Content
Right to Safety is a subject that offers a general overview of the main legal bases of the administrative State that guarantee, in a transversal way, the Prevention and the Integral Security of the society. Based on administrative law and constitutional law, it is about exposing the role of the different Public Administrations as the main guarantors of the rights of citizens and the struggle to prevent the dangers that surround us. It is necessary to know the legal resources offered by our legal system and the administrative structure that governs us to be able to develop with ease with the new rights and obligations that are born every day and that they try to face the new risks that threaten us. That is why we have to teach to plan the management of prevention in accordance with the legislation and the exorbitant powers of the different public administrations.
It is about giving the subject through the explanation of the teacher but always helped by the participation of the student who will finish closing the description of the concept exposed through their own vision or experience in the particular sector.
Class discussions will be frequent and will continue through discussion forums through the virtual campus.
In any case, the student will have to solve inside and outside the classroom different questions raised during the class or through the virtual platform for which will be helped by legislative and jurisprudential materials.

Methodology
Teaching language: Catalan
Classes will be based on an interactive methodology in which the teacher will expose the subject matter theory and students for a few minutes, based on these explanations and the previous preparation they have done, discuss specific real situations or of laboratory The discussions will be oral and later written conclusions will be required in order to analyze it individually. Subsequently, one will put in common the key ideas that arise.
The use of the laptop in classrooms will be allowed in most sessions. The teacher will inform when its use is not possible.
The practical classes will correspond to the resolution of assumptions that raise problems of citizen security, environmental, urban planning, etc. The student will have to look up the corresponding documentation to solve the topic under study. It will be necessary to deliver in writing the solutions that it thinks appropriate to the practical case and to motivate their answers, through a critical reflection on the current regulation and on proposals for improvement.
On the other hand, discussions will also be held through discussion forums thanks to the virtual platform.
During the course, an expert will be invited to one of the exhibited subjects, which, through its exhibition, will generate the debate among students.
Tutorials with the teaching staff will be arranged by email
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
Continuous assessment
Two theoretical-practical tests are constituted as partial tests of the syllabus. They will be based on the resolution of situations posed by the teacher through test questions that will need to be justified and will allow the student to assess the knowledge acquired during face-to-face sessions in the classroom or through their individual work. They will each have a value of 50% of the final grade and both must be passed to be able to choose between taking the subject's final exam to raise the grade, or not.
There will also be other types of tests: group practices. These will focus on the mandatory delivery of exercises and factual assumptions proposed by the teacher which must be solved by the students during the session in groups of a maximum of 4 members. There will be one per topic. They must be suitable in order to pass the subject, otherwise, they will have to be recovered during the final test.
The continuous assessment will also take into account, in addition to the previous practical tests, both participation in class and in the activities programmed on the virtual platform.
Final continuous assessment exam. If the student gets less than 5 out of 10 in one of the two partial tests, he/she will have to sit a final exam for the subject that will include the entire course syllabus. This individual test will be based on test questions to be justified and a practical case on the subjects under study. Likewise, a comprehensive reflection on some aspect of the subject will be required.
1. 20 test questions with justification (50%)
2. Resolution of a practical case (40%)
(If the students had attended the practicals in the continuous assessment and had passed them, the grade obtained during the course would be kept and they would not need to complete the resolution of this practical case).
3. Comprehensive reflection (10%)
Unique assessment:
Students who opt for the single assessment will take a final synthesis test of the subject (50%), a practical (40%) and an oral defense (10%). The date for this test will be the same scheduled in the schedule for the last continuous assessment exam. The same recovery system as for continuous assessment applies.
Recovery
If you do not pass the subject in accordance with the criteria mentioned above (continuous assessment, minimum 3.5), you can take a make-up test on the scheduled date in the timetable, which will cover all the content of the program.
To participate in the recovery, the student must have previously been evaluated in a set of activities, the weight of which is equivalent to a minimum of two thirds of the total qualification of the subject. However, the grade that will appear in the student's file is a maximum of 5-Pass. If he has not been evaluated in two third parties for not having presented himself for the tests he will obtain the qualification of Not Presented, without having the option of Recovery.
Evaluation of students in the second call or more
It will be necessary to carry out the scheduled assignments, tests and exams and hand in the course assignments on the dates indicated in Moodle.
Warnings
Students who need to change an assessment date must submit the request by filling out the document you will find in the EPSI Tutoring moodle space. Once completed, the document must be sent to the subject's teaching staff and the degree coordinator.
Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, and in accordance with current academic regulations, "in the event that the student commits any irregularity that could lead to a significant variation in the grade of an assessment act , this evaluation act will be graded with a 0, regardless of the disciplinary process that may be instituted. In the event that several irregularities occur in the evaluation acts of the same subject, the final grade for this subject will be 0 ".
If during the correction there are indications that an activity or work has been carried out with answers assisted by artificial intelligence, the teacher may complement the activity with a personal interview to corroborate the authorship of the text.
Tests/exams may be written and/or oral at the faculty's discretion.
At the time of carrying out each assessment activity, the teaching staff will inform the students of the mechanisms for reviewing the qualifications. For single assessment students, the review process will be the same.
If there are unforeseen circumstances that prevent the normal development of the subject, the teaching staff may modify both the methodology and the evaluation system of the subject.
