| Methodologies | Description |
| Guest lecture / keynote speech | Lectures aim to provide to the student the knowledge of several building systems (interior partition systems, vertical circulation systems and interior/exterior finishes). The standards requirements in order to choose the appropriate system (performance) will be explained, and each system will be analysed in order to know how to prescribe every solution, its repair and maintenance, as well as estimate its cost, always in accordance with the architectural project. Reference documentation and several examples of buildings will be provided to learn from the mistakes and the decisions took. An intelligent knowledge is sought instead of rote learning. Within the Moodle platform, students will have access to the subject's lessons, as well as various complementary and supporting documentation. The student must pass an objective test and several multiple-choice questions. |
| Objective test | The objective tests seek to verify the application of knowledge and the skills acquired by students. Students may use documentary support (books, own notes based on a practical case, etc.). It will be assessed as a whole, not each question. |
| Multiple-choice questions | Students must complete four mandatory testing about different topics in order to promote learning and continuous assessment. These tests are carried out within the learning platform UDC Moodle. |
| Workshop | The Workshop methodology includes the two modalities proposed in the study plan: the ARCHITECTURE WORKSHOP and the SUBJECT WORKSHOP. The ARCHITECTURE WORKSHOP is a workspace where several subjects join around a project of architecture. The students develop an architectural project, agreed by the subjects that join the workshop, with the support and supervision of the workshop teachers. The content to develop, relative to the construction subject, is specified in the documentation that is delivered to the students at the beginning of the course. The SUBJECT WORKSHOP is a modality where the students develop a task, usually an architectural project (in parallel to the specific work of the architecture workshop), with the support and supervision of the teachers of the subject. The tasks of both workshops are based on the realization of practices/projects, in which the students apply the skills learnt during lectures. They learn the relationship between the compositional processes of architecture and its construction. The practices are developed and corrected during the interactive sessions (practical classes of the subject and workshop). During the interactive sessions, exercises from previous years are also presented, explaining and detailing the content of each part, serving as support for the workshop classes. The assess of the tasks of the architecture workshop and the workshop of the subject will be weighted according to the requirements of each one of the works. Weighting will be specified, at the beginning of the semester, in a document that will be delivered to the students. Mandatory partial deliveries may be raised. The works will be uploaded to the Moodle platform and also printed when a teacher requests it. |
| Supervised projects | The students (in group, up to three students, or individually), voluntarily, may participate in the competitions that the teachers suggest. They 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. Note. The hours assigned to supervised projects, indicated in the planning of the subject, may be compensated with those assigned to the workshop. |
| Events academic / information | Activities carried out by the students that imply attendance and/or participation in academic, scientific and/or informative events (congresses, conferences, symposiums, courses, seminars, conferences, exhibitions, etc.) with the aim of deepening their knowledge of topics of study related to the subject. |
