Methodologies Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech A relevant fraction of the face-to-face activity uses the expository method, whose responsibility falls mainly on the teaching staff, either orally or with the addition of audiovisual media. However, and regardless of the above, during these sessions the aim is to achieve a certain quota of participation by the students, enhancing their involvement, promoting feedback on the process (and therefore the two-way nature of communication), and energizing the learning mechanisms through interaction techniques.
Problem solving There will be practical tests, designed from the previously worked content, and which must be solved in a limited time. The progressive nature of such tests obeys the criteria of continuous evaluation, so that the conclusions of each phase can serve to redirect the teaching and learning processes appropriately, adapting them to the particularities of the group in order to achieve the intended competences.
Workshop The subject participates in the 7th semester workshop, where Projects 6, Construction 5 and Urban Planning 4 are also integrated. The workshop is conceived as a work and exchange space designed to facilitate the confluence of the contents of the different subjects around the architectural project, and therefore is based on the multidisciplinary integration on the resolution of practical cases.
Diagramming It is intended that the student develop the analysis and synthesis skills during the course through the preparation of synoptic documents. In this way, an attempt is made to reinforce meaningful learning through the structured synthesis of the main contents worked on. The elaboration is understood as progressive, continuously ordering concepts and expressions, outlining analysis processes, and influencing the deduction of possible relationships between the successive themes of the program.
Mixed objective/subjective test Written tests are proposed as a diagnostic, formative and summative evaluation tool. The design adjusts in each statement to the profile of knowledge and abilities that it is intended to value, influencing the understanding of the theoretical contents and the skills associated with the analysis and resolution of practical cases.
