General description En esta asignatura del Grado en Estudios en Arquitectura, se alcanza la capacidad para concebir, calcular, diseñar, integrar y ejecutar en edificios y conjuntos urbanos los sistemas de cerramiento, cubierta y demás obra gruesa.
Estas capacidades se adquieren mediante el estudio de los requerimientos y prestaciones normativos que afectan a estos sistemas.
Los conocimiento adquiridos de los sistemas constructivos y resto de contenidos incluye: encuadre histórico, tipologías, materiales, producción, industrialización, normativa, concepción, diseño, seguridad, valoración, prescripción, conservación, lesiones, reparación y rehabilitación.
Contingency plan
Se diseñan dos planes de contingencia, en base a dos escenarios.



ESCENARIO 1

Se plantea un primer escenario en el que, debido a la capacidad de las aulas u otro tipo de razones, no sea factible la docencia presencial de las clases expositivas (sesiones magistrales), en tanto la docencia interactiva y de taller, al ser grupos de menor número de alumnos, pueda seguir impartiéndose de forma presencial.

En esta situación, las sesiones magistrales serán impartidas en formato on-line, mediante el uso de la plataforma Microsoft Teams, incluida en Office365.

La prueba objetiva se realizará de manera presencial, tal y como está prevista en la guía docente, siempre y cuando la capacidad de las aulas lo permita, garantizándose, en todo caso, las medidas de seguridad necesarias. Si no fuese posible, se efectuará de manera telemática, mediante el uso de las plataformas Moodle o Microsoft Teams. Si se diese este último caso, aquellos alumnos que, por causas justificadas, relativas al equipamiento informático o de conexión, debidamente acreditadas, no pudiesen realizar los exámenes correspondientes a las pruebas objetivas en línea, tendrán derecho a la realización de dichas pruebas de forma oral u otro mecanismo alternativo, siendo requisito imprescindible solicitarlo mediante correo electrónico el mismo día del examen, tras lo que serán oportunamente convocados para su realización.

No hay cambios en los contenidos de la materia, ni en los mecanismos de atención personalizada al alumno, ni en los criterios de evaluación.



ESCENARIO 2

Se plantea un segundo escenario en el que, ante un posible confinamiento, no sea factible ningún tipo de docencia presencial. En tal caso, los cambios previstos son los siguientes:


1. Modificaciones en los contenidos
No se realizarán cambios.


2. Metodologías

* Metodologías docentes que se mantienen:
Todas:
- Sesión magistral.
- Taller.
- Prueba objetiva.
- Prueba de respuesta múltiple.
- Trabajos tutelados.

* Metodologías docentes que se modifican:
Cuando no sea posible ningún tipo de docencia presencial, se adoptarán estrategias alternativas que faciliten y garanticen el aprendizaje y el adecuado desarrollo del curso. Para tal fin, se plantean las siguientes modificaciones respecto a la guía docente:
- Sesión magistral: las clases expositivas se impartirán de manera telemática, mediante el uso de la plataforma Microsoft Teams. Dentro de la plataforma Moodle, tal y como sucede en el caso de la docencia presencial, el alumnado tendrá acceso a las lecciones de la materia, así como a diversa documentación complementaria y de apoyo.
- Taller: se adaptará a la forma telemática, mediante el uso de la plataforma Microsoft Teams. Del mismo modo que sucede en la docencia presencial, se habilitarán tareas en la plataforma Moodle para las entregas parciales y finales de las prácticas de curso.
- Prueba objetiva: se efectuará de manera telemática, mediante el uso de las plataformas Moodle o Microsoft Teams. Aquellos alumnos que, por causas justificadas, relativas al equipamiento informático o de conexión, debidamente acreditadas, no pudiesen realizar los exámenes correspondientes a las pruebas objetivas en línea, tendrán derecho a la realización de dichas pruebas de forma oral u otro mecanismo alternativo, siendo requisito imprescindible solicitarlo mediante correo electrónico el mismo día del examen, tras lo que serán oportunamente convocados para su realización.
- Prueba de respuesta múltiple: Sin modificaciones.
- Trabajos tutelado: Sin modificaciones.


3. Mecanismos de atención personalizada al alumnado
- Correo electrónico: de uso diario para realizar consultas y solicitar encuentros virtuales para resolver dudas.
- Moodle: según las necesidades del alumnado, se podrán habilitar recursos como foros, etc. para formular las consultas necesarias.
- Microsoft Teams: 1 sesión semanal en la franja horaria asignada a la materia en el calendario de clases de la Escuela. También podrá servir como canal de comunicación para la atención individual o grupal en el horario de tutorías de cada docente.


4. Modificaciones en la evaluación
Sin modificaciones.

* Observaciones de evaluación:
Se mantienen los criterios que figuran en la guía docente, a excepción de las referencias al cómputo de la asistencia, que sólo se realizará en relación a las sesiones presenciales que hayan tenido lugar hasta el momento en que la actividad presencial se suspende. De cualquier modo, para la superación y calificación de la materia se tendrá en cuenta un óptimo porcentaje de participación regular en las actividades telemáticas.


