Methodologies Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech A relevant fraction of the face-to-face activity uses the lecture method, whose responsibility falls fundamentally on the teaching staff, either orally or with the complement of audio-visual media. However, and regardless of the above, during these sessions the aim is to achieve a certain level of participation by students, enhancing their involvement, encouraging feedback from the process (and therefore the two-way nature of communication), and stimulating the mechanisms of learning through interaction techniques.
Problem solving There will be practical tests, designed from the contents previously worked on. The progressive nature of such tests obeys criteria of continuous training, so that the conclusions of each phase can serve to redirect the teaching and learning processes conveniently, adapting them to the particularities of the group in order to achieve the intended competencies.
Workshop The subject participates in the Sixth Semester Workshop, which also integrates Architectural design 5, Construction 4 and Urbanism 3. The workshop is understood as a work space and exchange designed to facilitate the confluence of the contents of the different subjects around the architectural project, and by both are based on multidisciplinary integration on case study resolution.
Diagramming In the resolution of problems and mixed tests it is intended to use as a support a synoptic document that the student will make throughout the course. Attempts are thus made to reinforce meaningful learning through the structured synthesis of the main contents of the subject. The elaboration is understood progressive, ordering of continuous form concepts and expressions, schematizing processes of analyses, and affecting the deduction of possible relations between the successive subjects of the program.
Mixed objective/subjective test Written tests are presented as a diagnostic and formative assessment tool. The design adjusts in each statement to the profile of knowledge and abilities that is intended to be valued, focusing on the understanding of the theoretical contents and the skills associated with the analysis and resolution of practical cases.
