Methodology

TEACHING LANGUAGE: CATALÀ

 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

Continuous evaluation
The evaluation system will consist of the preparation and delivery of two papers on a mobility and road safety plan in the company and a comment on a report on mobility and road safety. A theoretical exam must also be taken at the end of the course.
The work of the subject must have a mark of 2.5 to be able to add to the continuous evaluation.
The mark to pass the continuous evaluation will be the result of the sum of the evaluation or theoretical exam plus the two works. To pass the continuous assessment, this average must be 5 or higher.
 
Single Assessment
Students who opt for the single assessment will take a final synthesis test of all the content of the subject and will deliver the two assignments of the subject.
The date for this test and the delivery of the course work will be the same scheduled in the schedule for the last continuous assessment exam.
The same recovery system will be applied as for the continuous evaluation.
 
Evaluation of students in the second call or more
The students who repeat the subject will have to take the scheduled tests and exams and deliver the subject work on the dates indicated in the Moodle classroom.
Recovery exam
The student who does not pass the subject, who does not reach 5 (total) out of 10, in accordance with 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 for the subject.
If she has not been evaluated by these two third parties because she has not taken the tests, she will obtain a score of Not Present, without having the possibility of taking the final recovery exam.
In the case of passing the final exam, the course will be approved with a maximum of 5, regardless of the gradeobtained in the exam.
 
Changing the date of a test or exam
Students who need to change an assessment date must submit the request by filling in the document found in the Moodle space for EPSI Tutoring.
Once the document has been completed, it must be sent to the teaching staff of the subject and to the coordination of the Degree.
 
Revision
At the time of carrying out each evaluation 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.
 
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 evaluation act, he will be graded with a 0 this act of evaluation, regardless of the disciplinary process that can be initiated. In the event that several irregularities occur in the acts of evaluation of the same subject, the final grade for this subject will be 0 ".
If there are unforeseen circumstances that prevent the normal development of the subject, the teaching staff may modify both the methodology and the evaluation of the subject.

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.

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.
