Assessment, as a system for collecting information aimed at issuing valuejudgments (and, where appropriate, merit) about the learning process, requirescontinuous development with constant student involvement. With this premise,the attendance and participation of the student are understood as fundamental,so that an unjustified and repetitive absence can have an unfavorable impact onthe grade obtained for the course, in a similar proportion as a lack ofparticipation or a negative attitude. The correction criteria include not onlythe accuracy of the results, but also the clarity of the presentation, thestructuring of the analysis carried out, the use of units, the correctapplication of the normative criteria, and the terminology used, as well as theresolution, detail and graphic quality of the representation of the structure,in general, and of the different elements that compose it, in particular.

The continuous evaluation system is established in the following terms:

EVALUATION BY COURSE

It consists of:

A mixed test (theoretical-practical exam) corresponding to thecontents of the first part of the subject (A. Design of steel structures). This test will be carried out during the development of the term on a date to be determine for the pourpose.
A mixed test (theoretical-practical exam) that corresponds to thecontents of the second part of the subject (B. Dimensioning of steelstructures). This test will be carried out during the development of the term on a date to be determine for the pourpose.
Workshop practice.

In order to pass the subject by continuos assessment, the following requirements must be met:

A minimum attendance of 80% in both the lectures and interactive classes and workshops.
Obtain a minimum grade of 3 out of 10 in each of the two mixed tests.
Obtain a minimum grade in the workshop of 3 out of 10 and have made the partial deliveries established for this purpose.
Obtain a final grade for the course of 5 out of 10. In the final grade, the first mixed test represents 30%, the second mixed test 40% and the workshop mark 30%.

The same conditions described above will apply to students who have passed Architectural design 5 in order to pass Structures 3 by continuous assessment.

Students who accredit partial enrollment will be subject to the same conditions as those described for the rest of the students, with the sole exception that they will not be required to attend minimum lectures (expository teaching).

Students who have not passed the subject by continuous assessment may take the exam on the first and second opportunities.

EVALUATION IN FIRST AND SECOND OPPORTUNITY AND ADVANCE OPPORTUNITY

The tests corresponding to the first and second opportunity, as well as to the advanced opportunity, will consist of a first theoretical part that will compute 30% in the final grade, a second part of resolution of practical exercises, which will compute 40%, and a third practical part of solving a structure, which will compute the remaining 30%. On the date established for this purpose, students who have followed the course may dispense with the third part of the exam (resolution of a structure) provided that they have achieved the minimum grade of 3 out of 10 in the workshop, adopting in such a case the qualification obtained in the workshop instead of taking the third part of the exam.

To pass the subject in the second opportunity, identical minimum
qualification requirements of each of the parts of the test indicated
for the continuous assessment will be applied.

Pursuant to article 14 of the RULES OF EVALUATION, REVIEW AND
CLAIM OF THE QUALIFICATIONS OF TWO UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES AND MASTER'S
DEGREE of the UDC, if fraud commission is detected in the evaluation
tests the student will obtain in both opportunities of the subject a
qualification equal to 0.

Methodologies	Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech	A relevant fraction of the face-to-face activity uses the lecture method, whose responsibility falls fundamentally on the teaching staff, either orally or with the complement of audio-visual media. However, and regardless of the above, during these sessions the aim is to achieve a certain level of participation by students, enhancing their involvement, encouraging feedback from the process (and therefore the two-way nature of communication), and stimulating the mechanisms of learning through interaction techniques.
Problem solving	There will be practical tests, designed from the contents previously worked on. The progressive nature of such tests obeys criteria of continuous training, so that the conclusions of each phase can serve to redirect the teaching and learning processes conveniently, adapting them to the particularities of the group in order to achieve the intended competencies.
Workshop	The subject participates in the Sixth Semester Workshop, which also integrates Architectural design 5, Construction 4 and Urbanism 3. The workshop is understood as a work space and exchange designed to facilitate the confluence of the contents of the different subjects around the architectural project, and by both are based on multidisciplinary integration on case study resolution.
Diagramming	In the resolution of problems and mixed tests it is intended to use as a support a synoptic document that the student will make throughout the course. Attempts are thus made to reinforce meaningful learning through the structured synthesis of the main contents of the subject. The elaboration is understood progressive, ordering of continuous form concepts and expressions, schematizing processes of analyses, and affecting the deduction of possible relations between the successive subjects of the program.
Mixed objective/subjective test	Written tests are presented as a diagnostic and formative assessment tool. The design adjusts in each statement to the profile of knowledge and abilities that is intended to be valued, focusing on the understanding of the theoretical contents and the skills associated with the analysis and resolution of practical cases.

Methodologies	Competencies	Description	Qualification

Mixed objective/subjective test	A12 A17 A18 B2 B9 B11 C1 C6	These tests will include the resolution of theoretical-practical exercises and the development of certain aspects related to the design of building structures.	70
