2. Pre-Requisites
The student is recommended to have acquired the fundamental knowledge studied in the subject "Mechanics for Structures": internal efforts in isostatic and hypertactic structures and displacements. It would also be advisable for the student to know the concepts taught in the subjects of Fundamentals of Mathematics, Physics and Construction Materials Bases: basic concepts of statics, in particular concepts of force, displacement, inertia, equilibrium, etc. Despite these recommendations, none of these requirements are mandatory to follow the course.
3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
This subject provides the student with the basic skills necessary to carry out the professional activity of an Architect, particularly those related to the fundamental concepts of structural calculation. The knowledge acquired in this subject serves as the basis for acquiring the skills developed in the compulsory subjects of the Architecture degree and common to the Structures Subject, the Construction Subject and the Architecture Project Workshops.

8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
| Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
| Final test | 70.00% | 70.00% | Final test: it will consist of questions, theoretical questions and/or exercises. |
| Projects | 30.00% | 30.00% | Theoretical-practical exercises to be solved in groups. |

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:Final exam (E): Final test that will consist of theoretical questions and/or exercises. To pass the subject it will be necessary to obtain a minimum mark of 4 in the Final Exam (70%).
Work (T): Theoretical-practical exercises to be solved in groups (30%).
It will be considered that the student has passed the subject if, being E >= 4 and calculating the final mark as Final Mark = E*0.70+ T*0.30, the Final Mark is greater than or equal to 5. In case E < 4 , the final mark can not be greater than 4.
No mark from previous courses will be kept. -
Non-continuous evaluation:There will be a Test (P) (70%) that will consist of theoretical questions and/or exercises. To pass the subject it will be necessary to obtain a minimum mark of 4 in the Test.
To assess the competences evaluated in the Work (30%), either the student will be asked to submit a work or an additional test will be carried out on the same day of the Test with theoretical-practical questions and/or exercises to be solved in the classroom. of computers.
The Final Mark of the subject will be obtained as NF=0.70*P+0.30*T, being necessary a Final Mark greater than or equal to 5 to pass the subject. In case that the minimum mark of 4 is not obtained in the Test, the final mark may not be greater than 4.
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
Test (E) that will consist of theoretical questions and/or exercises (70%), in which to pass the subject it will be necessary to obtain a minimum mark of 4.
To assess the competences evaluated in the Work (T) (30%): The student who requests it will keep the mark obtained in the work of the ordinary call. The student who chooses not to keep the mark obtained in the work in ordinary call, theoretical-practical questions will be added and/or a work will be required to assess the skills evaluated in the work.
The Final Mark will be obtained as Final Mark = 0.7*E+0.3*T, being necessary a Final Mark greater than or equal to 5 to pass the subject. In case that E < 4, the final mark can not be higher than 4.
To assess the competences evaluated in the Work (T) (30%): The student who requests it will keep the mark obtained in the work of the ordinary call. The student who chooses not to keep the mark obtained in the work in ordinary call, theoretical-practical questions will be added and/or a work will be required to assess the skills evaluated in the work.
The Final Mark will be obtained as Final Mark = 0.7*E+0.3*T, being necessary a Final Mark greater than or equal to 5 to pass the subject. In case that E < 4, the final mark can not be higher than 4.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
Test (E) that will consist of theoretical questions and/or exercises (70%), in which to pass the subject it will be necessary to obtain a minimum mark of 4.
To assess the competences evaluated in the Work (T) (30%): The students who request it, they will keep the mark obtained in the work of the last academic year that they have completed. The students who choose not to keep the mark obtained in the work of the last academic year that they have completed, will have additional theoretical-practical questions and/or the a work will be requested to assess the skills evaluated in the work.
The Final Mark of the subject will be obtained as Final Mark = 0.7*E+0.3*T, being necessary a Final Mark greater than or equal to 5 to pass the subject. In case that E < 4, the final mark can not be higher than 4.
To assess the competences evaluated in the Work (T) (30%): The students who request it, they will keep the mark obtained in the work of the last academic year that they have completed. The students who choose not to keep the mark obtained in the work of the last academic year that they have completed, will have additional theoretical-practical questions and/or the a work will be requested to assess the skills evaluated in the work.
The Final Mark of the subject will be obtained as Final Mark = 0.7*E+0.3*T, being necessary a Final Mark greater than or equal to 5 to pass the subject. In case that E < 4, the final mark can not be higher than 4.
