Attendance at practical classes, either on Saturday or Wednesday, will be mandatory. If you cannot attend, you must communicate and document your non-attendance by sending an email to the professor and a copy to the coordinator.
The outlines and presentations made in class will not be posted in the Moodle classroom, except for some presentations and at the discretion of the teacher.
In face-to-face classes, general aspects and basic knowledge regarding mobility and road safety will be explained.
The subject manual is a complement to the class explanations. These theoretical explanations will provide answers by applying this knowledge to the practical aspects of the general lines of the subject. Intervention and participation in classes will be valued. The reference guides, indicated in the bibliography, on how to make a Mobility Plan are also readable and assessed in the exams.
Students will work outside of class on aspects of expanding knowledge and the practical aspects requested in the continuous evaluation tests.
Classes cannot be recorded, neither sound nor images. If any unauthorized recording is detected, it will be reason for the offender to fail the subject.
The use of cell phones, tablets and computers may only be used in class for academic purposes, such as taking notes. The improper use of these technologies during class and that do not comply with the indicated academic criteria will penalize the student with 3 points in the final evaluation. If there is a recurrence, it may be cause for failing the subject.
In the Moodle classroom, documents of recommended readings, articles or reports that complement or expand the class explanations will be posted, all of which will be evaluable material.
When students need or require tutoring, it will be requested from the teacher's email and it can be done on the class day 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
Continous Assessment Activities
| Title | Weighting | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| individuall work and implementation of a mobility plan in the company. | 50% | 0 | 0 | 5, 2, 3, 16, 8, 4, 12, 6, 1, 9, 7, 10, 11, 15, 13, 14, 18, 17 |
| Theoretical tests with questions on general aspects of mobility and legal aspects | 50% | 0 | 0 | 5, 3, 16, 8, 4, 12, 1, 9, 14, 18, 17 |
The overall evaluation of the subject will be the sum of the grades of the work carried out during the course and the tests or evaluation tests with questions on the course content.
For unforeseen reasons that prevent the normal development of the subject, the teaching staff may modify both the methodology and the evaluation system of the subject.
The work "Mobility and Road Safety Plan" (PMSV) is an individual work that is considered integrated into the cross-curricular work of the fourth year and that serves as a practical case and continuous evaluation of the subject of mobility and road safety. Therefore, this scheme is assessable for this subject and as part of the cross-curricular work.
In the practical classes on Saturdays and/or Wednesdays, the information of the PACs will be expanded, doubts will be resolved and the practice of the PMSV will be monitored and students may be asked to expand or explain the work submitted. Work on topics of the subject content will be possible and will be submitted and discussed in class. Its assessment will be included in the continuous assessment.
The final written exam may be broken down into a partial exam prior to the final. To take this partial exam, all the requested assignments must have been submitted.
FINAL CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT TEST
There will be a written test on general aspects of mobility and legal aspects. The final written exam may be broken down into a partial exam prior to the final. To take this partial exam, all the requested assignments must have been submitted. This test will have an overall and maximum assessment of 50% of the final grade.
The recommended bibliography will be material that will be assessed in the final exam of the subject. All the bibliography provided or recommended for search will be the basis for the final assessment of the subject, unless the material provided is notified by the teacher of its exclusion from the final assessment.
RECOVERY
In the event of not passing the subject according to the aforementioned criteria (continuous assessment), a recovery test may be taken on the date scheduled in the schedule, which will cover all of the program's content.
To participate in the recovery of students, they must have previously 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. However, the grade that will appear on the student's transcript is a maximum of 5-pass.
Students who need to change an assessment date must submit a justified request by filling out the document that you will find in the EPSI Tutoring Moodle space.
PLAGIARISM
Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, and in accordance with current academic regulations, "in the event that the student commits any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade of an assessment act, this assessment act will be graded 0, regardless of the disciplinary process that may be initiated.
Several irregularities in the assessment acts of the same subject, the final grade for this subject will be 0".
STUDENTS FAILED IN PREVIOUS COURSES:
Those repeating this subject must follow the criteria established in this guide to pass the subject.
SINGLE EVALUATION
Students who opt for the single evaluation will take a final synthesis test of all the content of the subject and will submit all the subject assignments. The date for this test and the submission of the subject assignments will be the same as scheduled in the schedule for the last continuous assessment exam.
The same recovery system is applied as for continuous assessment.
For this subject, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is allowed exclusively in support tasks, such as bibliographic or information searches, text correction or translations. The student must clearly identify which parts have been generated with this technology, specify the tools used and include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and the final result of the activity. The lack of transparency in the use of AI in this assessable activity will be considered a lack of academic honesty and may lead to a partial or total penalty in the grade of the activity, or greater sanctions in serious cases.
