Content

• In the subject of Risk Analysis students will know the concept of risk and the different techniques to evaluate and analyze. As a result of the analysis, the necessary skills will be acquired to proceed to convert the information into intelligence.

• BLOCK 1: Risks and associated concepts

• BLOCK 2: Analysis technique and its impact on prevention and safety.


Methodology

Teaching language: Spanish

in order to achieve the learning objectives described in this Guide we will develop a methodology that combines the individual study from the Manual, and the readings that will be presented in each topic, as well as some documentaries and classes throught Webex where the teacher outlines the main points of each topic, with the aim of generating debates about them.

 

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

There will be two individual PECs corresponding to the topics studied in the course. Each PEC has a weight of 35% of the final grade of the course. The remaining 30% corresponds to the theoretical exam.

The exam averages with the continuous evaluation regardless of the grade obtained.

The total weighted average must be 5 points or higher in order to pass.

 

SINGLE EVALUATION

Students who opt for the single evaluation will take a final synthesis test of all the content of the course (30%) and will hand in a document containing the solutions to the two PECs of the course (35% each).

The date for this test and the delivery of the work of the subject will be the same scheduled in the timetable for the last continuous evaluation exam. 

The same recovery system will be applied as for the continuous evaluation.

 

EVALUATION OF THE STUDENTS IN SECOND OR MORE SUMMONS

Students who repeat the course will have to take the scheduled tests and exams and hand in the course work on the dates indicated in the Moodle classroom.

 

SECOND CHANCE EXAMINATION

The student who does not pass the course, who does not reach 5 (total) out of 10, according to the criteria established in the two previous sections may take a final exam provided that the student has been evaluated in a set of activities, the weight of which is equivalent to a minimum of two thirds of the total grade of the course. If the student has not been evaluated of these two thirds because he/she has not taken the tests, he/shewill obtain a grade of Not Presented, without the possibility of taking the final exam.

In this exam the whole of the contents of the subject that have not been passed in the continuous evaluation will be re-evaluated.

In the case of passing the final exam, the course will be approved with a maximum of 5, regardless of the grade obtained in the exam.

 

CHANGE OF DATE OF A TEST OR EXAMINATION

Students who need to change an evaluation date must submit the request by filling out the document that can be found in the EPSI Tutoring Moodle space.

Once the document has been filled in, it must be sent to the professor of the subject and to the coordination of the Degree. 

 

REVIEW

At the time of each evaluation activity, the faculty will inform the students of the grade review mechanisms.

For single evaluation students, the review process will be the same.

 

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

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 act of evaluation, this act of evaluation will be graded with a 0, regardless of the disciplinary process that may be instigated. in the event that several irregularities occur in the acts of evaluation of the same subject, the final grade of this subject will be 0 ".

If during the correction there are indications that an activity or work has been done with answers assisted by artificial intelligence, the teacher may supplement the activity with a personal interview to corroborate the authorship of the text.

If there are unforeseen circumstances that prevent the normal development of the course, the teacher may modify both the methodology and the evaluation of the course.


 
Plagiarism
 
Notwithstanding other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, and in accordance with the current academic regulations, irregularities committed by a student that may lead to a variation of the qualification will be classified by zero (0). For example, plagiarizing, copying, ..., an evaluation activity, will imply suspending this evaluation activity with zero (0). Assessment activities qualified in this way and by this procedure will not be recoverable.
