Methodologies
Methodologies Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech Introduction of fundamental theoretical concepts, graphical methodologies and presentation of case studies.
The contents of the subject will be presented in a non-linear way, in the sequence that the teacher deems appropriate depending on the progress of the course and the heterogeneity of the group to obtain the expected results.
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.
Events academic / information Actividades realizadas por el alumnado que implican la asistencia y/o participación en eventos científicos y/o divulgativos (congresos, jornadas, simposios, cursos, seminarios, conferencias, exposiciones, etc.) con el objetivo de profundizar en el conocimiento de temas de estudio relacionados con la materia.

Preparación de material síntesis del trabajo realizado en la materia para su publicación o exposición pública.
Objective test The knowledge and skills acquired throughout the course will be evaluated in one or several objective exams throughout the course.

This is articulated in one or more Tutored Works, original and unpublished, which must be carried out throughout the teaching period in accordance with a scientific methodology, matching the theoretical knowledge taught by the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 the student will have two opportunities: January and July. Whoever does not pass the first opportunity will be able to apply for the second. In both cases, you must carry out an objective test.

In order to be able to appear for the second opportunity, students must deliver 100% of the course practices duly supervised. In the case of not having approved the supervised works in the 1st opportunity, they may be improved, or if necessary, carry out another additional work, in accordance with the instructions of the teaching staff.

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.

*Students under special dispensation or part-time commitment must contact the professor in charge of their group in the first weeks of the course to resolve the case. The student will have to solve and deliver all the assignments and tutorials as students in a usual situation.
