| Events academic / information | A25 A26 B3 B11 C6 C7 C8 | Unless there is a good reason, in order to pass the subject at any of the opportunities, attendance at these events is required. | 0 |
| Guest lecture / keynote speech | A14 A17 A19 A20 A21 A25 A26 A27 A31 A32 A63 B1 B4 B5 B6 B9 B10 B11 C1 C3 C4 C5 C6 C7 C8 | In order to pass the subject (first and second opportunities), attendance required is at least 75%. Students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic waiver of attendance exemption: 50%. When attendance is completed, it will be preserved in subsequent opportunities. Students must pass an objective test and several multiple-choice questions tests. |

| Workshop | A14 A17 A19 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 | Attendance required: 80%. Students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic waiver of attendance exemption: 50%. Partial deliveries can be required. In that case, they are mandatory in order to the final work be graded. The assessment for compulsory projects is not restricted to content; the authorship must be proved (see comments). There will be no compensation between this evaluation and other qualifications of the subject. In this assessment, all the tasks related to the subject (workshop work and/or specific work on the subject) will be considered and assessed in proportion to their complexity. Students must get at least a 5 score (out of 10). Students will not pass the task if they made serious mistakes such: non-compliance with technical codes; absence of waterproof barriers or insulating elements; acoustic bridges; wrong description of glazing and carpentry; thermal bridges or condensations will be considered serious errors that can lead to fail the subject. In order to pass, first year students must deliver every part of the workshop. If not, they will obtain a "NO PRESENTADO" (absent from assessment). According to the documentation from ETSAC degree in Architectural Studies memory, a Board of Assessment will be convened to analyze the results and resolve, if appropriate, specific cases of student assessment. Students who fail the workshop in the first opportunity will have a second chance to pass. If they obtain a "NO PRESENTADO" (absent from assessment), they cannot attend the second opportunity. Students who fail the specific part of the subject (Construction 5) must develop in consecutive opportunities, with the appropriate adjustments, the project failed. This will happen in all opportunities and calls. Students with partial validations or exchange programs will have a set treatment for each case. |

| Multiple-choice questions | A25 A26 A27 A31 A32 C1 C3 | Students must complete four mandatory testing about different topics. They must get at least a 5 score (out of 10) in each test (including penalizations). Three attempts in each are allowed with cumulative penalty of two points (first attempt: 0 points penalty, second attempt: 2 points, third attempt: 4 points). When students get at least a 5 score (out of 10), mark will be preserved until July (included) (for each test independently). These tests are carried out within the learning platform UDC Moodle. |

| Objective test | A14 A17 A19 A20 A21 A25 A26 A27 A31 A32 A63 B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 B9 B10 B11 B12 C1 C4 C5 C6 C7 C8 | The objective tests seek to verify the application of knowledge and the skills acquired by students. Students may use documentary support (laptops, books and/or own notes). In order to pass the objective test, students may get at least a 4 score (out of 10). Mark will be preserved until the second opportunity (included). Students will not pass the objective test if they made serious errors such: non-compliance with technical codes; absence of waterproof barriers or insulating elements; acoustic bridges; wrong description of glazing and carpentry; thermal bridges or condensations. |

| Supervised projects | A14 A25 A26 A27 A31 A32 B1 B4 B5 B9 B10 C5 C6 C7 C8 | The students (in group, up to three students, or individually), voluntarily, will carry out different supervised projects, specified at the beginning of the semester. The student can get up to 3 points that will be added to the mark obtained in the objective test. |

In order to promote continuous assessment, attendance will be controlled and the final mark will depend on the attitude and the work of the student. Students must pass theoretical and practical tests (Objective test, Multiple-choice questions tests) and the workshop. This will confirm if the student assimilated the concepts, the competences, and methods of work of the subject. SIMULTANEOUS CONDITIONS TO PASS THE SUBJECT IN ALL OPPORTUNITIES:
Those students who, in addition to develop the mandatory tasks (C6), wish to participate, voluntarily, in the competitions that the teachers suggest, will obtain a point that will be added to the qualification of the objective test –theory exam–, as long as they get the minimum mark. The members of the winning team will get 2 points. IMPORTANT: In order to obtain these points, the students will have to submit the minimum documentation required in the competition rules and have been supervised by one of the teachers of the subject. OVERALL AVERAGE MARK: Average between the mark of the objective test (plus the supervised projects and/or the students competition) with the average of the multiple choice questions. This mark makes average with the workshop work. If the above conditions are not got, the same formula will be applied but the maximum rating will be restricted to 4,9 out of 10,0. The plagiarism or the fraudulent performance of objective tests or any other evaluation activities, once verified, will directly imply a failure grade "0" in the subject at the corresponding opportunity. Students who failed at the first opportunity will have a second chance to pass. If they obtain a "NO PRESENTADO" (absent from assessment), they cannot attend the second opportunity. If students do not get the minimum attendance or do not deliver every part of the subject (Objective test, Multiple-choice questions tests, Supervised projects and Workshop), then they will obtain a "NO PRESENTADO" (absent from assessment) (in each opportunity). Students with partial validations or exchange programs will have a set treatment for each case. The program of the subject, delivered at the beginning of the course, will include information about minimum contents, delivery dates, dates of multiple choice tests, lessons, partial deliveries and everything needed to study the subject. |
