Objectives and Contextualisation
The Degree in Prevention and Integral Security is an official degree from the Autonomous University of Barcelona, which offers the student multidisciplinary training in coordinated risk management, in the areas of public and private security, the environment, quality and corporate social responsibility. Graduates will be professionals capable of providing an efficient response to different decision-making processes in the prevention and safety sector, such as those related to economic aspects, administrative and human resources management or those related to technological areas specific to the sector.
The subject "Integrated management models: security" is immersed in a main area of the academic curriculum, called "Techniques and risk management" and is part of a set of five subjects that aim to make students know the techniques and models of the security system. The other four subjects are: criminology and criminology. Social research techniques. Integral management models: environment. Comprehensive management models: quality and corporate security.
The object of study of this subject is to know the area of competence, functional and management, of the different actors acting in the security and emergency system. To do this, we will begin by analyzing the general framework that affects all of them, then we will study them in a singular way and we will end with those elements of support to the management of this type of services. In this way, a global vision of the functioning of the security and emergency system will be reached, and specifically: its mission, objectives, functions, actors, resources available and problems they face.
The training objectives of this subject are the following:
1. To know the theoretical and organizational framework within which they will carry out their professional activity.
2. To identify the organizational and competence of the different police services involved.
3. To identify the organizational scope and competence of the different services involved in the area of urgent health care.
4. To identify the organizational scope and competence of the different services involved in the field of fire and civil protection.
5. Be properly oriented in the environment of operational coordination of the actors.
6. To know the main elements of internal support and annexes to the management of the security and emergency system.

Methodology
Teaching language: Spanish.
The subject is designed for follow-up through continuous evaluation. It is based on a dynamic and participatory model in which subjects should be studied by reading the subject manual and other materials offered, both video viewing, documentation localization, etc. Reflections and comments should be provided to the texts, as well as research on jurisprudence, news, readings or legislation.
For this purpose, the subject is organized into six themes depending on the object of study. A videoconference session will be held at each session to discuss key ideas. Also for each topic, a self-assessment exercise should be answered.
In addition, four continuous assessment tests (PEC) will be carried out on the dates indicated in the curriculum.
The dates of the videoconferencing sessions, as well as the publication of the JEPs and their maximum delivery time, will be published in the virtual classroom, under the name of "Subject programming". It is necessary to take into account these deadlines as the application will not allow to perform the exercises outside each deadline.
Students must contribute reflections and comments to the texts, as well as research on jurisprudence, news, readings or legislation that the teacher requests in the discussion forums.
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 Evaluation
1.- Theoretical exercises (5 points out of 10)
These exercises consist of tests to assess the theoretical knowledge acquired. Specifically:
1.1 Six self-evaluation exercises (2 points).
For each of the six subjects of the course, a self-assessment exercise will be held consisting of answering a questionnaire of several questions. The exercise will be carried out remotely, for which, in each subject, there will be a maximum time for its delivery. In order to solve it, the student will be able to have and consult the documentation he/she considers appropriate, but it must be taken into account that each questionnaire has a time limit for its resolution and only one attempt.
The self-evaluation exercises have a score of 2 points out of a total of 10, so that each one of them is worth 0.33 points, all of them equally.
1.2 Final exam (3 points)
A final classroom exercise will be carried out in the classroom to be determined in the Bellaterra Campus, consisting of answering a questionnaire of 60 multiple-choice questions.
It is not allowed the use of any documentation for the resolution of this exercise and to perform the same must have a laptop in the classroom, as it will be done through the virtual classroom of the University.
This exercise scores a maximum of 3 points out of 10, and in order to pass the continuous evaluation and, therefore, to add up all the exercises of this one, it is necessary to obtain at least 40% in this exercise, that is to say, at least 1.2 points out of 3.
2.- Practical exercises (5 points out of 10)
These exercises consist of the delivery of a set of four continuous evaluation tests (PEC) that allow the evaluation of the practical knowledge.
They are practical cases of operative character in which a situation is exposed as a case, on the basis of which certain information searches must be carried out, consultation of videos, resolution of cases and The resolution of each PEC will be carried out in the term that each one is indicated by what will have a maximum period of delivery. Its structure and content will have to be adapted to the format indicated.
The structure, presentation, content, synthesis, reasoning and content will be valued. This exercise will score a maximum of 5 points out of 10, according to the following distribution: PEC1: 0.5 points; PEC2: 1.0 points; PEC3: 1.5 points; PEC4: 2 points.
3.- Final grade of the continuous evaluation
The final grade of the continuous evaluation will be obtained from the arithmetic sum of each one of the exercises carried out and to consider it passed it will be necessary to obtain at least a five in total.
Single Evaluation
Students who opt for the single evaluation will take a final synthesis test of all the content of the course (50%) and will hand in and/or be evaluated on the practical work of the course (50%).
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 exam of continuous evaluation.
The same recovery system will be applied as for the continuous evaluation.
Recovery Exam
Access to the exam
In the case of not having passed the continuous evaluation, it will be possible to access the recovery exam as long as the student has participated (presented) at least in two thirds of the continuous evaluation.
Objective
This exercise aims to evaluate the whole of the contents of the subject, so it must be carried out in its entirety, without retaining part of the exercises of the continuous evaluation.
Venue
It will take place in the classroom to be determined at the Bellaterra Campus.
Composition
The exercise will consist of a questionnaire of 30 multiple-choice theoretical questions and the resolution of two practical cases.
Complementary documentation
It is not allowed the use of any documentation for the resolution of this exercise and to perform the same must have a laptop computer in the classroom, as it will be done through the virtual classroom of the University.
Qualification
The questionnaire has a value of 50% and the resolution of the practical cases of another 50% of the total.
In order to pass the recovery exam, at least a total of five will have to be reached, which will be obtained from the arithmetic sum of each of the two parts that compose the exercise.
In the case of passing the recovery exam, the grade obtained will be a maximum of 5, regardless of the grade obtained in the exercise.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Oral resolution
If deemed appropriate, some of the tests may be taken orally.
Multiple-choice questionnaire
Characteristics of the exercises in multiple-choice questionnaire format, both of the continuous evaluation and of other tests, for each question four answers will be proposed, of which there is always one correct answer and only one correct answer. Wrong answers will deduct 33%.
Changing the date of a test or exam
Students who need to change an evaluation date must submit the request by filling out the document 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 Grade Coordination.
Revision
At the time of each evaluation activity, the faculty will inform the students of the grade reviewmechanisms.
For single evaluation students, the review process will be the same.
Consult the EPSI Evaluation Regulations.
Other considerations - Plagiarism
Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures that may be deemed appropriate, and in accordance with current academic regulations, "in the event that any irregularity is detected that may lead to a significant variation in the grade of an evaluation act, this evaluation act will be graded with a 0 (zero), regardless of the disciplinary process that may be instigated. In case of several irregularities in the evaluation acts of the same subject, the final grade of this subject will be 0 (zero)".
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.
