General description A materia Física para a Arquitectura 2 realiza unha introdución a fenómenos físicos relevantes para o deseño arquitectónico e como estes se atopan recollidos nas normativas actuáis de obrigado cumplimento.
Trátase, polo tanto, dun curso de física aplicada á arquitectura no que se abordan contidos de hidrostática -que permitirán ao alumnado determinar empuxes hidrostáticos sobre muros ou lousas-; hidrodinámica -centrándose especialmente no comportamento de fluidos no interior de conductos-; conceptos de termodinámica e higrometría enfocados ao estudo das envolventes dos edificios e ao acondicionamento térmico de espazos arquitectónicos; acústica aplicada ao illamento e ao acondicionamento de locáis; ademáis de contidos sobre electricidade e teoría da luz e a cor. Siempre que resulta posible, os conceptos explicados aplícanse a situación arquitectónicas reais, incidindo na relación íntima entre a física e a arquitectura.

Supervised projects Students will turn in problems on each of the topics of the subject. They must be solved individually and personally, manuscript in paper format A4. They will allow, along with meeting attendance requirements, to have access to additional marks for the course.
Mixed objective/subjective test Individual solving, at class, theoretical or practical exercises proposed by the teacher throughout the course.
Multiple-choice questions A multiple choice test will assess the level of learning of theoretical and practical aspects of the subject.
Objective test Numerical and graphical problems on the contents of the subject and the support bibliography will be presented. It will assess the level of learning of practical aspects of the subject.

Supervised projects
Problem solving
Description
Teachers will support, solve and explain personally any doubts that may arise at class, when students are proposed to completely or partially solve problems.

Personalized attention to the supervised works will be carried out according to the tutoring schedule of the teachers. In this sense, the tutoring schedules will be displayed on the platform provided for this purpose by the UDC.

Continued study of the subject is considered fundamental. Therefore, it is especially advisable to attend tutorials, in order to clarify any doubts that may arise during the development of the course.

Objective test A8 A9 B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 B6 B10 B11 B12 C1 C3 C8 Three problems or case studies based on the syllabus and bibliography will arise, and students will give numerical answer to each of them. They may even have to represent the results graphically.
Each exercise will be answered and will qualify in a separate DIN A3 sheet. Each exercise will be handed in independently, written in indelible ink and folded in A4 size. The student name and group must be written in every paper, including the exam sheet, in order to be assessed.
The result will be given in a clearly visible way, indicating the numeric value with precision and appropiate units. Invalid parts must be clearly cancelled.

Mixed objective/subjective test A8 A9 B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 B6 B10 B11 C8 It will be necessary to pass the individualized control tests raised by the teacher throughout the academic year. These will be held without prior notice. These control tests can be both theoretical and practical. 15
 
Assessment comments
EVALUATION CRITERIA

For a favorable assessment, the student must obtain five point out of ten, according to this dissagregation (equal for both 1st and 2nd opportunities):
- Multiple-choice questions: 2 points.
- Objective practical test: 6 points.
- Course mark: supervised projects 0,5 points; objective/subjective test 1,5 points.

a)First opportunity: at the end of the four-month teaching period, students will have access to assessment as long as they comply with the following condicions:
- Having attended to at least 80% of the lessons of the subject.
- Having scored at least 1 point (out of 2) in the course mark (supervised projects + objective/subjective test.

b)Second opportunity: open to all students who have signed up for the subject, regardless of their percentage of attendance and fulfilment of course mark requirements. The dissagregation will remain as indicated above.

During the development of the theoretical questionnaire no materials of any kind will be allowed beyond pens, while for the realization of the practical part, forms, calculator and drawing materials can be used. The exam is individual. Non-compliance with this requirement will result in expulsion and implementing regulations. Mobile phones, smart watches or any other devices for storage, photography, sharing or accessing information are strictly prohibited during the examination. All these devices must remain switched off and off the table. Taking pictures of the examen, during the examination, will lead to expulsión.

Marks will be announced within the legally established time limits. The day and time for the revision will be indicated on the list of marks. This date will meet the requirements of the Academic Regulation for Assessment, Qualifications and Claims.

CORRECTION CRITERIA
The correction criteria are adapted to those derived from professional reality. As a general rule, misconceptions will be valued according to their severity, and may nullify the exercise. The commission of a numerical error is also relevant, given that the professional practice seeks concrete results. In this regard, it is pointed out that a mistaken sign means an error of 200%.

CONDITIONS FOR PART-TIME MODALITY STUDENTS
Students enrolled in the part-time modality (having proved this upon presentation of the enrollment receipt or the resolution of acceptance of this condition from the study centre)will have access to both opportunities, being exempted from the minimum attendance to lessons and the minimum of the course mark. In these cases, the exam will be the only evaluation element, scoring from 0 to 10 points, being necessary to obtain at least 5 points to pass the subject.
