Methodologies Description
Introductory activities Activities carried on before starting the learning-teaching process to get to know the abilities, interests and motivations the students should have to obtain the objectives. With these activities relevant information must be obtained to articulate the teaching and significant traineeship, based on students previous knowledge.
It is also aimed guiding the students in the content, methodologies, learning outcomes of this subject (and AAF) and how he will be evaluated.
Supervised projects This methodology is principally (not exclusively) based on competences and contents of Architectural Technical Drawing; students will be required to complete several assignments during the non-class hours (45) allocated for these activities.
Three supervised projects should be done:
1) Introductory assignment.
2) Development assignment.
3) Test / practical (assignment).
This section of the course focuses on learning ‘how things are done’ and the promotion of supervised independent learning (under the supervision of the teacher).
Class contact hours (14) will be used for the proposal and discussion of project topics and related theoretical considerations. Class time will also include a series of group and/or individual project monitoring sessions. The test assignment will be done during part of the class hours.
Workshop The workshop section of the module includes both class time practice sessions (30 hours) and non-class time (54 hours) spent on workshop tasks assigned and supervised by the lecturer.
This methodology is principally (not exclusively) based on competences and contents of Freehand Drawing.
As in the case of supervised project work, workshop tasks are focused on learning ‘how things are done’ and encouraging supervised independent learning.
Students will be required to produce a set amount of graphical work (defined in advance by the lecturer) during the hours allocated for workshop activities.
Workshop activities will be based on the following categories and assessed individually, with each task accounting for a specific portion of the overall mark:
1) Class work (ordinary class hours)
2) Weekly practical tasks (student´s personal work hours)
3) Final test drawings (final exam)
Guest lecture / keynote speech Oral presentation, using audiovisual aids and other resources, intended to convey knowledge and encourage learning.
Theoretical content will be divided according to the module’s two main subject areas and taught using a non-linear approach, based on the make-up of the group and the learning objectives proposed by the lecturer.
