2- Interactive classes in which the students will carry out practices related to the theoretical contents of the subject (commentaries of images of works and plans of architecture and urbanism, aerial views, virtual recreations, text commentaries, etc.), which as far as possible may be exposed orally in the classroom. The students will have to carry out a series of practices to submit and be evaluated.
If the opportunity arises and it is possible, a FIELD PRACTICE to be determined related to the syllabus of the subject will be carried out.
3- Personalized tutoring.
1. EVALUATION ON THE CONTENTS OF THE EXPOSITIVE CLASSES (THEORETICAL): exam that will represent 60% of the total grade (6 points). In order to make average/sum of the different parts it will be necessary that all and each one of them are approved. Those who do not pass the exam will have to take the exam of the second opportunity (July).
2. EVALUATION OF THE INTERACTIVE CLASSES: Attendance and participation in the debates, seminars, practices proposed by the professors and delivered in writing within the established deadlines, and field practices. This part will represent 40% of the total grade (4 points). It will be mandatory to pass this part in order to average it with the exam grade. Those who do not hand in the practicals within the established deadlines will have to pass these practicals by means of some questions in the exam of the second opportunity of the call (July).
This evaluation system will be used for both the first opportunity (January) and the second opportunity (July).
For cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the provisions of the Regulations for the evaluation of the academic performance of students and review of grades will apply.
