral presentation classes complemented by audiovisual media that facilitate the transmission of knowledge and learning. Likewise, during these sessions it is intended to achieve a certain degree of participation by the students in order to, through their involvement, promote a bidirectional, interactive and dynamic learning process.
Case study	As a complement to the guest lectures/keynote speechs and in order to promote the autonomous learning of the students, practical classes will be held in parallel. In them the students will face the resolution of specific cases in which to put into practice the contents explained in the master classes and that, at the same time, serve as a reference to the topics under study in the assigned supervised works. Likewise, throughout the course they can consider visits outside the classroom or invite a specialist on some subjects.
Events academic / information	Preparation of material synthesis of the work carried out in the subject for its joint exhibition at the end of the course in the event organized by the Department of Architectural Projects, Urbanism and Composition: "Arquitecturas en Curso. DPAUC" (panels, models, drawings, videos, texts , performances, etc.). Attendance at informative events (congresses, symposiums, conferences, etc.), organized by the ETSAC, the DPAUC, etc., indicated by the teaching staff of the subject as part of the teaching content of the course, with the aim of providing students with current knowledge and experience relating to a particular field of study.
Supervised projects	Methodology designed to promote the autonomous learning of students, under the tutelage of the teacher and in varied settings (academic and professional). It is primarily concerned with learning "how to do things". It is an option based on the assumption by students of responsibility for their own learning. This teaching system is based on two basic elements: the independent learning of the students and the monitoring of that learning by the teacher-tutor. To carry out the supervised projects, the students must carry out field investigations regarding the architectures that are the object of their own work. Students will have a certain ability to select these works. Likewise, given the supervised nature of this work, regular follow-up sessions must be held with the teaching staff, in order to optimize or, where appropriate, redirect the activities in progress.

In order to guarantee the authorship of the work, and the adequate acquisition of competences, in its evaluation the successive control sessions are considered relevant through face-to-face tutorials with the assigned teacher and, therefore, the degree of compliance in relation to the indications formulated in each case by the teaching staff. Other aspects to assess are: the quality of the final grammatical, graphic and documentary expression, the capacity for analysis and synthesis, the depth and rigor of the arguments and their development, critical reasoning, the search for written information sources and graphics, the ability to relate the different sections, the correction of the methodological study, the analysis carried out and the conclusions presented at the end of the work.	100
