| Methodologies |
| Methodologies | Description |
| Introductory activities | Getting to the place in which it will work, exposing the projects to be developed in him throughout the semester. |
| Guest lecture / keynote speech | Oral presentation of the theoretical contents of the subject, with the aim of facilitating students to develop the specific work of the workshop. |
| Objective test | The student will develop, as a second opportunity and in the classroom, a design practice that will show in a synthetic way the abilities and competences acquired around issues related to the themes and places undertaken in the course exercises. |
| Directed discussion | Group dynamics technique in which group members discuss free, informal and spontaneous way on an issue, but may be coordinated by the professor. |
| Field trip | Visiting the place where the work of the semester will be developed. The aim is direct and systematic observation of the site, gathering information, data, sketches, analysis, etc. |
| Multiple-choice questions | Objective test on the topics covered in lectures. |
| Workshop | The workshop is the basic formative mode of the subject Design Project 2. It is oriented to the implementation of trainings in which we can combine different methodologies (individual or group practices, work exhibition and work practices, debates and commentaries as well as individual teaching). Thru the workshop the student will develop design proposals with the help and guidance off the teaching stuff. The workshop will be organized in small groups of students. Complementary oral presentations will take place to introduce the theoretical issues related to each phase of the exercise being developed that will allow the student to face the subject and develop the workshop works and practices. |
| Document analysis | Student Portfolio: It will summarize the data that the student has produced from the theoretical sections as well as the personal thoughts related to the architectural project; graphic data, images, drawings, bibliography and notes related to the place of work as well as to the development of each one of the exercises proposed. This methodology will be obligatory for the evaluation of the Project Design Workshop |
| Workbook | Student Portfolio: It will summarize the data that the student has produced from the theoretical sections as well as the personal thoughts related to the architectural project; graphic data, images, drawings, bibliography and notes related to the place of work as well as to the development of each one of the exercises proposed. This methodology will be obligatory for the evaluation of the Project Design Workshop |

| Methodologies | Competencies | Description | Qualification |
| Objective test | A34 A37 C1 C3 | For passing the subject in First Opportunity it will be necessary to comply with three requirements: 1- Class assistance of 80%. 2- All the exercises should have been turned in on time and with a complete proposal, according to the subject´s timetable. 3- First Opportunity exam. It will be an exam that will show in a synthetic manner the abilities and competences acquired by the student in relation to the issues studied while developing the course exercises. The course´s final evaluation will comply with the following percentages: -80% will be related to the work developed during the four month period. -20% will be related to the First Opportunity exam. It will not be admissible to turn in additional work between first and second opportunity exams. If any of the three requirements mentioned above are not fulfilled, the grade will be “No Presentado”. In such case, the Second Opportunity will have the same “No Presentado” grade due to the fact that it does not comply with the condition of continuous evaluation. |

| Workshop | A34 A37 A39 A50 A53 A55 A56 A57 A63 B1 B2 B3 B6 B10 B12 C1 C3 C4 C5 C6 C7 C8 | Project Design 2 will be taught in the workshop during approximately 30 meetings, of which 15 have shared teaching. It will be graded thru continued evaluation for which the student will develop continuous work with partial results that will show a rising progress. Besides the good quality and the rising progression of the courses work, it is an indispensable requirement to have turned in all the exercises on time and in accordance with the courses guidelines as well as having complied with the minimum assistance , in the workshop as well as in the shared teaching, of 80% in each one. The student personal work will be graded taking into account the two exercises developed thru the four-month period in the workshop. It will be graded as Non Presented any student that falls into the following circumstances: -it has not completed the minimum assistance required. -it has turned in work that lacks prepositive content and incomplete. It will be forbidden to complete or modify the courses work beyond the date of completion if it lacks sufficient development. |

Specific conditions related to mobility for incoming and outgoing students. Since Project Design 2 pursues a continued evaluation for all students, including those who are in outgoing or incoming mobility, the same conditions of evaluation will be applied for all students, notwithstanding the fact that specific attention will be given to incoming students because of language or other clear differences between the schools of origin and destiny. |
