Methodologies
Methodologies Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech Una parte de la actividad presencial se desarrolla a través del método expositivo fomentando, no obstante, involucrar al alumno en la etapa de desarrollo del tema expuesto, proporcionándole la oportunidad para formular preguntas y expresar ideas, conduciéndole de esta manera , por influencia indirecta, al proceso de aprendizaje. Dado el tipo de materia, la exposición se realiza con una amplia utilización de medios audiovisuales.
Supervised projects La realización de trabajos tutelados constituye en esta materia una metodología básica y fundamental para la adecuada formación del alumno. Ello es así pues permite enfrentarse a las situaciones reales que formarán parte de su ejercicio profesional, debiendo conocer el proceso y las implicaciones que tiene la toma de decisiones sobre el proyecto estructural de una obra de arquitectura.
Esta metodología permite no solo la consolidación y aclaración de los conceptos adquiridos en las sesiones magistrales, sino también implementar los conocimientos que se van aportando adquiriendo así una práctica de manejo de los mismos.
Workshop La materia participa en el Taller PFM, donde se integran igualmente Proyecto de Construcción, Proyecto de Instalaciones, Proyectos Avanzados e Instrumentos de Intervención Urbanística . El taller se entiende como un espacio de trabajo e intercambio concebido para facilitar la confluencia de los contenidos de las diferentes asignaturas en torno al proyecto arquitectónico, y por tanto se basa en la integración multidisciplinar sobre la resolución de casos prácticos.

Description
Una metodología orientada hacia el aprendizaje requiere la consideración de las singularidades que distancian a unos alumnos de otros dentro de un mismo grupo, en términos de formación previa, posibles carencias, actitudes y aptitudes, expectativas y motivaciones. Esta cuestión adquiere mayor trascendencia en el desarrollo de los trabajos tutelados y los proyectos propuestos a nivel de taller, cuya metodología sólo adquiere sentido si se produce un contacto regular y periódico con el profesorado a fin de optimizar y en su caso reconducir las actividades en curso.
