It will be defined at the beginning of the course

2. Pre-Requisites

It is necessary to have good knowledge of graphic expression.

3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
The course aims to introduce the student to the design of public space and the calculation of urban services, so that the student is able to carry out basic urbanization projects.
It is taught in the same semester as the TP subject: Urban and Territorial Development, in which some of the knowledge acquired in the subject is used and, in addition, the necessary conceptual basis is provided to satisfactorily face the Final Degree Project when it is focuses on urban projects.

4. Degree competences achieved in this course

8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
Evaluation System Continuous assessment Non-continuous evaluation * Description
Final test 50.00% 65.00% In order to compensate the exam grade with the rest of the submissions, a minimum grade of 4 will be required.
Practicum and practical activities reports assessment 34.00% 35.00% Group and individual work on specific cases of design and calculation of urban infrastructures. In order to compensate these activities with the rest of the evaluable activities, a minimum grade of 4 will be required.
Assessment of active participation 16.00% 0.00% Participation in class, in debates, visits to public spaces and works, etc.
Total: 100.00% 100.00%  
According to art. 4 of the UCLM Student Evaluation Regulations, it must be provided to students who cannot regularly attend face-to-face training activities the passing of the subject, having the right (art. 12.2) to be globally graded, in 2 annual calls per subject , an ordinary and an extraordinary one (evaluating 100% of the competences).

Evaluation criteria for the final exam:
  • Continuous assessment:
    Regular attendance of the student to class is recommended.
    The minimum grade to be able to compensate between the deliveries made throughout the course, the presentations and the written exam will be 4.0. The weightings of the different activities will be calculated with the percentages indicated in this guide.
    In the case of failing the course, the grades of the approved activities for the following academic years are not saved.
  • Non-continuous evaluation:
    By default, students are in the continuous assessment system.
    Whoever chooses to opt for non-continuous assessment must notify the teaching staff of the subject before the end of the class period corresponding to said subject and can only do so if their participation in assessable activities (from the continuous assessment system) does not reach the value of 50 % of the total evaluation of the subject.
    In an extraordinary call, each student would be in the same evaluation system (continuous or non-continuous) as in the ordinary call
    The same practices will be developed, even if the cadence established in the continuous evaluation is not followed. The valuation of each one of the parts will be made according to the percentage weight granted to each one of the parts in this type of evaluation. The minimum grade to be able to compensate between the deliveries made throughout the course, the final presentations and the written exam will be 4.0.
    The student should not confuse non-continuous evaluation with non-face-to-face evaluation.
    In the case of failing the course, the grades of the approved activities for the following academic years are not saved.

Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
In the extraordinary call it will only be necessary to recover the compulsory activities that have not been overcome throughout the course and in the ordinary call.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
The criteria are the same as for the non-continuous evaluation.
