Introductory activities A presentation of the subject is made, explaining its interest, operation and objectives. A personalized theoretical questionnaire is carried out that tries to reveal the student's starting knowledge
Diagramming At the beginning of each class, a diagramming of the content to be developed, its need and its fit into the degree is made. In this way, the logic of the topic is evidenced and the contents can be related within the knowledge map of the subject
Case study Students are confronted with a specific real case, with an important structural content, which describes a real situation in professional life.
The student must be able to analyse a series of facts, referring to the intervention on masonry structures to reach a reasoned decision through a process of discussion in class directed by the teacher, propose a performance and confront it with the one carried out in the reality.
Workbook Readings. Acquisition of a general conceptual framework by reading texts, questions regarding the intervention on structures, as well as deepening on the various topics of the program and others that may be specifically interesting, due to the particular conditions of the work to be carried out.

They consist of the development of the various topics on the agenda.

Problem solving The teacher will solve exercises oriented towards future professional practice, encouraging student participation in their partial or total resolution.
The result will be presented in a way that is clearly visible, indicating the numerical value with the corresponding precision and units.
The most common mistakes that are usually made will be explained, evaluating them according to their severity, both conceptual and numerical.
Supervised projects Tutored work
Students - either in groups or individually depending on the specific topic - carry out work that involves the use of the techniques developed in the theoretical classes, identifying in the practical reality the contents of the theoretical exposition. Photographs, diagrams, plans and freehand texts will be used.
They are a fundamental component for the final grade.
Events academic / information Activities carried out by students that involve attendance and participation in scientific and informative events (congresses, conferences, symposia, courses, seminars, conferences, exhibitions, etc.) with the aim of deepening their knowledge of topics related to matter.
