General description En este curso de construcción, se adquiere la capacidad para diseñar sistemas de partición interior, comunicación vertical y sistemas de acabados, tanto interiores como exteriores.
Las capacidades adquiridas referidas a tales sistemas constructivos, así como al resto de contenidos, incluyen: encuadre histórico, tipologías, materiales, normativa, seguridad, valoración, conservación, lesiones y reparación.
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.
- Lecturas.

* 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.
- Lecturas: 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 building systems (interior partition systems, vertical circulation systems and interior/exterior finishes). 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.
Within the Moodle platform, students will have access to the subject's lessons, as well as various complementary and supporting documentation.
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 (workshop + interactive classes).
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.)
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.
Workbook Specific readings support the lectures. These readings introduce the constructive topic, helping the students to understand technical texts. It will be assessed within the objective test.

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 June 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 6) (June 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.

Assessment comments

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 workshop and case study. This will
confirm if the student assimilated the concepts, the competences, and methods
of work of the subject.

Students will pass the subject when they get the minimum attendance and the next scores: workshop, at least a 5 score (out of 10); multiple-choice questions, at least 5 (out of 10) in each; objective test, at least 4 score (out of 10). If they do so, the final mark will be an average between the workshop score and the average between objective test + multiple-choice question tests average.

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

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

Students with partial validations or exchange programs will have a set treatment for each case.

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.
