Methodologies
Methodologies Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech Introduction of fundamental theoretical concepts, graphical methodologies and presentation of case studies.
Supervised projects The students will apply the concepts and methodologies to the proposed cases of study, supervised by the teaching staff.
This includes the oral presentation of the work developed, the response to tests of control of the training process and the production of a document with the resulting materials.
Workshop Space of confluence between the subjects Architectural Analysis 1 and Projects 2.
Objective test Os coñecementos e habilidades adquiridos ao longo do curso serán avaliados nun ou varios exames obxectivos ao longo do curso.

Objective test
Description
The evaluation is a continuous process in which the activity developed by the students is monitored and registered.
Periodically objective tests may be carried out to determine the level of knowledge acquisition on the analysis methodologies and the graphic skills of the student body. Periodically and - in any case, whenever the students require it - they will be personally informed of the level reached by their activities in relation to the programmatic objectives of the subject.
At all times during the course, the faculty will provide the student with additional support to the teacher individually, at a known time.

This is articulated in a Tutored Work, original and unpublished, which must be carried out throughout the teaching period in accordance with a scientific methodology, matching the theoretical knowledge taught by the teaching staff.
A final document will be produced where all its contents will be expressed with communicative procedures typical of architecture professionals.

Assessment comments
1. Attendance 
Students must attend the lectures and present the graphic works, models, etc. proposed in the workshops, with the required level of quality to pass the subject.

Attendance is compulsory at least 80% to the theoretical and practical classes, as well as to the shared workshops. Without this requirement, no student may pass the course by course.

Delivering less than the 100% of the practices on its term, means that the course was not properly followed and adresses to a qualification of "Not Presented" in the first opportunity.

In order to make possible to attend the second opportunity, students must handle the 100% of the practices, properly tutored. It is also possible to be requiered to develop an special work.
2. Late registration.

Students enrolled after the start of the academic year, must attend the theoretical and practical classes from the date of enrolment, with the possibility of recovery of the practices carried out until that date.

3. Opportunities.
To pass the subject students will have two opportunities: June and July. Anyone who does not pass the first opportunity may present himself to the second. In both cases it is practical graphic evidence.

4. Mobility.

The teaching of students from mobility programs will be based on specific pedagogical, linguistic and scheduling conditions and the performance of special tutored jobs.