5. Modificaciones de la bibliografía o webgrafía
No se realizarán cambios.

Methodologies
Methodologies Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech Lectures aim to provide to the student the knowledge of several ENVELOPES SYSTEMS IN ARCHITECTURE. The standards requirements in order to choose the appropriate system (performance) will be explained, and each system will be analysed in order to know how to prescribe every solution, its repair and maintenance, as well as estimate its cost, always in accordance with the architectural project.
Reference documentation and several examples of buildings will be provided to learn from the mistakes and the decisions took. An intelligent knowledge is sought instead of rote learning.
The student must pass an objective test and several multiple-choice questions.
Workshop The workshop is a workspace where students develop their architectural projects, applying the skills learnt during lectures. They will learn the relationship between the compositional processes of architecture and its construction. Several subjects merge around the idea of architecture, ensuring optimization of teaching resources and streamlining the student's work. The workshop aims to establish mechanisms for coordination and mainstreaming across studies, avoiding duplication and repetition in the content to facilitate an effective transit between semesters. Different mandatory projects will be developed.
Multiple-choice questions Students must complete four mandatory testing about different topics in order to promote learning and continuous assessment. These tests are carried out within the learning platform UDC Moodle.
Objective test The objective tests seek to verify the application of knowledge and the skills acquired by students. Students may use documentary support (books, own notes based on a practical case, etc.). It will be assessed as a whole, not each question.
Supervised projects Methodology designed to promote the autonomous learning, under the supervision of the teacher and in varied scenarios (academic and professional). It is referred primarily to learning how to do things. It is an option based on the assumption by students of the responsibility of their own learning.
Supervised work (mandatory): students, in group (up to 3 students) or individually, will present a work where they will develop a topic assigned by the professors. Students will search bibliography, contents, comments, studies and examples. The work will be showed and upload to the learning platform UDC Moodle, in PDF format.
Model (voluntary): students, in group (up to 3 students) or individually, will build a model (scale 1:1 or 1:2) based on a construction detail of the building developed in the workshop project.

Partial deliveries can be required. In that case, they are mandatory in order to the final work be graded.
The assessment for compulsory projects is not restricted to content; the authorship must be proved.
There will be no compensation between this evaluation and other qualifications of the subject.
Students must get at least a 5 score (out of 10).
Absence of waterproof barriers or insulating elements; acoustic bridges; wrong description of glazing and carpentry; thermal bridges or condensations will be considered serious errors that can lead to fail the subject.
In order to pass, first year students must deliver every part of the workshop. If not, they will obtain a "NO PRESENTADO" (absent from assessment).
According to the documentation from ETSAC degree in Architectural Studies memory, a Board of Assessment will be convened to analyze the results and resolve, if appropriate, specific cases of student assessment.
Students who fail the workshop in January will have a second chance in July. If they obtain a "NO PRESENTADO" (absent from assessment), they cannot attend the second opportunity (July).
Students who fail the specific part of the subject (Construction 5) (January and July) must develop in consecutive opportunities, with the appropriate adjustments, the project failed.
This will happen in all opportunities and calls.
Students with partial validations or exchange programs will have a set treatment for each case. 		50
Multiple-choice questions A25 A26 A27 A31 A32 C1 C3 Students must complete four mandatory testing about different topics. They must get at least a 5 score (out of 10) in each test (including penalizations). Three attempts in each are allowed with cumulative penalty of two points (first attempt: 0 points penalty, second attempt: 2 points, third attempt: 4 points).
When students get at least a 5 score (out of 10), mark will be preserved until July (included) (for each test independently).
These tests are carried out within the learning platform UDC Moodle. 		25

The student can get up to 3 points that will be added to the mark obtained in the objective test.
Model: volunteer work (maximum group of three students); model of one of the projects developed in the Workshop (the program file of the subject, delivered at the beginning of the course, will include information about this work). The student can get up to 3 points that will be added to the mark obtained in the objective test. 		0
 
Assessment comments

The program of the subject, delivered at the beginning of the course, will include information about minimum contents, delivery dates, dates of multiple choice tests, lessons, partial deliveries and everything needed to study the subject.

In order to promote continuous assessment, attendance will be controlled and the final mark will depend on the attitude and the work of the student. Students must pass theoretical and practical tests (Objective test, Multiple-choice questions tests), the supervised projects andthe workshop. This will confirm if the student assimilated the concepts, the competences, and methods of work of the subject.

SIMULTANEOUS CONDITIONS TO PASS THE SUBJECT IN ALL OPPORTUNITIES:

- Complete the required assistance.

- Workshop: at least 5 points (out of 10).

- Objective test: at least a score of 5 (out of 10).

- Multiple choice questions: at least a score of 5 (out of 10), each test.

- Delivery of the supervised work.

OVERALL AVERAGE MARK:

Average between the mark of the objective test plus the supervised work and the model with the average of the multiple choice questions. This mark makes average with the workshop work. If the above conditions are not got, the same formula will be applied but the maximum rating will be restricted to 4,9 out of 10,0.

Students who failed in January will be able to pass the subject in the second opportunity (July) but if they obtain a "NO PRESENTADO" (absent from assessment), they cannot attend the second opportunity.

If students do not get the minimum attendance or do not deliver every part of the subject (Objective test, Multiple-choice questions tests, Supervised projects, Workshop and Case study), then they will obtain a "NO PRESENTADO" (absent from assessment) (in each opportunity).
