2.3. Importance of learning goals
In the design of the Degree as a whole, the courses of Projects I and II are taken in the last year of the degree. Both aim to ensure that students are able to face any type of project in the field of construction, having sufficient tools and the necessary knowledge to come up with any technical solutions, in a reasoned, justified, and coherent manner, in parameters of equity, constructive logics, saving of material, human and economic resources, as well as sustainability and energy and consumption saving.
These courses are the at the base of the correct Production of the Final Degree Projects.
The correct choice of the essays and practice tasks to develop in both courses as well as an adequate work that leads to obtaining final results.
3. Assessment (1st and 2nd call)
3.1. Assessment tasks (description of tasks, marking system and assessment criteria)
The student must prove that they have achieved the expected learning outcomes through the following assessment activities:
At the beginning of the course the student will choose one of the following two assessment methodologies:
- Class Attendance: With a compulsory attendance of more than 85% of the total learning process hours.
- Class Non-attendance: With less than 85% of attendance hours
The development of the course is mainly practical, preparing the students for a hypothetical real situation of professional activity. In the course of the learning process, a complete technical project is developed and defined, which will be carried out with the theoretical explanations simultaneously. Each one of the parts, units and sections to be developed are checked in workshop-type classes and are continuously evaluated.
The final assessment will include the entire project, with the different parts, and with the improvements that have been made throughout the course.
Those who cannot attend the course regularly are given the chance to follow it through the MOODLE platform, and carry out the work and the project independently, with the help of tutorials.
The assessment of the project accounts for 70% of the grade.
Class participation accounts for 10% of the grade.
A theoretical test of the Techniques of Demolition and Management of RCDs will be carried out, accounting for 20% of the final grade.
4. Methodology, learning tasks, syllabus and resources
4.1. Methodological overview
The methodology followed in this course is oriented towards the achievement of the learning objectives. A wide range of teaching and learning tasks are implemented, such as theory sessions, practice sessions, tutorials, and autonomous work and study.
"If classroom teaching were not posssible due to health reasons, it would be carried out on-line"
4.2. Learning tasks
This course is organized as follows:
- Theory sessions, where teachers explain and implement the contents of the course, which coincide with the contents of various projects and building work.
- Practice sessions, theory will be put into practice with specific cases building projects. These sessions have a double typology:
- Workshops: development of the work done. Working individually or in groups according to the practice. Monitoring and supervision of the work by teachers.
- Exhibitions and debates: Explanation of the work performed, arguing solutions and establishing a debate and dialogue among students. Of the topics presented, each student must be able to recognize those sections that apply in the various practical cases of a specific project. Each project has specific specifications. It is proposed to develop, in parallel to the theory, a prototype of a project, and go working and completing all documentation necessary for each case, knowing how to discern those contents that are applicable in each case, finding the optimal solution, justifying them.
