Objectives and Contextualisation

Differentiate and define security systems, such as electronic, physical and human elements, in the latter with special attention to learning men and women with respect and equality without prejudice to gender, installed and deployed in a facility to protect people and property before the different risks that can affect them.

Knowing the regulatory framework that regulates security technologies, and their relationship with the sectors of public security and private security.

Know the different electronic security devices that are marketed, installed, and maintained for the design of comprehensive security plans.

On the other hand, to know the existing physical security systems and how they are combined with electronic security systems to minimize the different risks to which the installation we wish to protect may be exposed.

Assessment

It will start from the criteria based on continuous evaluation, which makes attendance mandatory and will allow us to measure the degree of specific skills of the program that the student has achieved.

The values of each item for the evaluation appear in the following table, all the items must be passed with a minimum grade of 3.5 so that they can be computed in the evaluation.

Midterm exam. Total value: 20%.
The exams may be at the discretion of the teacher in the following way: Oral or written. The writings can be: test type, short questions or long questions to develop or a combination of all the types previously described. The exam grade must be at least 3.5 to be able to add to the continuous evaluation.
PEC. 5 continuous assessment tests. With a value each of 10%. Total value: 50%. The note of the PEC must exceed 3.5 of note so that it can add in the continuous evaluation. In the PEC that detects plagiarism, similarity or has not been well cited, your grade will be 0.
Final exam. Total value: 30%
The exams may be at the discretion of the teacher in the following way: Oral or written. The writings can be: test type, short questions or long questions to develop or a combination of all the types previously described. The exam grade must be at least 3.5 to be able to add to the continuous evaluation.
The PEC and the Papers must be cited in accordance with the corresponding regulations. No work will be accepted without a proper citation. https://ddd.uab.cat/pub/recdoc/2016/145881/citrefapa_a2016.pdf

In case of not passing the subject in ACCORDANCE with the aforementioned criteria (Continuous Assessment), a MAKE-UP TEST may be taken on the date scheduled in the schedule, and which will deal with a summary of all the contents of the program.

To participate in the recovery of the students must have been previously evaluated in a set of activities, the weight of which is equivalent to a minimum of two thirds of the total grade for the subject. However, thegrade that will appear in the student's file is a maximum of 5-approved.

Students who need to change an evaluation date must submit the request by filling out the document that they will find in the EPSI Tutoring moodle space.

Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures that are deemed appropriate, and in ACCORDANCE with current academic regulations, "in the event that the student performs any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade of an evaluation act, they will be graded with a 0 this act of evaluation, regardless of the disciplinary process that may be instructed.In the event that several irregularities occur in the acts of evaluation in the same subject, the final grade for this subject will be "0".

Tests / exams may be written and / or oral at the discretion of the faculty.
