The grade for the Classroom Practical Work, the grade for the Workshop Practical Work and the Case Studies will account for 70% of the total final grade, with 60%, 5% and 5% respectively. Failure to submit the aforementioned practical assignments will result in the student being considered as a non-submitted student. A minimum attendance of 80% will be required in order to be able to take the Practical Classroom part and the Practical Workshop part of the course. Failure to submit all or part of the Classroom Practical and Shared Workshop Practical exercises will result in a grade of NOT PRESENTED. 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 the date set, incorporating the corrections and indications indicated by the teacher. It will be assessed with the same weighting coefficient in the final mark as the one given at the first opportunity. The revision of the exams will take place during the timetable set by the teachers of the subject. They will be announced sufficiently in advance on the Department's notice board. Throughout the course the student will be informed periodically of the results of the tests taken. If a grade of at least 4 points is not obtained in any part of the subject, the student will be considered as failing, even if the overall average of the grades is higher or equal to 5 points. |

The summaries must be included in the personalised Portfolio_Notebook_Diary of the subject. Failure to submit these summaries will result in the student being considered as NOT PRESENTED. If a grade of at least 4 points is not obtained in any part of the course, the student will be considered as failing, even if the overall average of the grades is higher or equal to 5 points. |

| Objective test | A12 A15 A17 A18 A20 A21 A25 A26 A27 A31 A32 A63 B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 B6 B7 B9 B10 B11 B12 C1 C3 C4 C5 C6 C7 C8 | To obtain the credits of the 25 asignatura it is essential to present to all the tests of evaluation and will obtain an average note equal or superior to the 5 points out of 10; if in any part of the subject a grade of at least 4 points is not obtained, the student will be considered unfit, even if the overall average of the grades is greater than or equal to 5 points. The regularity, progression and balanced acquisition of practical and theoretical knowledge by the student will be weighed. To obtain the credits of the 25 asignatura it is essential to present to all the tests of evaluation and will obtain an average note equal or superior to the 5 points out of 10; if in any part of the subject a grade of at least 4 points is not obtained, the student will be considered unfit, even if the overall average of the grades is greater than or equal to 5 points. The regularity, progression and balanced acquisition of practical and theoretical knowledge by the student will be weighed. These exams will include a practical question related to aspects already studied in the development of the constructive analysis of the building proposed for study in classroom practice. SECOND CHANCE: If the student does not pass the subject at the first opportunity, he will perform a test of the same characteristics and with the same weighting coefficient in the final grade as the one made in the first opportunity. The revisions of the examinations will be carried out in the schedule that the professors of the asignatura fix. They will be announced well in advance on the Department's bulletin board. Throughout the course the student will be informed periodically of the results of the tests carried out. If in any part of the subject a grade of at least 4 points is not obtained the student will be considered unsuitable, although the average overall ratings are greater than or equal to 5 points. The contents of the subject will be exposed mainly in classes of the type master session; the evaluation of the assimilation by the student of said contents will be carried out by means of an objective test. Prior to the realization of the Obxetiva Test, students will necessarily deliver the summary document in physical and computer version of the personalized Portafolio_CUADERNO_diario of the subject collecting comments, notes, references, computer links, web pages, complementary bibliography, catalogs, books, brochures, guides, etc.... related to each construction topic exposed during each of the teaching sessions. |

The regularity, progression and balanced acquisition of practical and theoretical knowledge by the student will be weighed. A minimum ATTENDANCE of 80% will be required to be able to present themselves to the objective test. It will be controlled by means of signatures in the official list of students in each session, in order to be able to present themselves to the objective test. Failure to attend will result in the qualification of NOT PRESENTED. The evaluation of knowledge shared in this methodology is carried out jointly in the Objective Test. |

| Case study | A12 A15 A17 A18 A20 A21 A25 A26 A27 A31 A32 A63 B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 B6 B7 B9 B10 B11 B12 C1 C3 C4 C5 C6 C7 C8 | Studies of real built architectures will be carried out by means of a programme of site visits where students will learn about, measure, analyse, investigate and even get to know direct explanations from the authors of architectures of recognised quality and intensity of proposal. The students will carry out a constructive architectural study with individual drawings of the generality of each building detailing the most significant material elements and construction systems. The realization and delivery of these analyses is compulsory and of previous and joint evaluation with objective test and tutored work. FIRST OPPORTUNITY: In order to pass the Architectural Studies (cases), students must complete all the assignments scheduled throughout the course on time; they must submit the last assignment with the corrections indicated by the teacher; and they must obtain at least a grade of 5 out of 10 points. The mark for Architectural Studies (cases) will represent 5% of the total final mark for the subject, in the practical part of the evaluation and will be added to the 60% corresponding to the evaluation of tutored work, and Workshop Practice 5%, resulting in 70% of the total for the subject. In order to obtain the credits for the subject, it is essential to take all the assessment tests and to obtain an average mark of 5 points out of 10 or more; if a mark of at least 4 out of 10 is not obtained in any part of the subject, the student will be required to pass the course. |

Students will have to prepare an ordered summary document with these references which must be submitted for prior assessment before the Objective Test of the subject. FIRST OPPORTUNITY: In order to pass the Portfolio_JOURNAL_ PORTFOLIO part of the course, students will have to deliver the final assignment on time; they will have to present the last assignment with the corrections indicated by the teacher; and they will have to obtain at least a grade of 5 points out of 10. A minimum attendance of 80% will be required in order to be able to take the Portfolio_Diary_Portfolio part of the course. Failure to submit all or part of the Portfolio_JOURNAL_ PORTFOLIO exercises will result in a grade of NOT SUBMITTED. Students who pass this part of the Portfolio_JOURNAL_PORTFOLIO in the June opportunity will keep the grade until the next opportunity in July. SECOND CHANCE: If the student does not pass the subject at the first opportunity, he/she will take a test with the same characteristics and with the same weighting coefficient in the final grade as the one taken at the first opportunity. The revision of the exams will take place during the timetable set by the teachers of the subject. They will be announced sufficiently in advance on the Department's notice board. |

| Assessment comments | |||
|
The assessment and recovery criteria for the Second Chance, both for the objective test and the Portfolio_Notebook, Architectural Studies and tutored work, will have the same weighting coefficients and the same minimum grade of 5 points out of 10 as those indicated for the First Chance. Measures of dedication for part-time students: these are not contemplated, due to the fact that this is a subject in which tutored work, case studies and workshops are fundamental methodologies. Academic dispensation: not contemplated, as this is a subject in which tutored work, case studies and workshop are fundamental methodologies. The detection of plagiarism, as well as the fraudulent performance of tests or evaluation activities, once verified, will directly imply the grade of "0" in the subject in the corresponding call, thus invalidating any grade obtained in all evaluation activities for the extraordinary call. |
