Methodologies
Methodologies
  Description
Introductory activities The introductory activities are linked to the beginning of the course and to comments on specific aspects of the practices.
Lecture The master classes deal with topics of general knowledge, both documentary and normative aspects that can affect the work and instrumental fields, linked to various techniques necessary to carry out the work.
Presentations / oral communications The presentations and expositions are the sessions where the students publicly expose the state and evolution of the works.
Workshop (architecture) The Workshop is the most disciplinary field of work where analyzes and projects on the territory are discussed more individually or with small groups.
Practical cases/ case studies in the classroom The study of cases in the classroom complements the Workshop.
Personal attention In addition to the attention given to each student by their everyday work, it is possible to comment on individual problems either to the teachers responsible for the group or to the coordinator.

Other comments and second exam session

The exercises of the course can be developed in group or individually they depend on each case.The type of exercise will be defined in each statement.In any case, it should be noted that to pass the course it will be essential to have approved the set of individual exercises.The specific weight of each exercise will be defined in the course program.

They will only have access to the second call, those students who have followed the school year during the course, because it is considered a continuous evaluation.

Other comments
Donada la coincidència dels horaris de les assignatures de projectes, el volum de competències a assolir i la obligatorietat de l'assistència de l'alumne per a ser qualificat en avaluació continuada, no es recomana cursar simultàniament més d'una assignatura d'Urbanisme i Projectes. També es fa del tot necessari tenir aprovades assignatures instrumentals dels cursos anteriors, com dibuix i tècniques de representació, construcció i instal·lacions, per poder tenir un bon rendiment acadèmic.
