The subject will be developed according to the PBL (Project Based Learning) methodology, based on cooperative learning based on projects, according to ERAGIN. It will consist on the group development of a project, based on a driving question, the definition of a scenario and the sources of information.



With the PBL methodology various types of coherent activities will be used, such as prior knowledge surveys, group self-assessment, personal portfolio preparation, brainstorming, poster preparation, public presentations, technical talks by invited professionals, contrasted peer discussions, discussions and debate, cooperative activities such as puzzles and exercises, collaborative forums on the eGela virtual platform, individual assessment tests of minimum knowledge and development of delivery work.

The subject of Construction I, together with the subjects of projects and Urbanism, participates in the Integrated Workshop of 3rd Year. Since the tasks of the ERAGIN program are hardly compatible with the question, calendar and working process of the Workshop, both activities will be evaluated separately to obtain the overall evaluation of the subject:

- ERAGIN Project: 85%

- Integrated Workshop: 15%

Not all students participate in the Integrated Workshop but those who are enrolled in the subject of Projects V of 3rd Year. Therefore, students who do NOT have to follow the Integrated Workshop will have to carry out an activity parallelly to the PBL and similar to the one proposed in the Workshop in terms of workload, This parallel activity will have a value of 15% in the final evaluation .

There are two ways to pass the subject:

CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT



In this mode, the continuous monitoring of the PBL, for classroom work as well as the work developed outside the classroom, through the different activities, tasks, tests and work deliveries is proposed as the way to pass the subject. The three main work deliveries and the three individual tests to be carried out during the course must have a mark higher than 5, each one. Individual work deliveries and tests that do not reach this value can be redone in the ordinary and/or extraordinary final calls.



In order to obtain the final evaluation of each student, the following sections will be taken into account:

- Work delivered, tasks and activities associated with each subject (54% of the final mark):

- The qualification will be the same for all the members of the group.

- Part of the evaluation will correspond to the lecturer of the subject while another part will be in the hands of students of other groups after the peer review of the work deliveries of each subject.

- The instrument that will be used to assess the quality of the work delivered, by the teacher and by the students, will be the rubric. Depending on the content of each subject, specific rubrics will be prepared for each deliverable.

- Individual test associated to each subject (30% of the final mark):

- Three tests of minimum knowledge to be carried out individually during the four-month period, which correspond to the three main subjects of the term: the foundations, the structure and the roof.

- In order to pass the term each of the three individual tests must have an evaluation equal to or higher than 5 points. The minimum knowledge tests that could not be passed during the term can be redone in the dates foreseen by the Center for the final examns.

- The individual final evaluation marks will be determined according to the obtained mark and the number of opportunities that have been necessary.

- If ALL members of the group pass the minimum knowledge during the regular course of the course will get ONE additional POINT in the mark of the test.

- Attitude and participation in the course (16% of the final mark):

- The student's attitude and participation in the project and in the development of the course will be evaluated both by the teacher and by the students in as self-assessment.

- The attitude and participation of the group as a whole will be assessed in the course as well as the individual of each of the students, both in the group and in the course.

FINAL EVALUATION

Students will have the right of not following the subject according to the continuous evaluation, and to pass it by a final evaluation in the ordinary call. The final evaluation will result from the evaluation of a single final exam, to be performed on the officially established day, and an individual practical test, equivalent to the sum of the three partial practices proposed during the term. Both tests must obtain a minimum mark of 5 points (passed). For this purpose, the student must communicate in writing to the professor his/ her resignation to the continuous evaluation, before the 9th week of the term.

RESIGNATION TO THE SUBJECT

Not attending the classes and not following the normal development of the subject carrying out the proposed activities will mean the resignation to the continuous assessment. Moreover, not attending the final exam, nor delivering the final work in the final evaluation, will mean the resignation to the final evaluation. The resignation to both evaluations will be recorded as "Not Presented".
