Methodology

TEACHING LANGUAGE: CASTELLANO

The online courses require a high level of individual work and reading of the manual and documents that are provided as recommended bibliography and that this preparation should lead to individual reflection on the general aspects of mobility and road safety and how to translate it into a concrete reality, such as are the mobility and road safety plans in the company.

Therefore, reading the manual and other documents is essential, in order to raise doubts and intervene in the possible forums that are held, as well as active participation in face-to-face activities through Teams that are carried out during the course.

This course aims to cover general knowledge about environmental issues and traffic accidents and how it has a practical impact on the reality of companies.

To achieve the final objective, which is the realization and implementation of a sustainable and safe mobility through an action plan, it is important to have a broad vision of mobility concepts and their future trends, as well as the effects that social changes, legal and environmental factors believe in the reality of companies.

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 elaboration and delivery of the works. 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.
The work of carrying out a "Mobility plan and road safety scheme in the company" is an individual work and it is one of the basic objectives of the subject and of continuous evaluation of the subject. Evaluation criteria:
• Late deliveries will not be valued
• This work has a global and maximum evaluation of 30% of the final grade, therefore, the maximum grade will be three points.
• The rubric or evaluation criteria will be indicated when the start of the PEC is given to the students.
 
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.
 
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, theweight 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 grade obtained 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

The basic bibliography of the course is the manual of the subject, but it should also be complemented with the two reference guides that are indicated below and their links. It can be downloaded in PDF.

 IDAE -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.pdf

 

These two guides, in addition to the manual of the subject, are basic to be able to carry out the practical part of the subject, during the course the reading of certain sections of these guides will be recommended. 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 considered as reference and with better content so that they are a reference in any mobility plan in the company.
