Methodology
As indicated in the contextualization of the subject, "Private Security Law" has a theoretical aspect and a practical aspect. The theoretical aspect is learned through the study of materials. The practical aspect of the subject is developed through exercises that will be done individually but where a Forum of doubts and debates will be created.
The course has a MOODLE page open in the Virtual Campus where you will find the subject materials, news and instructions for the subject and the system to do the delivery of work, among other applications.
To access, you must enter the UAB Virtual Campus, whose address is: https://cv.uab.cat/. You have to enter with the University Identification Number (NIU) and password (password) that is provided in the registration process.
The Virtual Campus is also the main communication tool of the students with the teacher, both at the level of doubts, and communication of possible problems in the development of the subject. When a student wants to get in touch with a teacher, they will use the Moodle classroom messaging in preference to the use of email.
For each of the PECs a forum will be opened for questions and debates where participation is key to answering questions or expanding knowledge and sharing them.
Tutorials with the faculty will be arranged by email.
