Teaching Methods

Classes will be theoretical-practical. The content will be introduced based on the analysis of architectural works of reference.
The student must choose one of the following types of assessment: continuous and final.
- Continuous assessment
In the regime of continuous assessment, the student will perform two tests of frequency, the chapters relating to subjects taught, and a practical work, consisting of various exercises. The average obtained in the final evaluation, corresponding to the simple arithmetic average of the two frequencies of the notes with a weight of 70% plus 30% of the evaluation obtained at work. The balance of the note of the work can not introduce variations above or below a value, the average of the two frequencies. If the student misses a partial or her evaluations were rated less than 8 values, the system will automatically final evaluation.
- Final evaluation
The student performs a test at the end of the year, covering the whole matter.
