| 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 | A13 A17 A19 A20 A25 A26 A29 A31 A32 A63 B1 B3 B4 B5 B6 B7 B9 B10 B11 B12 C1 C3 C4 C5 C8 | In order to pass the subject (first and second opportunities), attendance required is at least 80%. 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 | A13 A17 A19 A20 A25 A26 A29 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%. The works will be uploaded to the Moodle platform and also printed when a teacher requests it. 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 only restricted to content; the authorship must be proved (see comments). There will be no compensation between this assessment and other marks of the subject. In this section, all the tasks related to the architectural workshop and subject workshop will be assessed and pondered in proportion to their complexity. As previously indicated, the weighting applied in the evaluation of each work will be indicated, at the beginning of the course, in a document that will be delivered to the students. The tasks will be valued out of 10 and will be averaged -when students get at least a 5 score (out of 10) in each work-, in the stipulated percentage, with the average mark of the objective test + Multiple-choice questions. Students will not pass the task if they made serious mistakes such: non-compliance with technical codes; acoustical bridges; finishes: absence of expansion joints; stairs: wrong dimensions; contact between incompatible materials. In order to pass, first year students must deliver every part of the architectural 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 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. Students who fail the specific part of the subject must develop in consecutive opportunities, with the appropriate adjustments, the project failed. This will happen in all opportunities and calls. |

| Objective test | A13 A17 A19 A20 A25 A26 A29 A31 A32 A63 B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 B6 B7 B9 B10 B11 B12 C1 C3 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 mistakes such: non-compliance with technical codes; acoustical bridges; finishes: absence of expansion joints; stairs: wrong dimensions; contact between incompatible materials. |

| Supervised projects | A25 A26 A31 A32 B1 B4 B5 B9 B10 C5 C6 C7 C8 | The student can get up to 2 points (see Methodologies) that will be added to the mark obtained in the objective test. | 0 |
| Multiple-choice questions | A13 A17 A25 A26 A29 A31 A32 B1 B2 B3 B5 B7 B11 B12 C3 C6 C7 | 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 second opportunity (included) (for each test independently). These tests are carried out within the learning platform UDC Moodle. |

| Assessment comments | |||
|
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:
OVERALL AVERAGE MARK: Average between the mark of the objective test (plus the supervised projects) with the average of the multiple choice questions. This mark makes average with the workshop work/s. 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 work/s, minimum contents, delivery dates, dates of multiple choice tests, etc. |
