Construction IV

Recommended Prerequisites

Not applicable.

Teaching Methods

The syllabus will be exposed in theoretical classes to enhance the interpretive analysis and develop the discipline's theoretical-practical component.
The theoretical-practical classes are oriented to developing exercises that promote the discovery of identity and integrity of the object of study and to the discussion of students' work.
The student's practical work follow-up sessions will be carried out individual and in groups through particularized approaches, consubstantiating a space for debate, and crossing of experiences and information.
The classification of each year results from the weighting of these aspects: attendance and performance in follow-up sessions (20%), continued development work (15%) and response to exercise (65%).
