| Events academic / information | A50 A53 B2 B3 B12 | The teaching staff may require students to attend cultural or informative events such as conferences, exhibitions, round tables, screenings, etc. that are considered to be of interest for the objectives of the subject. The contents of these activities must be reflected in the student's portfolio, where attendance will be accredited and evaluated accordingly. Students may also be required to prepare material summarising the work carried out in the subject for publication or public exhibition. |

| Workshop | A34 A39 A50 A55 A63 B1 B2 B3 B6 B10 B12 C1 C5 C6 C7 C8 | Each didactic unit contains practical exercises that will be developed in the classroom hours of interactive teaching and in the hours of non-classroom dedication by each of the students. In order to obtain a positive mark, it is essential to personally correct each and every one of the exercises with the corresponding teacher. Evaluation criteria The evaluation of this instrument will be progressive, continuous and global. At the end of the four-month period, the LAST EXERCISE must demonstrate that the student has achieved the following learning outcomes. student has achieved the following learning outcomes: 1. draw the site with sensitivity and accuracy. 2. Analyse and diagnose possible project objectives linked to place, use and users. 3. Draw sketches, diagrams, diagrams and diagrams that allow to advance in the creative process. 4. Find works of architecture that can serve as a reference and know how to transpose the logics applicable to your project. 5. Understand the concept of the guiding idea and know how to apply it to their proposals. 6. Establish a project idea based on the coherence between the guiding idea and the formal strategy. 7. Materialise the formal strategy adequately, both in relation to the programme (order, proportion, measures, coherence with the formal strategy) and in relation to the place (implementation, order, integration). 8. Adequately draw the proposal, taking into account the criteria of the self-assessment checklists. 8. Draw the proposal appropriately, taking into account the criteria of the self-assessment checklists, and always drawing the intervention implemented in its environment. |

| Guest lecture / keynote speech | A50 A53 B10 B12 C1 C3 C4 | Attendance is compulsory. Global assessment will not be possible without attendance at 85% of the classes. Classes include theoretical content, exercises and evaluation sessions. Lectures are considered to be those in which theoretical content, explanations of exercises and reviews of results are given. The lectures will be recorded in a personal notebook (student portfolio) which will be reviewed periodically, and which will accredit attendance. |

| Objective test | A63 B1 B2 | It will consist of a graphic workshop exercise to be carried out in person within a time frame of four hours, at the end of which it will be handed in. Students are allowed to use their own notes and exercises. Students will have to demonstrate the skills and competences acquired in relation to the awareness of the form of space and its order, sense of proportion and measurement, composition mechanisms, manipulation of contour lines, layout of staircases and handling of graphic resources. Assessment Criteria This test measures the MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS for PASSING the subject, for which reason a PASS mark must be obtained. The evaluation criteria of the exam are specified in the didactic resources called SELF-ASSESSMENT LISTS that can be found in the section of observations of the evaluation. In order to obtain a PASS in the exam, the errors specified in the SELF-ASSESSMENT LISTS must be avoided. Obtaining a fail mark in the objective test means failing the course. |

| Student portfolio | B1 B2 B3 | Each student will complete a personal notebook, portfolio or logbook throughout the course. It should be white paper and bound. It should reflect the whole learning process linked to the subject, although it does not have to be exclusive to it, and should include: _Annotations from the expository sessions and compulsory readings. Sketches and data from works of architecture that have aroused the student's interest and/or are used as a reference in the workshop exercises. Traces of the creative process of all workshop exercises: reflections, notes, data, sketches, analyses, diagrams, ideograms, formal arguments, reference works, plan and section diagrams, etc. Assessment criteria 1. Accuracy and rigour in data collection. 2. Quality of the drawing, which should improve throughout the course. 3. Composition, graphic quality and aesthetic sensitivity. |

General conditions to pass the course: _Hand-ins of the workshop exercises: 100%. A maximum of 20% of the exercises (1 exercise) delivered late, except for the final exercise. Submissions are accredited by uploading the file to the Moodle platform in due time and form. _Attendance at lectures and/or discussion groups: 85% (12 out of 14). _Portfolio: It can be reviewed by the workshop teacher at any time. It will be taken to the objective test for its final on-site review. It may be required to be scanned. _Workshop attendance and personalised work reviews: 85%. Attendance at the workshop is credited with the personal correction of the exercises with the workshop teacher; mere attendance is not sufficient. Academic exemption or partial attendance is not contemplated, as this is a subject in which the workshop is the fundamental methodology. The detection of alleged plagiarism, understood as the exact copying of other people's work not carried out in a group, will be assessed by an assessment panel made up of the teachers of the subject. The confirmation of its existence will result in a grade of zero for those involved, apart from other academic and criminal consequences provided for by the legal system. Specification of the minimum requirements for the successful completion of the subject Architectural Design 1 A.

B. JULY OPPORTUNITY. 1_To have fulfilled the general conditions of the course. Any non-compliance will result in the grade of not presented. 2_Obtain in the objective test a minimum grade of PASS. 3_To show a positive evolution throughout the four-month period and to reach the pass mark in the last of the exercises. REMINDER NOTE: It is not possible to pass the course in July without having fulfilled ALL the general conditions of the course, including the personalised corrections. The re-delivery of the last exercise in the July opportunity is left to the discretion of the corresponding workshop teacher, based on the student's commitment to the subject.
