| Methodologies |
| Methodologies | 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. |

| Workshop | A1 A2 A3 A4 A9 A10 A13 A34 A42 A44 A45 A46 A47 B2 B5 C3 | As AA1 is a very practical subject, oral presentations done by the students are the best way to assess both knowledge and skills that are the objective of the subject | 65 |
| Assessment comments | |||
|
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. |

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 |
