| Methodologies |
| Methodologies | Description |
| Supervised projects | In this methodology, one or more assignments will be proposed to the students that must be developed in the non-contact time (45 hours) allocated to it. This methodology refers primarily to learning "how to do things" and is focused on promoting the autonomous learning of students, under the tutelage of the professor The face-to-face time corresponding to this methodology (14 hours) will be dedicated to the explanation of the assignments, focusing on those theoretical aspects that are considered relevant, and a series of sessions for the collective and / or personalized monitoring of all the work proposed. |
| Workshop | This workshop includes both the work carried out in the practical face-to-face sessions (30 hours) as well as all the work proposed by the teaching staff and that the student must develop in the scheduled time (45 hours) for this methodology, always with the support and supervision of the professor. As in the case of supervised projects, this methodology refers primarily to learning "how to do things" and is focused on promoting the autonomous learning of students, under the tutelage of the professor. The total time foreseen must give rise to a volume of graphic work previously determined by the teaching staff, which the student must carry out. Within the workshop the following specific assignments are established that will have their independent evaluation with a specific weight within the final evaluation: 1) Face-to-face drawings 2) Weekly work or assignments 3) Final control drawings (Final exam) |
| Guest lecture / keynote speech | Oral presentation, using audiovisual aids and other resources, intended to convey knowledge and encourage learning. Theoretical content will be divided according to the module’s main subject areas and taught using a non-linear approach, based on the make-up of the group and the learning objectives proposed by the lecturer. |

Students will be required to attend a minimum 80% of all classes; absences due to illness or other unforeseen circumstances should not exceed the remaining 20%. However 100% of all assigned work in this methodology should be done. By virtue of the adaptation measures stipulated in the Instructions of July 1, 2021 of the General Secretariat of Universities, a continuous evaluation system is used for the final qualification of the SUPERVISED PROJECTS. Supervised projects will account for 15% of the total final mark for the module. |

Students will be required to attend a minimum 80% of all classes; absences due to illness or other unforeseen circumstances should not exceed the remaining 20%. However 100% of all assigned work in this methodology must be done. Total aggregated marks for workshop tasks in each category will account for the following percentages of the total final mark for the module: Class work (ordinary class hours) and weekly assignments (student´s personal work hours) will account for the 35% of the total final mark for the module. The final exam will account for the 50% of the module. Students need to get a 5 in the final exam to get a pass in this subject. By virtue of the adaptation measures stipulated in the Instructions of July 1, 2021 of the General Secretariat of Universities, a continuous evaluation system is used for the final qualification of the WORKSHOP. |

| Assessment comments | |||
|
1- Attendance: Attendance is mandatory. An attendance below 80% will mean that the student is considered absent. The 20% of absences is the percentage that covers the imponderables that we can consider as habitual. Students with recognition of part-time dedication will be exempt from this obligation. However, these students must comply with everything related to the delivery of assignments and tutorials. 2- Deliveries of assignments: Except for duly justified cause in accordance with current regulations, the failure to deliver an assignment on the date established for it, will imply the qualification of absent All the assignments and drawings made in the workshop will be collected on the dates indicated in the calendar of the subject that is proposed on the day of the presentation. All deliveries cannot be postponed and any change must be agreed between the students and the teaching staff. Students with recognition of part-time dedication or specific modalities of learning and support for diversity, must submit their work on time. If the previous issue is not possible, and with prior justification, a new date must be previously agreed with the teaching staff for the delivery or for the performance of the control or examination exercise, if applicable To pass the course, in any of the two official opportunities of the course it is an essential requirement to have done all the proposed assignments with the minimum level of documentation and minimum content established level and the adequate supervision of the professor. Otherwise the student will be considered absent The monitoring of the proposed assignments will only be considered effective if the professor has had proof of the performance of the students in the exercises carried out during the face-to-face time of the subject and if the performance is consistent with the work done during the non-face time 3- Second chance of July: Students who have not passed the course on the first opportunity are obliged to present, in order to be evaluated on the second opportunity, all the works and / or drawings that they have not delivered on the first opportunity In addition, the professors may demand the completion of new proposed assignments at the beginning of the second semester. The purpose of these works is that students can develop them, and can be effectively tutored, throughout the 2nd semester. These exercises will be delivered on the day of the second chance exam Students who appear only on the second opportunity in July will be especially obliged to carry out all the work requested during the course an especially, to comply with the supervision of the proposed works 4- Tutorials: Given the importance of personalized attention for this subject, this will always be done by requesting an appointment by email, with the aim of optimizing your organization. This academic activity will be developed by the teaching staff, individually or in a small group, and may be face-to-face or virtual (by Teams) at the choice of each professor. This will also apply to students with recognition of part-time dedication. 5- Students of mobility programs: Teaching to students of mobility programs will be adapted by adjusting the conditions of the work proposed for the rest of the students. The evaluation tests and exams will also be adapted for these students if necessary in the professor's opinion. 6- Academic dispensation of exemption from attendance: The academic dispensation of exemption from attendance is not contemplated as this is a subject in which the workshop is the fundamental methodology. However, the teaching staff may, if they deem it appropriate, exempt students who are recognised as part-time students from attendance, although, in any case, they must comply with all the requirements relating to the handing in of assignments and tutorials. 7- Plagiariesm: The detection of plagiarism, as well as the fraudulent performance of tests or evaluation activities, once verified, will directly imply the grade of "0" in the subject in the corresponding exam session, thus invalidating any grade obtained in all the evaluation activities for the extraordinary exam session. |
