Prerequisites

This subject does not have any pre-requirement


Objectives and Contextualisation

Consolidate and expand knowledge acquired, in previous years, in various subjects.

Bring them to the practical application level and prepare the student for immediate use of labor requirements.

We will deal with the applications of electronic security, such as physical, human and logical security, in the part corresponding to the patrimonial security manager; Covering all this with "business intelligence" and the issues related to "predatory" counter-marketing, industrial espionage, and crisis and contingency plans, and command boards.

The theoretical content will be reinforced and accompanied by practical exercises.

The students will help to shape the subject, depending on their concerns and manifest preferences.

CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT

1- Periodic exercises

Throughout the course, assignments and exercises will be requested. It is essential to deliver these within the deadlines indicated by the final evaluation. The delivery of the 2 exercises proposed to evaluate the subject will be required. The non-presentation on time will evaluate as 0 (zero). These evaluable works can be proposed to solve directly in theoretical or practical class days.

They will be graded from 0 to 10, an average will be made between all of them and they will have a specific weight in the overall subject of 50%.

2- Theoretical tests - individual practices

It will be done throughout the course 1 exam. It will have theoretical and practical part. The specific weight of the exam is 50% of the overall course.

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 (50%) and will hand in a document containing the solutions to the PECs 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 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 passthe 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/she will 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.

 

NOT ASSESSABLE

If you have not been evaluated by these two thirds because you have not taken the tests or submitted the work, you will obtain a grade of Not Assessable as established by the EPSI Evaluation Regulations, without having the possibility of taking the final recovery exam.

 

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 orwork 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.
