Description |
Introductory activities |
Prior to starting the process of architectural analysis, the student will be subject to a process of improving drawing and computing, instrumental aspects considered essential |
Workshop |
In the workshops all methodologies (presentations, simulations, debates, problem solving, supervised exercises, etc.) are combined simultaneously on practical tasks, with the assistance of the teacher |
Student portfolio |
O portfolio do alumnado compendiará os resultados acadados por estes no proceso de adquisición das suas competencias. |
Guest lecture / keynote speech |
Nas sesións maxistrais imaprtiranse ao estudantado as tácticas e metodoloxías a utilizar no desenvolvemento da análise arquitectónica. As sesións mostrarán exemplos históricos e casos de estudo. |
Objective test |
A proba obxetiva realizarase en cada momento do desenvolvemento do curso no que se produza unha especial acumulación de coñecementos. Tamén na conclsuión do curso. Consitirá nun suposto practico no que o alumnado demostrará as competencias adquiridas a partir de supostos similares aos practicados durante o desenvolvemento do curso para a análise e a ideación gráfica. |

Description |
Evaluation is a continuous process, in which the activity in each of the sessions of the course develops the student is registered and controlled. He was periodically, and in any case, whenever the student requires it, inform adequacy acquired by its activities in relation to program objectives level of matter.
A period set, the auction of course, free of theoretical sessions and workshops, where the attention is exclusively developed individually, so that each student is oriented towards achieving the ultimate goals of the subject or, where appropriate, excellence.
At all times of the year, teachers give students additional support to teachers, individually, in known schedule. |

Assessment comments |
The student must attend the theory sessions and present the
graphic works, models, etc. put forward in the workshops, with the level of
quality required to pass the course.
Attendance to the theoretical and
practical sessions and workshops is compulsory at least 80%.
Without this
requirement, the student will not pass the course. In order to pass the
subject, the student will have two opportunities: January and July.
The first
one coincides with the date of submission of the last job, and may enable
students to pass the course. Students who do not pass this first opportunity,
may take a second one, which will consist of a practical exam in July.
The
submission of exercises below 80% implies a grade of "Absent" in
the two assessment opportunities. Therefore, the student must repeat the
course from start to finish. It is essential to deliver the specific
practices of the subject, including the 3rd semester workshop with Projects 3
in order to pass each of the subjects that make up the workshop. This will
amount to 20% of the final grade.
Students who do not submit practices
-wholly or partly- required in the workshop will be graded with an
"Absent" in all subjects of the workshop. Students who do not pass
the subject Projects 3 on the two opportunities, must attend the workshop the
following year. In that case, students will do all the course work of the
subjects that they did not pass.
Students who passed the subject Projects 3 but did not pass any of the other
subjects of the workshop, will have to redo their exercises with the
corrections suggested by their teachers.
Students enrolled after the start of
the academic year, must attend the theoretical and practical classes from the
date of enrollment, with the possibility of new dates of submission.
MOBILITY: Teaching students on mobility programs will be adapted to teaching
conditions as well as supervised exercises and tests.

Other comments |
The student needs basic knowledge of computer graphics. It is recommended to have passed the subjects which form the workshop of the second quarter. This matter should not be taken concurrently with workshops superiors. This matter must be attended together with Project 3 of the semester The use of mobile phones, tablets or computers in theoretical classrooms is not allowed. The breach of this rule may lead to the inmediate expulsion of the classroom |
