General description and relevant information <div>Recognition and representation of architectural forms through computer media in conventional views and three-dimensional modeling. The degree in architecture maintains full attendance. In the case of a new situation of state of alarm or territorial confinement, students will be informed, through the moodle of the subject, the relevant changes or modifications in the teaching curriculum.</div>

Personalized attention
Description

Resolution of questions on the theoretical questions, exercises and tests of the course in a personalized way. Personalized attention will be agreed between the student and the different teachers of the subject according to the timetables established by each professor.The personalized attention can be done by email addressed to the different teachers of the subject: Josep Ramon Domingo: joseramon.domingo@urv.cat Albert Samper: albert.samper@urv.cat.  Students will also be taken care of in person in the consultation hours or in an extraordinary situation (state of alarm or territorial confinement) it will be possible to be realized by means of video-conferences.

FIRST CALL:

During the course there will be 3 assessable tests: 2 controls distributed during the course on the dates indicated in the calendar, and a first call exam by mean of that the entire subject matter will be evaluated. The qualification in continuous assessment will come in 20% of the mark of each of the 2 controls, and in 60% of the mark of the first call exam. No minimum grade is required for the realization of the weighted average which will have to be equal to or greater than 5 to pass the course. For the calculation of the weighted average, the marks of those assessable tests which are listed as not presented will be equivalent to a grade of 0.

SECOND CALL:

In the event that the grade obtained in the first call is less than 5, it will be necessary to take an exam in the second call corresponding to the recovery of the subject. To pass the exam in the second call, the grade will have to be equal to or greater than 5. In this second call, the mark of the previous controls will no longer be taken into account.

Students who wish to do so, and who have obtained a grade of at least notable in the first call, will have the option of taking the exam in the second call to raise the grade. In this case, the final grade for the course will be the highest grade between the grade obtained in the first call and the one obtained in the second call.
