Methodology

Attendance at practical classes, either on Saturday or Wednesday, will be mandatory. If it is not possible to attend, the non-attendance must be communicated and justified with a document by sending an email to the teacher and with a copy to the coordinator.

The schemes and presentations that are made in the classes will not be posted in the Moodle classroom, except for a specific presentation that is necessary at the discretion of the teacher.

In the face-to-face classes, the general aspects and basic knowledge of mobility and road safety will be explained in a master class.

The Manual of the subject is a complement to the class explanations. These theoretical explanations will respond by applying this knowledge to the practical aspects of the general lines of the subject. Intervention and participation in classes will be valued.

The students will work out of class aspects of knowledge expansion and the practical aspects that are requested in the continuous evaluation tests.

Classes cannot be recorded, neither sound nor images. If any unauthorized recording is detected, it will be sufficient cause to suspend the course.

The use of mobile phones, tablets and computers may only be used in class for academic purposes, such as taking notes. The improper use of these technologies and that they do not meet the indicated academic criteria will penalize the student with 3 points of the final evaluation.

Documents such as recommended reading, articles or reports that complement or expand the class explanations will be posted in the Moodle classroom.

Note: 15 minutes of a class will be reserved within the calendar established by the center or by the degree for the students to fill in the surveys to evaluate the performance of the teaching staff and to evaluate the subject or module.

When students need or require a tutorial, it will be requested to the teacher's email and it can be done the day of class before or after class.

Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

Assessment

ASSESSMENT:

The global evaluation of the subject will be the sum of the PEC plus the final evaluation test.

In order to pass the subject, in addition to taking the final test, two of the three assignments must have been completed.

The practical work on a mobility and road safety plan applied to the company can be divided into its realization and delivery.

Carrying out a company's mobility and road safety plan (PMSV) will basically include a description of a work center, analysis of the results of mobility and occupational traffic accidents, a proposal of objectives and a final presentation of what it would be a PMSV.

The work "Mobility and road safety plan" is an individual work that is considered integrated into the transversal work of the fourth year and that serves as a practical case and continuous evaluation of the subject of mobility and road safety.

Therefore, this scheme is evaluable for this subject and as part of the transversal work.

The evaluation of the PEC Scheme of mobility plan will be based on the criteria:

• To carry out the evaluation of the work, deliveries must be made within the established deadlines, in order to conform to the plan. Late deliveries will not be considered.

• This work has a global and maximum evaluation of 30% of the final grade, therefore, the maximum grade will be 3.

• The rubric or evaluation criteria will be indicated when the start of the PEC is delivered to the students.

The second individual work on mobility will be an individual work on a practical and topical aspect that affects the mobility of people and their relationship at work. This work has a global and maximum evaluation of 10% of the final grade, therefore, the maximum grade will be 1.

A third individual work will be based on research on some aspect that affects mobility and road safety related to the company. This third work has a global and maximum evaluation of 10% of the final grade, therefore, the maximum grade will be 1.

This third work, depending on the tasks of the students and according to the majority of those attending the class, can be joined to the second work and make a single delivery, the evaluations are maintained.

In the practical classes on Saturdays and/or Wednesdays, the information of the PEC will be expanded, doubts will be resolved and the practice of the PMSV will be monitored and extensions or explanations of the work delivered may be requested from the students.

CONTINUED ASSESSMENT FINAL TEST

There will be a written test on general aspects of mobility and on legal aspects.

This test will have a global and maximum evaluation of 50% of the final grade.

When it comes to recommended bibliography, it will be a subject that will be evaluated in the final test of the subject.

RECOVERY

In the event that the subject is not passed in accordance with the aforementioned criteria (continuous evaluation), a make-up test may be taken on the scheduled date in the timetable, and which will deal with all the contents of the program.

To participate in the recovery, 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, the grade that will appear in the student's file is a maximum of 5-Passed.

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

PLAGIARISM

Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures 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 instituted.

several irregularities in the acts of evaluation of the same subject, the final grade for this subject will be 0".

STUDENTS SUSPENDED PREVIOUS COURSES:

The repeaters of this subject must follow the criteria established in this guide to pass the subject.

Bibliography

 

Recommended bibliography:

At the beginning of the course, a PDF document will be provided that is considered a manual or reference for the subject.

The basic bibliography of the course, in addition to the readings that will be provided, must be complemented with the two reference guides that are indicated below their links. It can be downloaded in PDF.

PTT Guide: Transportation to Work Plans:

https://www.idae.es/sites/default/files/documentos/publicaciones_idae/guia-idae-019_ptt.pdf

and the DGT guide:

https://www.dgt.es/Galerias/seguridad-vial/estrategias-y-planes/seguridad-vial-en-la-empresa/Plan_maquetado.p

These two guides, in addition to the readings of the subject are basic to be able to carry out the practical part of the subject, during the course the obligatory reading of certain sections of these guides will be indicated.

As there is no standard that indicates the contents and phases of a mobility and road safety plan in the company, it is advisable to always follow a guide (there are several published by various entities) but these two are the most current and those considered as reference and with better content so that they are a reference in any mobility plan in the company.
