PRESENTATION:

This is a course designed to promote the exchange of professional experiences with other disciplines that improve the daily development of the professional activity, access to other profiles of complementary training or interest, know different professional action frameworks and develop collaborative links according to the promotion of the use of the professional skills of the architect, intervening in areas disconnected from the profession, fostering a professional enrichment of a universal nature oriented to the development of capacities for decision-making, conflict resolution and leadership and awakening in the students a spirit critical and non-conformist oriented towards the initiation in the world of research.

Subject planning could be modified due unforeseen circumstances (group performance, availability of resources, changes to academic calendar etc.) and should not, therefore, be considered to be definitive.


TEACHING AND LEARNING METHODOLOGIES AND ACTIVITIES:

Teaching and learning methodologies and activities applied:

This is an eminently practical subject in which the lectures and the theory of innovation will be combined throughout the semester, but the dynamics of most of the course will be a combination of studies / case studies and workshops with frequent individualized corrections and a final crit.


Another pillar of the subject will be the corrections between students oriented to the students to analyze and value the work among them. In order to encourage cooperative work and make an activity closer to reality, it will be encouraged that the work can be developed in groups depending on the total number of students.

Each type of sessions, work and activities are designed for the development of the competences that the student must acquire in the course. The most important recommendations made to students can be summarized in the following scheme:

_ Attendance to the theoretical sessions in a participatory and critical way.

_Complement the topics covered in these sessions with the information offered in the bibliography or commented in class.

_Use, at any time, tutorial sessions to resolve any doubt or problem.

_ Begin performing practical tasks without postponing them too early.

_Resolve the difficulties encountered with colleagues.

_Search, research, propose.

_Use the PDU for this collaboration and teacher participation is considered important.
