Methodologies
Methodologies Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech Aimed at the conceptual introduction and providing the information necessary for the development of workshop exercises.
Supervised projects The students body will apply the concepts and methodologies to the proposed cases of study, supervised by the teaching staff.
This includes for each student oral presentation of the practical work carried out, the response to tests of control of the training process and the production of a final document explaining the analysis made of their respective case study.
Objective test It is a theoretical-practical test in which the student must obtain a grade higher than five (5) out of ten (10) points to pass the subject.

Description
The evaluation is a continuous process in which the activity that the student develops during the sessions of the course is controlled and registered. Periodically and -in any case, whenever the student so requires- he is informed of the adequacy of the level reached by his activities in relation to the programmatic objectives of the subject.
At all times during the course, the faculty will provide the students with complementary support, individually, at a known time.
The final evaluation will be carried out by the faculty on the final work produced by the student, verifying the acquisition of the personal analysis skills, the skills to communicate their ideas and the acquisition of the theoretical contents of the subject.

All this is formalized in a Tutored Work, original and unpublished, which must be carried out throughout the teaching period, matching the theoretical knowledge taught by the teaching staff.
It will result in a final document, made with scientific methodology that will be manifested with the communication strategies of architecture professionals.
The performance of the Tutored Work includes the management of the necessary information for its execution and its exhibition and defense in the work sessions of the course.

Assessment comments
Minimum assistance

Attendance is compulsory. At least, 80% of the sessions that make up the course. Without this requirement, students will not be able to pass the subject by subject.

Late registration


Those enrolled after the start of the academic year must attend the theoretical and practical classes from the date of enrolment, with the possibility of recovering the practices carried out to date.


Evaluation

To pass the
subject, students will have two opportunities: June and July. At the first
opportunity, students will be evaluated upon the outcomes content on their
supervised work.

Failure to
submit the supervised work at the time of the first evaluation opportunity
implies a "Not Submitted" mark.

Those who do not pass this first opportunity
will be able to attend a second one, which will consist of an objective
theoretical-practical test in July, according to the official calendar. In
order to attend this second opportunity, students must submit the supervised
work, duly supervised by the faculty at the time of the test.
