Description

Risks prevention

Promoting the continuous improvement of working and study conditions of the entire university community is one the basic principles and goals of the Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena. Such commitment to prevention and the responsibilities arising from it concern all realms of the university: governing bodies, management team, teaching and research staff, administrative and service staff and students. The UPCT Service of Occupational Hazards (Servicio de Prevención de Riesgos Laborales de la UPCT) has published a "Risk Prevention Manual for new students" (Manual de acogida al estudiante en materia de prevención de riesgos), which may be downloaded from the e-learning platform ("Aula Virtual"), with instructions and recommendations on how to act properly, from the point of view of prevention (safety, ergonomics, etc.), when developing any type of activity at the University. You will also find recommendations on how to proceed in an emergency or if an incident occurs. Particularly when carrying out training practices in laboratories, workshops or field work, you must follow all your teacher's instructions, because he/she is the person responsible for your safety and health during practice performance. Feel free to ask any questions you may have and do not put your safety or that of your classmates at risk.

5. Teaching method

Name

Description

Hours

In-class

Name

Class in conventional classroom: theory, problems, case studies, seminars, etc.

Description

Lectures about the syllabus. The number of students in class, being an elective course, is reduced, which allows an almost personalized monitoring of learning. The way in which teaching is planned, in a very interactive way with the student, through class attendance, technical presentations and tutorials, allows to detect possible training gaps, to evaluate the performance of students and to consolidate the most important concepts.

Assessment activities (continuous assessment system)

Description

Hours devoted to continuous assessment activities, such as:

PARTIAL EXAMS: Two partial exams on the syllabus. They can be oral.

TECHNICAL PRESENTATIONS: In a so-called "technical presentation", a student studies some content related to the syllabus, previously provided by the professor (such as a technical article, a book chapter, a project, etc.) and presents it in class. In addition, the student answers questions related to the presentation from the professor and the rest of the students. It is carried out during class time and can be part of a more general lecture given by the professor. Tentatively, there will be two technical presentations for each student, one in each half of the term. They will be scheduled sufficiently in advance. Depending on its complexity or length, the content of a technical presentation may be shared by two or more students.

Name

Exam/s (theory and/or practice).

Description and criteria

Two partial exams on the course syllabus. The exams can be oral. The first partial exam represents 40% of the overall grade. The second partial exam represents 40% of the overall grade. A minimum grade of 4 points in each partial exam must be achieved to pass the whole course. This activity assesses all the Learning Outcomes.

Percentage

80 %

Name

Individual assignments and/or presentations.

Description and criteria

This activity evaluates the so-called "technical presentations".

All the technical presentations carried out by a student during the whole course correspond to 20 % of the overall grade. The grade is individual for each student. The maximum grade for each presentation (that depends on its quality) is 20% of the overall grade divided by the number of technical presentations made by each student. Tentatively, there will be two technical presentations, one in each half of the term. They will be scheduled sufficiently in advance. This activity evaluates all the learning outcomes.
