	Teaching Methods
	TEACHING, IN RELATION TO ICAR17 CONTENT, INCLUDES THEORETICAL LESSONS (1.5 CFU), CLASSROOM EXERCISES (1 CFU) AND LABORATORY ACTIVITIES (0.5 CFU). DURING THE CLASSROOM EXERCISES STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO DEVELOP GRAPHS RELATED TO THE TOPICS ILLUSTRATED DURING THE THEORETICAL LESSONS. IN THE LABORATORIES THEY HAVE TO GAIN EXPERIENCE IN DIGITAL MODELING. COURSE ATTENDANCE IS COMPULSORY: THE MINIMUM PERCENTAGE OF ATTENDANCE REQUIRED TO TAKE THE EXAM IS 70% (AS PER CDS TEACHING REGULATIONS). THE TEACHER WILL VERIFY THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE REQUIRED PERCENTAGE OF PRESENCES THROUGH THE ELECTRONIC SURVEY.

	Verification of learning
	THE LEARNING VERIFICATION OF THE RESULTS ACHIEVED IS CARRIED OUT BY MEANS OF A FINAL TEST, WHICH INCLUDES A COMPUTER SCIENCE TEST AND A DRAWING TEST. THE DRAWING TEST CONSISTS OF A GRAPHIC PART CENTRED ON MODELLING AND AN ORAL INTERVIEW, SCHEDULED STARTING FROM THE END OF THE DIDACTIC ACTIVITIES: THIS INVOLVES THE DISCUSSION OF THE GRAPHIC WORKS AND THE PRESENTATION OF THE TOPICS OF THE THEORETICAL LESSONS. DURING THE INTERVIEW THE STUDENT WILL HAVE TO DEMONSTRATE THAT HE OR SHE UNDERSTANDS THE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE LANGUAGE AT THE BASIS OF INFOGRAPHIC REPRESENTATION AND THAT HE OR SHE KNOWS HOW TO ELABORATE, ACCORDING TO CONVENTIONAL CODED STANDARDS, DIGITAL MODELS OF COMPLEX FORMS THROUGH DEDICATED SOFTWARE. THE STUDENT MUST ALSO DEMONSTRATE MASTERY OF THE METHODS AND PROCEDURES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF INFOGRAPHIC MODELS OR THOSE SPECIFICALLY RELATED TO THE DISCIPLINE OF BIM, INTEGRATING TWO-DIMENSIONAL, THREE-DIMENSIONAL AND ALPHANUMERIC DATA AND ARRIVING AT ILLUSTRATIVE REPRESENTATIONS OF ARCHITECTURAL SPACE. FINALLY, IT MUST DEMONSTRATE THAT IT HAS ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE OF DIGITAL GRAPHIC TECHNIQUES FOR THE CREATION, VISUALIZATION, PRESENTATION AND COMMUNICATION OF A GRAPHIC PROJECT. THE LEVEL OF EVALUATION OF THE TESTS TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THE RELEVANCE OF THE METHODS USED, THE COMPLETENESS AND ACCURACY OF THE ANSWERS, AS WELL AS THE ABILITY TO PRESENT ORALLY AND GRAPHICALLY EXAMPLES RELATED TO THE TOPICS COVERED. THE MINIMUM LEVEL OF ASSESSMENT (18) IS GIVEN WHEN THE STUDENT DEMONSTRATES UNCERTAINTIES IN THE APPLICATION OF THE PROPOSED GRAPHIC METHODS AND PROCEDURES, AND HAS A KNOWLEDGE LIMITED TO THE BASICS OF THE VARIOUS TOPICS DEALT WITH. THE MAXIMUM LEVEL OF ASSESSMENT (30) IS GIVEN WHEN THE STUDENT DEMONSTRATES A COMPLETE AND IN-DEPTH KNOWLEDGE OF THE PROPOSED GRAPHIC METHODS AND PROCEDURES, AND IS ABLE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEMS FACED, ARRIVING IN AN EFFICIENT AND GRAPHICALLY ACCURATE WAY AT THE SOLUTION, SHOWING A FULL ABILITY TO APPLY IN PRACTICE THE THEORETICAL ASSUMPTIONS DEALT WITH DURING THE COURSE. LA LODE IS AVAILABLE WHEN THE APPLICANT PROVIDES AN ABSOLUTE PATRONANCE OF THEORICAL AND APPLICATIVE CONTENTS, THE CAPABILITY TO CORRELATE THE DIFFERENT ARGOMENTS TREATED IN A TRANSVERSAL MANIER, AND IS ABLE TO PRESENT TOPICS WITH REMARKABLE LANGUAGE PROPERTIES, BEING ABLE TO ELABORATE DIGITAL MODELS AUTONOMOUSLY EVEN WITH REFERENCE TO COMPLEX PROBLEMS NOT DEALT WITH BY THE TEACHER. THE AUTONOMY OF JUDGEMENT DEMONSTRATED IS ALSO ASSESSED
