Basic and general skills
CB1 - That students have demonstrated possession and understanding of knowledge in an area of study that is based on general secondary education, and is usually found at a level that, although supported by advanced textbooks, also includes some aspects that involve knowledge from the cutting edge of their field of study.
CB2 - That students know how to apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional manner and possess the skills that are usually demonstrated through the elaboration and defense of arguments and the resolution of problems within their area of study.
CB3 - That students have the ability to gather and interpret relevant data (normally within their area of study) to make judgments that include reflection on relevant issues of a social, scientific or ethical nature.
CB4 - That students can transmit information, ideas, problems and solutions to both a specialized and non-specialized audience
CB5 - That students have developed those learning skills necessary to undertake further studies with a high degree of autonomy
Specific competencies
CEOP4 - Knowledge of main risk situations in a work environment as well as protection and prevention methods
- The expository or master classes (30 hours) will be taught by the teachers in charge of the subject, may be supported by audiovisual material and encourage student participation.
- During the interactive seminars (6 hours) the concepts worked on during the expository classes will be deepened in a more open and interactive class format. During these activities, students' autonomous work will be encouraged with tools that facilitate feedback and self-assessment.
- During the practices (12 hours): exercises will be carried out so that the student can see the reality of the theorical content
Class attendance: In order to obtain evaluation in the Participation section, it will be necessary to attend the seminars.
Students with functional diversity:
The student who presents any type of functional diversity or difficulty in daily monitoring of the subject, whether that difficulty is permanent or temporary, must justify this situation through a document issued by the service accredited by the USC for these purposes and report their case to the corresponding teacher within the first two weeks of the semester, so that both parts can agree as soon as possible on the student's work plan on the subject and, if necessary, make any curricular and/or evaluative adaptations that may be relevant (that is, reasonable) to address each particular situation, so that the student in question could succeed in the indicated subject.
To evaluate the students' use of this subject, the following criteria will be taken into account:
• Completion of the final multiple choice test or short question test. It will have a weight of 65% regarding the final score. It will be necessary to obtain a score equal to or greater than 50% of the grade to pass the subject.
• The remaining 35% will be distributed as follows: 10% work, 15% classroom activities and 10% achievement/participation.
In the evaluation of the seminars, the extent to which the student achieved the following competencies will be considered:
CB1 - That students have demonstrated possession and understanding of knowledge in an area of study that is based on general secondary education, and is usually found at a level that, although supported by advanced textbooks, also includes some aspects that involve knowledge from the cutting edge of their field of study.
CB2 - That students know how to apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional manner and possess the skills that are usually demonstrated through the elaboration and defense of arguments and the resolution of problems within their area of study.
CB3 - That students have the ability to gather and interpret relevant data (normally within their area of study) to make judgments that include reflection on relevant issues of a social, scientific or ethical nature.
CB4 - That students can transmit information, ideas, problems and solutions to both a specialized and non-specialized audience
CB5 - That students have developed those learning skills necessary to undertake further studies with a high degree of autonomy
CEOP4 - Knowledge of main risk situations in a work environment, as well as protection and prevention methods
CASUISTICS IN THE EVALUATION
Second opportunity: Students who do not pass the subject on the first opportunity and appear in July, will maintain the grades of the continuous evaluation, having to take only the specific test, that is, the final exam. No new works, activities or exhibitions will be accepted for July.
Repeat students must contact the teacher during tutoring hours in the first two weeks of the semester to assess the need for a specific work plan and evaluation. As a priority, they will be integrated into the common activities of the subject, following, therefore, the general evaluation casuistry.
Students with exemption from class attendance: the written exam will have a weight of 70% of the final grade, while the activities and questionnaires carried out during the course will have a weight of 30%.
In cases of fraudulent completion of exercises or tests, the provisions of the “Normativa de evaluación del rendimiento académico de los estudiantes y de revisión de las calificaciones” will apply.
In-person time:
- Master classes: 30
- Practices: 12
- Individual works: 2
- Seminars: 6
- Carrying out exams and review: 3
Individual working time: 45 – 60
The preparation of the subject can be done based on the notes that students collectes during the expository activities and based on the various materials and documents that the teacher will send them both in the expository classes and during the activities.
The recommended bibliography can be used not only as a source of consultation and clarification of doubts that may arise when studying the topics, but also as a basis for preparing written reports and other productions.
Studying in a reasoned manner and not by rote is essential.
