Methodologies
Methodologies Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech Theoretical-practical explanation of the basic concepts that affect the coherence of the materials and systems used, of their adequacy and that affect the design, execution and maintenance of the constructions.
Workbook Readings. The students will read the books, articles and documentation indicated by the professors. To be able to have a record of the readings, students will have to present the requested exercise due in time and form.
Workshop The Workshop is a space for the student to work and exchange conceived to facilitate the confluence of the different areas related to Architecture, guaranteeing the optimization of teaching resources and rationalizing the student's work. The Workshop aims to establish mechanisms of coordination and transversality throughout the studies, avoiding duplication and reiteration in the requirements. The realization of exercises, as the basis of teaching, in which the student finds an immediate identification between the conception of the design and its materialization, applying the knowledge of the lectures and readings.
Partial deliveries are mandatory. Individualized teaching in practical classes. The control of the exercises is done personally with corrections and by means of the presentation of students' work in front the class, to be able to generate also a debate around them. This course -C7- has 3 credits in the total of the Workshop for the 10th quarter.
Supervised projects The supervised works seek to verify the application of the knowledge acquired in the course and the acquired skills.

Assessment comments

The Continuous Assessment method will be used, which assumes that class attendance will be controlled,and that part of the grade is indicated on the attitude and work of the student during the semester; but it must be completed also with theoretical-practical, conferences,  tests to verify that the student assimilated the conceptual and procedural contents of the course. Carrying out and individual presentation of the proposed exercises. Carrying out teamwork and its presentation and individual
and / or team defense. The written tests throughout the course, which will consist of questions related to both the theoretical part and the exercises carried out during the course. Practices developed in class and those carried out under continuous tutoring. Any other activity that is defined in the Teaching Guide of the course, the student's work will be graded in different percentage: theoretical knowledge will be counted like 20% + supervised work10%  of the final grade, while practical exercises will suppose the remaining 70%. In any case, the grade of the practical part of the course must be graded at least with a minimum of 5 out of 10 in order to be able to grade the course with a pass. The final grade of the student´s work will be taking in account the delivers of the practical part of the course and a single final test, in which the theoretical and practical knowledge will be measured by the professor.

The evaluation criteria of the first and second opportunity are identical, they will have the same coefficients and the same minimum grade requirement as those indicated for the First Chance. The definition of the minimum requirements, schedule of deliveries, as well as the rest of the details, will be defined with more detail with the course schedule that is delivered at the beginning of the semester. The intermediate pass grades will be kept for the second opportunity, in which the students should complete those parts that were not graded with a pass, part of the course. Teaching to students that are part of mobility programs is adapted to the pedagogical conditions and special supervised exercises, as well as the different tests and exams.

FIRST CHANCE: To be able to pass the practical part of the course.

-Classroom Practice and Shared Workshop Practice- students must make all the scheduled deliveries on time throughout the course. The total non-presentation of the exercises will suppose the qualification of NO-ATTEND. It is mandatory to attend the in-person
test. It is necessary to obtain at least a grade of 5 out of 10. A minimum attendance of 80% will be required to be able to attend the Classroom Practice part and the Shared Workshop Practice part of the course.

SECOND CHANCE: If the student does not pass the course at the first opportunity, he/she will present the same work required at the first opportunity on a scheduled date, making the corrections indicated by the professor and attending also the in-person test. All the parts will be assessed with the same coefficient for the final grade as has been defined for the first opportunity test.

Other comments

The student is supposed to possess the knowledge of the previous Construction subjects, in order to address the passing of this subject. According to the documentation of the ETSAC Architect's Degree: "Students will have to simultaneously take all the subjects of the Workshop, so if it is the first time they enroll in subjects of a workshop they will have to do it in all the subjects of the same. Students will have to take prior to or simultaneously with a workshop all the subjects linked to previous workshops that they have not completely passed.
