Methodologies

Methodologies	Description
Introductory activities	Activities carried on before starting the learning-teaching process to get to know the abilities, interests and motivations the students should have to obtain the objectives. With this activities relevant information must be obtained to articulate the teaching and significant learningship the students previously should have.
Guest lecture / keynote speech	Oral exposition complemented by audio-visual means and some other resources, to transmit knowledge and facilitate learningship. Subject theoretical contents (combined in three major general themes) will be exposed in a non-lineal way, as the teacher should estimate to obtain the preview results and concerning the group heterogeneity.
Workshop	SUBJECT WORKSHOP. In this workshop practical lessons (26 hours) –non included in the first term workshop– and all the previously proposed work the student must develop in the stipulated time (54 hours) for this supervised methodology must be taken into account. The total stipulated time should guaranteed a graphic volume previously determined by the professor.
Workshop	FIRST TERM WORKSHOP. Shared among the different subjects of Architectural Drawing, Descriptive Geometry and Projects I. One or several in group essays will be proposed to be developed by the students outside the classroom. Lessons concerning this methodology in the classroom will be dedicated to the planning of the essays, to a series of theoretical lessons and to the supervised control of the proposed work. This methodology is meant to the learningship of “how things must be done” focused on specific supervised essays to promote the students autonomous learningship.
Objective test	A practical examination used to the evaluation of the learningship whose distinctive aspect is the possibility to determine whether the acquired learningship is the expected to pass the examination. It is a measure instrument, rigorously elaborated which allows to evaluate the capacities, abilities and attitudes. It will consist of 2-4 drawings (6 hours), as the examination official timetable will establish.

Workshop

Description

This academic activity will be developed by the professor, either individual or in small group and its finality is to have into consideration the student´s needs and doubts in relation with the current essays, helping and motivating them during the learning process.
For this subject and the already exposed methodologies it is fundamental to consult the professor about the weekly improvement to assure the quality of the essays according to the criteria which will be indicated in each case.
Considering the importance the personalized care this subject has, this tutorial is compulsory for the students. Non assistance to the arranged tutorials (1h), the students will be given a “non evaluated”.

Assessment

Methodologies	Competencies	Description	Qualification
Guest lecture / keynote speech	A10 A13 A37 A38 B3 B4 B5 B6 B7 B8 B9 B10 B11 B13 B14 B17 B18	A minimun of 80% of assistence to lessons is compulsory for all students.	1

In this workshop, two different kind of essays will be developed: 1) Drawings made in the classroom. This essays will be proposed by the professors and will be used to control both the evaluation of the students and reference of the essays made outside the classroom by the students. 2) Drawings made by the students outside the classrooms will consist of free drawings though teachers will be able to propose a specific essay weekly. This essay will be the fundamental object of the tutorial. Both kind of essays will be evaluated continuously.	30
Workshop	A10 A13 A37 A38 B1 B3 B5 B6 B7 B9 B14 B18 C3 C6 C7 C8	FIRST TERM WORKSHOP: 20% of the qualification. Tutored essays which evaluation will be made together with the three subjects that share the workshop. The final qualification will be the three subjects average qualification. This workshop is compulsory for all the students, even for those who had passed some of the three subjects previously.	19
Objective test	A10 A13 A37 A38	OBJECTIVE ASSESSMENT: 50% of the qualification. This methodology is meant to determine whether the student improvement has been sufficient and in concordance with what has been done in the workshops. It will be divided into two parts, three hours each, where the essays proposed by the professors will be developed. Students must obtain five points over ten in this methodology in order to pass this subject.	50

Assessment comments
To pass this subject, in any of the two evaluations within the course (the one belonging to the term or in the second opportunity in July) is an essential requirement to have done all the proposed essays in the different methodologies with the minimum established level and the correct professor tutorial. Otherwise the student will be consider non evaluated. Students who only attend the second opportunity in July will be specially obligated to fulfill what has been exposed above. A minimum of 80% of assistance is compulsory to pass the subject, otherwise students will be non evaluated. Considering the importance the personalized care this subject has, this tutorial is compulsory for the students. Non assistance to the arranged tutorials (1h), the students will be given a “non evaluated”.
