Description |
Supervised projects |
Methodology designed to promote the autonomous learning of students, under the tutelage of the teacher and in various settings (academic and professional). It is primarily concerned with learning "how to do things." It is an option based on students taking responsibility for their own learning.
This teaching system is based on two basic elements: the autonomous learning of the students and the monitoring of this learning by the teacher-tutor. |
Mixed objective/subjective test |
Test that integrates test-type test questions and objective test-type questions.
For essay questions, collect open-ended essay questions. Also, as objective questions, you can combine multiple choice, ordering, short answer, discrimination, completion, and / or associated questions. |
Events academic / information |
Attendance at cultural events (congresses, lectures, conferences, etc), organized by the ETSAC, 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 knowledge and current experiences on the subject.
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, ...) |
Guest lecture / keynote speech |
Oral presentation supplemented with the use of audiovisual media and the introduction of some questions addressed to students, with the purpose of transmitting knowledge and facilitating learning.
A maxistral class is also known as a "lecture", "expository method" or "maxistral lesson". This last modality only reserves a special type of lesson taught by a teacher on special occasions, with a content that supposes an original elaboration and based on non-use, exclusive case gives word as a means of transmitting information to the audience. |

Assessment comments |
Classes attendance (80%) will be required to develop the workshop and the exam. In order to take part in the second opportunity of each call, it will be essential to have delivered, in the first, the work developed during the course and reviewed by the teachers of the subject. This supervised work can be expanded and corrected to be re-evaluated at the second opportunity. The repeating students who in previous calls had followed or course, delivered and approved the workshop, will have two options that they must choose at the beginning of the course: 1 Take the subject as if they were first-time students. 2 Take a subject without developing the workshop. In case of opting for this second modality, the final qualification will be, only, obtained in the mixed test. Examination in advance: To be examined in advance, general conditions are the same of the previous course. Measures for part time students and exemption of attendance: not contemplated. Plagiarism. Regarding plagiarism, the rules of Art. 14th of the “Normas de avaliación, revisión e reclamación das cualificacións dos estudos de grao e mestrado universitario da UDC”, should be followed. "A detection of plaxium, as well as the fraudulent performance of tests or evaluation activities, once verified, it will directly imply a failing grade (0) in the matter of the corresponding call, thus invalidating the grade obtained in all the evaluation activities for the extraordinary call."
