Methodologies Competencies Description Qualification
Guest lecture / keynote speech A3 A4 A5 A6 A10 This methodology has to do with the foundations of knowledge of the subject specified in the contents.

In these classes, the students have a receptive aptitude following the presentations by supporting drawings on the blackboard, screen projections and digital tools (ICT).

Students take notes and ask questions about the issues raised. It aims to develop the lessons, providing both concepts and the necessary tools for their understanding from a perspective in which the architecture is always present.

There are two types of exercises:
1. Drawing exercises on the board with a dedication of a practice session, 25%.
2. Special exercises as a control of the student´s learning process, 35%.

Architectural models of prestigious architects are selected for the development of these graphic exercises, whose formalization processes are clear and definable, in order that the students achieve an architectural culture.

All exercises are mandatory.
